Without the slingshot in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, all those colorful balloons floating above your head will remain forever unpopped. What’s more, the items they’re carrying will also be lost. Luckily, it’s easy to get your hands on a slingshot, even if you haven’t played much of the game and only have a few bubbles left.
