The Lasgun can become the Meltagun in Warhammer Survivors, but evolving it requires more than collecting weapon upgrades. You'll need the correct supporting item and a boss chest to complete the transformation. Here's what to prioritize during your run.
How to Get the Meltagun in Warhammer Survivors
To evolve the Lasgun into the Meltagun, collect the Gauntlet power-up, upgrade the Lasgun to its maximum level, and open a chest dropped by a defeated boss.
Follow these steps to complete the evolution:
- Start a run with Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski, who begins with the Lasgun, or obtain the weapon during a run with another character.
- Collect the Gauntlet power-up when it becomes available.
- Continue selecting Lasgun upgrades until the weapon reaches its maximum level.
- Defeat a boss after meeting the weapon and power-up requirements.
- Open the boss chest to obtain the Meltagun evolution.
The Lasgun does not automatically transform when it reaches maximum level. You'll need to obtain the evolution through a boss chest after preparing the correct combination.
Starting with Kozlowski is a convenient choice because you already have the required weapon. That leaves you free to concentrate on finding the Gauntlet and upgrading the Lasgun instead of searching for the weapon first.
Lasgun Evolution Requirements
The Meltagun is the Lasgun's evolved form in the Warhammer 40K setting. Its combination is straightforward, with only one specific supporting power-up required.
| Requirement | Needed |
|---|---|
| Starting Weapon | Lasgun |
| Required Power-Up | Gauntlet |
| Weapon Level | Maximum |
| Evolution Source | Boss Chest |
| Evolved Weapon | Meltagun |
What Does the Gauntlet Do?
The Gauntlet is a supporting power-up that increases damage. For the Lasgun specifically, it also serves as the required item for unlocking the Meltagun evolution.
You don't need to treat the Gauntlet as a separate weapon to evolve. Instead, keep it alongside your Lasgun while concentrating your weapon upgrades on reaching the Lasgun's maximum level.
If you're choosing which upgrades to prioritize, I'd focus on completing the Lasgun's requirements before the next boss chest becomes available.
