Evolving weapons in Warhammer Survivors gives you access to more powerful attacks, but collecting the right equipment is only part of the process. You'll also need to meet an upgrade requirement and obtain the evolution through a boss encounter.
How to Evolve Weapons in Warhammer Survivors
To evolve a weapon in Warhammer Survivors, you need its matching power-up, a fully upgraded weapon, and a chest dropped by a defeated boss.
- Obtain the weapon you want to evolve during your run.
- Collect the specific power-up required for that weapon's evolution.
- Continue upgrading the weapon until it reaches its maximum level.
- Defeat a boss and open the chest it drops.
- Collect the evolution offered by the chest.
For example, the Chainsword evolves into the Eviscerator Chainsword when paired with the Tape Measure. Another combination is the Boltgun and Dice Cube, which produces the Heavy Bolter.
The weapon and its corresponding power-up must be held during the same run. Simply collecting both isn't enough to complete the evolution without the remaining steps.
Why Your Weapon Won't Evolve
If you're having trouble evolving a weapon, check whether you've reached its maximum level and equipped the correct supporting item.
You should also make sure you've opened a boss chest after meeting those requirements. The evolution process isn't completed just by leveling up.
Some power-ups have their own unlock conditions. For example, the Bandolier is unlocked by finishing a run with the Boltgun at level 4 or higher. Without unlocking the necessary equipment, certain combinations won't be available.
Where to Find Every Weapon Evolution
Every evolved weapon requires its own combination, and the available recipes differ between Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar.
For the full set of combinations, including the required weapons and power-ups, see our Warhammer Survivors Evolutions List.
It's worth choosing an evolution before starting a run so you know which weapon and supporting item to prioritize. This also helps avoid collecting equipment that doesn't contribute to your intended upgrade.
