Followers in Warhammer Survivors are additional allies who fight alongside your character. Recruiting five of them also completes a challenge that unlocks a useful passive item. You can reach that number in a single run by combining two specific weapons.
How to Get Followers in Warhammer Survivors
To get followers in Warhammer Survivors, unlock characters with unique weapons and select those weapons during a run. Certain weapons summon their associated characters as companions, allowing you to increase your follower count without changing your playable character.
After unlocking a character, play as them for five minutes on any stage to make their weapon eligible to appear among level-up rewards.
You can recognize a follower weapon by looking for a character portrait beside its icon on the level-up screen. Selecting that weapon adds the associated companion to your group.
How to Get 5 Followers in Warhammer Survivors
The easiest way to complete the five-follower challenge is to use Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and Sister Superior Amalia Novena. Their weapons can provide all five companions without requiring five different follower weapons.
- Unlock Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and Sister Superior Amalia Novena, along with their respective weapons.
- Play as each unlocked character for five minutes to make their weapons eligible for level-up rewards.
- Start a new run using Malum Caedo.
- Choose the Lasgun and Shield of Faith when they appear as weapon rewards.
- Continue upgrading the Lasgun until it reaches Level 6.
The important part is the Lasgun. As you upgrade it, additional troopers join your group. By Level 6, it provides four followers in total, counting Bartosz himself.
Shield of Faith adds Sister Superior Amalia Novena as another companion, bringing your total to five.
This makes the combination particularly efficient: the Lasgun supplies most of the followers, while Shield of Faith provides the final one. You don't need to collect five separate weapons to complete the objective.
What Do You Get for Having 5 Followers?
Reaching five followers completes the challenge required to unlock Figure Case. You can finish the run after meeting the requirement, and the unlock notification appears on the post-action report screen.
Figure Case is a passive item that allows you to redeploy after dying. It also has two upgrade slots, with each upgrade granting another redeployment opportunity.
The passive has another purpose: Figure Case is required for the Battle Cannon weapon evolution. You can find the other evolution requirements in our Warhammer Survivors Evolutions List.
