Unlocking new maps in Warhammer Survivors isn't always as simple as finishing your current stage. Different locations have specific progression requirements, and missing one can leave the next map locked even after a successful run. Here's how the system works.
How to Unlock New Maps in Warhammer Survivors
To unlock maps in Warhammer Survivors, complete the progression requirements shown in the Objectives menu. Most standard Warhammer 40,000 stages are unlocked by reaching a specific character level on the preceding map, while certain challenge stages have separate requirements.
Here are the confirmed map unlock conditions:
| Map | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|
| Gallowdark | Reach Level 20 on Imperial Bastion. |
| Ork Stronghold | Reach Level 40 on Gallowdark. |
| Imperial Shipyard | Reach Level 50 on Ork Stronghold. |
| Death World Invasion | Reach Level 60 on Imperial Shipyard. |
| Hobby Table (40K) | Encounter all three Extremis bosses. Surviving 20 minutes in a Mission is a prerequisite. |
| Perils of the Warp | Defeat all three Extremis bosses. |
| Gnarlwood (Age of Sigmar) | Unlock 'Eavy Metal mode on any stage. |
The important distinction is that reaching the required character level counts toward unlocking the next map. You don't necessarily have to defeat the stage's final boss to satisfy a level-based objective.
Challenge stages work differently. For example, Hobby Table requires encountering Extremis bosses, whereas Perils of the Warp requires defeating them.
The other Age of Sigmar map requirements and Desert Wasteland's normal unlock condition aren't established by the provided objective entries, so check their individual rewards in the Objectives menu.
Why Aren't New Maps Unlocking?
If you've completed a stage but the next map remains locked, you probably haven't satisfied its specific progression requirement.
For example, surviving Gallowdark without reaching Level 40 won't complete the objective for unlocking Ork Stronghold.
Open the Objectives menu and look for the stage you want to unlock. The corresponding entry tells you which milestone to complete and whether another objective must be finished first.
I'd focus on reaching the required level rather than repeatedly completing the same stage without checking its unlock conditions. Improving your experience gain through Veterancy Enhancements can also help with level-based objectives.
Can You Unlock Maps With Secret Codes?
Yes. Warhammer Survivors also has secret incantations that unlock specific stages without completing their normal progression objectives.
Here are several examples:
- Gallowdark:
spacehulk - Ork Stronghold:
greenisdabest - Imperial Shipyard:
navisimperialis - Death World Invasion:
articulomortis - Gnarlwood:
thondia
These codes must be entered into the appropriate universe's Secrets menu.
However, accessing the Secrets menu requires collecting its corresponding relic first. Warhammer 40,000 uses The Book of Tzeentch, while Age of Sigmar uses the Eye of Tzeentch.
For players just starting the game, completing the Objectives menu requirements is generally the more practical way to unlock additional maps. Secret codes become another option once you've gained access to the relevant menu.
