Warhammer Survivors Weapon Evolution Recipes
A release-era weapon evolution chart for both Warhammer settings, with passive requirements, level exceptions, chest notes, and source conflicts.
The release-era charts pair most weapons with a passive to produce an evolved weapon. The table below follows Wikily’s release-version chart, which dates its values to November 10, 2026. PowerUpGaming’s launch-week list agrees on many pairings, but the sources differ on some names and on what they count as an evolution. Treat this as a sourced community reference, not an official Auroch recipe list; the game build has not been independently tested.

How to get an evolution
The release-era Wikily chart says to get the base weapon to its listed level, hold the paired passive, then open a treasure chest whose prize list includes an evolution. A passive counts at any level unless a level is shown in the table, and the passive is not consumed. PowerUpGaming summarizes the trigger as opening a boss chest after maxing the weapon; because the charted chest rewards vary by stage and time, use the in-game chest prize label rather than assuming every boss chest can evolve a weapon.
Most listed weapons reach level 8. The chart’s exceptions include Fidelis at level 6, Uskavar the Sunderer at level 5, and the listed level requirements for Da Lucky Stikk, Tactical Rock, Codex Astartes, and Null Pendant.
Special case: Long-Fusil
PowerUpGaming lists Fusil-Cannon plus Amberbone as the Long-Fusil route. Wikily lists Long-Fusil but says it is not granted by a regular treasure-chest evolution check, and does not provide a passive or level in that row. Since the sources do not describe the same trigger, this page does not give a confirmed Long-Fusil recipe.
What remains uncertain
- Flintlock Pistols: both tables pair it with Ardcoat at level 8, but the result name differs. The game-facing Wikily chart says Aqshian Firestakes; PowerUpGaming says Anti-Wizard Flintlock. Check the result shown in your own build before relying on the name.
- Long-Fusil: the passive, level, and trigger remain unresolved between the published descriptions.
- Release/build scope: Wikily labels its tables as release-version values dated November 10, 2026. Neither source identifies an exact build or discloses its data-collection method, and this project has not tested the game.
For a broad overview of run planning, see difficulty tips. For the general evolution concept, the Steam store page says weapons can be combined with power-ups and evolved; it does not publish this recipe table.
Five passives in the evolution chart
The release-version passive index lists 22 passives. These five appear in the recipes above; each is reported for both settings. Effects and rank counts below come from Wikily’s release-era passive pages; recipe pairings follow its evolution chart.
| Passive | Reported level 1 effect | Maximum level | Listed evolution use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dice Cube | Fires one more projectile | 2 | Boltgun, Boltstorm Pistol |
| Bandolier | Reduces reload time by 8% | 5 | Frag Grenade, Brace of Pistols |
| Hourglass | Extends attack and effect time by 10% | 5 | Nuln Oil |
| Liquid Green Stuff | Increases maximum Wounds by 20% | 5 | Whirlwind Battery, Brazier Staff |
| Tape Measure | Increases attack size by 10% | 5 | Chainsword, Grandblade |
Auroch’s official game overview describes weapons, power-ups, relics, collectibles, and secrets as separate parts of the game. This article focuses on weapon evolution pairings; it is not a complete inventory or full weapon-stat catalogue.
