Warhammer Survivors Evolutions — Every Weapon Recipe
The full Warhammer Survivors evolutions list: every weapon + passive combo across the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar halves of the game, and which passives must be maxed before the chest.
How evolving works: level a weapon to max (usually level 8), hold its paired passive item, then open an evolution-eligible chest dropped by a boss or elite. Most passives just need to be in your inventory — the few marked [MAX] below must be fully upgraded too.

Evolution rules worth knowing
- 1Prepare the recipe before the chest
Evolutions trigger from evolution-eligible chests dropped by bosses and elites — if your weapon isn't maxed or the passive is missing, the chest just gives normal loot.
- 2Three passives must be maxed
Da Lucky Stikk (Bale Eye), Tactical Rock (Weapon of the Matriarch / Uskavar the Sunderer) and Codex Astartes (Gauntlets of Ultramar) need full levels — everything else just needs to be held.
- 3Ghal Maraz is a two-step chain
Stormcharged Warhammer → Uskavar the Sunderer → Ghal Maraz: the only two-stage evolution, and worth planning a run around.
- 4Pick weapons by their evolution
When choosing between base weapons mid-draft, check the table — committing to 2-3 weapons whose evolutions you want beats spreading levels thin.
FAQ
- ?How many weapon evolutions are in Warhammer Survivors?
21 recipes on the Warhammer 40,000 side and roughly 18 on the Age of Sigmar side, including the two-stage Ghal Maraz chain — plus Nuln Oil and D6 Dice which evolve identically in both halves.
- ?Do I need the passive at max level?
Only for Da Lucky Stikk, Tactical Rock and Codex Astartes recipes — every other passive just needs to sit in your inventory when the chest opens.
- ?Where do evolution chests come from?
Boss and elite enemies drop evolution-eligible chests. Open one with a maxed weapon and its paired passive ready and you'll be offered the evolution.
- ?Which weapons should I evolve first?
Early reliable picks are Boltgun → Heavy Bolter and Chainsword → Eviscerator Chainsword — both passives are common and neither needs maxing. Morvenn Vahl's Fidelis → Purgator Mirabilis is one of the strongest single evolutions in the game.
