About Warhammer Survivors Evolutions
Warhammer Survivors Evolutions is an unofficial, fan-made guide to Warhammer Survivors, run independently by a fan of the game. We started with weapon evolutions because that is the question every new player asks first: which passive item turns my weapon into something stronger?
What you will find here
- The evolution finder on the home page: all 38 recipes in one table you can search by weapon or passive and filter by universe.
- One page per evolution, with the recipe, the steps to get it and anything unusual about it.
- A how to evolve guide that explains the rules and what to check when a chest does not evolve your weapon.
- A passive item list showing every weapon each passive evolves, in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar runs.
- A free cheat sheet image with every recipe, for a second screen or your phone.
- A beginner guide, a character list with starting weapons and unlocks, and a 40K vs Age of Sigmar comparison.
Where the recipes come from
The developer has not published an official recipe list. Our 38 recipes are cross-checked against several guides published in launch week (November 10–11, 2026), last checked on Nov 12, 2026. We do not claim to have tested every recipe in game ourselves.
- A recipe is marked confirmed when launch-week guides agree on it.
- A recipe is marked unconfirmed when guides disagree. We explain the disagreement on its page.
- When guides spell an item differently, we use the spelling most of them use and list the other one.
- Recipes from the pre-launch demo are only used when the full-game guides match them.
- Details that only one or two guides mention, such as champion summons, are labelled as reported.
What the tags mean
Each recipe carries small tags so you can spot the unusual ones at a glance:
- 40K / AoS / Both: which universe the recipe works in. Two recipes work in both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar runs.
- Max passive: the passive item has to be at its maximum level, not just owned.
- 2-step: you evolve one weapon first, then evolve the result again.
- Extra weapon: guides report the evolution is added as a new weapon and the original stays.
- Summon: guides report the evolution brings a champion into the fight.
- Unconfirmed: launch-week guides disagree about this recipe.
How we keep it accurate
Recipes can change with patches, and launch-week guides are not always right. If something on this site does not match what you see in game, the in-game evolution information wins. We re-check recipes when patches land. The "recipes checked" date at the top of each page only changes when we actually re-check or change something, not automatically.
We keep this site focused on facts you can act on in a run. We do not publish tier lists or build rankings that we have not been able to check, and we do not copy text or tables from other guides.

How to use this guide
Start with the evolution finder if you already know a weapon or passive. If you are planning a run from scratch, use the step-by-step evolution rules, then check the passive list for pairings in your universe. New players can begin with the beginner guide; players looking for a specific character can filter the character list by name, weapon or unlock method.
Each recipe page separates the recipe itself from confidence notes, unusual effects and related recipes. A label such as “unconfirmed” means sources conflict; it is not a promise that the recipe will work in every patch. When the page and the game disagree, use the current in-game information and send a correction through the contact page.
What this guide does not cover
This first edition focuses on weapon evolutions, characters and beginner mechanics. It is not a tier list, a build ranking, a complete enemy database or a substitute for the game's own instructions. We avoid presenting isolated source claims as settled facts, and we do not publish game artwork.
