How do you get Ripper Pistol?

This pairing is for Warhammer 40,000 runs. A familiar passive can lead to a different recipe in the other universe, so check the universe label before building around it.

Ripper Pistol evolution checklist: use the Frag Grenade, carry Bandolier at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Ripper Pistol evolution in Warhammer 40,000 runs.

• Base weapon: Frag Grenade; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Bandolier at any level.
• Chest: a boss or elite chest after the requirements are ready.
• Result: adds a new weapon; the base weapon stays.

Things to know

The Ripper Pistol is added as an extra weapon and the Frag Grenade stays in your loadout.

Step by step

Keep the weapon, passive and eligible chest requirements in view together. A matching weapon and passive do not trigger an evolution by themselves; the chest is the final step.

1. Level the Frag Grenade to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
2. Pick up the Bandolier. Any level works, so you do not need to upgrade it.
3. Open a boss or elite chest. Kill a boss or elite enemy and open the chest it drops. If the weapon and passive are both ready, the chest gives you Ripper Pistol.

Other weapons the Bandolier evolves

• In Age of Sigmar runs, the Bandolier evolves the Brace of Pistols into Duelling Pistols.
