How do you get Side Sponsons?

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.

Side Sponsons evolution checklist: use the Battle Cannon, carry Figure Case at any level, and open a boss or elite chest. This is the core requirement set for the Side Sponsons evolution in Warhammer 40,000 runs.

• Base weapon: Battle Cannon; max level is required before its evolution step.
• Passive: Figure Case 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

Some guides say the Battle Cannon keeps firing after this evolution, so the sponsons add to it.

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 Battle Cannon to max. Most weapons max out at level 8.
2. Pick up the Figure Case. 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 Side Sponsons.

Other weapons the Figure Case evolves

• In Age of Sigmar runs, the Figure Case evolves the Blade of the High Heavens into Thengavar.
