Warhammer Survivors Evolution List
Last updated 2026-10-27 · Demo build
🚧 Demo-era build: Warhammer Survivors launches November 10, 2026. A demo is playable now on Steam and Xbox PC — pages are seeded from demo-era sources and completed at launch.
Demo results (community / datamine)
These names appear together in the 7 October community report and in CapyDB’s demo-file read. They are not an Auroch Digital checklist. Effects that a developer post has actually described are noted in the last column. Everything else stays TBD. No damage column is included, on purpose.
| Weapon | Companion (reported) | Evolves into | Universe | What is actually sourced |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tempest Axes | Sabaton | Whirlwind Axes | Age of Sigmar | Community list and CapyDB datamine. Also played in the IGN preview. No damage figure. |
| Chainsword | Tape Measure | Eviscerator Chainsword | Warhammer 40,000 | Community / datamine only. Effect confirm at launch / TBD. |
| Lasgun | Gauntlet | Meltagun | Warhammer 40,000 | Community / datamine only. The Lasgun itself is official; the evolution is not. |
| Boltgun | Dice Cube | Heavy Bolter | Warhammer 40,000 | Evolved form described by the developer (a stream of fire). Passive is community / datamine. |
| Whirlwind Battery | Liquid Green Stuff | Orbital Bombardment | Warhammer 40,000 | Evolved form described officially (voidship barrages). Passive is community / datamine. |
| Frag Grenade | Bandolier | Ripper Pistol | Warhammer 40,000 | Ripper Pistol is an official unlock for the Legend of Catachan. The Bandolier pairing, and a report that the grenade is not replaced, are community. |
| Nuln Oil | Hourglass | Mordant Earth | Both | Community / datamine, listed once per universe. Nuln Oil’s Oiled status is official; Mordant Earth’s effect is TBD. |
| Boltstorm Pistol | Dice Cube | Typhoon Crossbow | Age of Sigmar | Community / datamine only. |
| Brazier Staff | Liquid Green Stuff | Master of Runes | Age of Sigmar | Community / datamine only. |
| Nebulous Sea Fog | Bugman's Tankard | Aquatic Illusions | Age of Sigmar | October community / datamine. A May community list said Glue instead. |
| Rope and Grapnel | White Dwarf | Ghost of Rhea | Age of Sigmar | The evolved attack is in the 6 October developer post. White Dwarf is community / datamine, not in that post. |
Announced evolutions outside that demo table
These are in developer posts. They are not in the eleven-row October demo table, so a passive copied from a neighbouring row would be an invention.
| Base weapon | Evolved form | What the developer said | Passive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fyrestorm Greataxe | Zangrom-Thaz | Calls Gotrek Gurnisson. The axe swings constantly and speeds up as you charge. The greataxe itself slows if you stand still. 25 February 2026. | TBD |
| Power Fists | Gauntlets of Ultramar | Calls Marneus Calgar, who fires bolter rounds with every attack. 9 April 2026. | TBD |
| Heavy Bolter Fidelis | Purgator Mirabilis | Unlocks the Paragon Missile Launcher: salvos on top of the bolter spray. PlayStation.Blog, 6 October 2026. | TBD |
Names that are easy to mix up
- Whirlwind Axes are the evolution of Tempest Axes. Whirlwind Battery is a different weapon and evolves, in the reports, into Orbital Bombardment.
- Dice Cube is the reported passive for Boltgun and for Boltstorm Pistol. D6 Dice is a separate cross-universe weapon in the developer posts. They are not documented as the same item.
- Heavy Bolter (from the Boltgun) is not Heavy Bolter Fidelis (Morvenn Vahl’s weapon, evolving toward Purgator Mirabilis).
Pairing mechanics are on how evolutions work. Which universe a row belongs to is on 40K vs Age of Sigmar.
