Warhammer Survivors Power-Ups for Evolutions
Last updated 2026-10-27 · Demo build
On the Steam page, power-ups are what a weapon combines with in order to evolve. The October community list and CapyDB’s passive datamine name the companions below. CapyDB also prints stat lines (health, area, move speed and the rest). Those numbers are a datamine of the demo, not a developer table, and this page leaves them out. The only passive behaviour a preview has described in words is Sabaton: IGN said it makes the character faster, in the run where Tempest Axes became Whirlwind Axes.
Companions named in the demo reports
| Passive | Reported weapon | Reported result | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sabaton | Tempest Axes | Whirlwind Axes | Community / datamine, and played by IGN. Speed effect is the preview’s description, not a percentage. |
| Tape Measure | Chainsword | Eviscerator Chainsword | Community / datamine. A May list also paired Tape Measure with Whirlwind Battery; the October list does not. |
| Gauntlet | Lasgun | Meltagun | Community / datamine. |
| Dice Cube | Boltgun, and Boltstorm Pistol | Heavy Bolter, and Typhoon Crossbow | Community / datamine. One passive name, two universes, not one shared run. See 40K vs Age of Sigmar. |
| Liquid Green Stuff | Whirlwind Battery, and Brazier Staff | Orbital Bombardment, and Master of Runes | Community / datamine. Same note: two modes, not one loadout. |
| Bandolier | Frag Grenade | Ripper Pistol | Community / datamine. One player reply said this passive was maxed; that reply does not set the rule for the others. |
| Hourglass | Nuln Oil | Mordant Earth | Community / datamine, both universes. |
| White Dwarf | Rope and Grapnel | Ghost of Rhea | The result’s attack is in a developer post. White Dwarf is not. |
| Bugman's Tankard | Nebulous Sea Fog | Aquatic Illusions | October community / datamine. The May community list said Glue. |
Passives are not pick-ups
Official posts also describe temporary pick-ups that are not evolution companions: in Warhammer 40,000, Melta-bomb, Blast Template and Hellfire Ammo; in Age of Sigmar, the Purple Sun of Shyish, Ravenak’s Gnashing Jaws and Suffocating Gravetide. Frenzon is described as granting Berserk and raising how often weapons attack. None of those items is in the evolution pairing table. Status names they apply are on the status effects page.
A shorter overview of the same combine-to-evolve rule is the existing power-ups page. This URL is only the companion list. CapyDB’s datamine says the demo has more passives than the nine above. Passives with no reported evolution are confirm at launch / TBD on this page until they are named from a source we can cite without inventing a stat block.
What not to assume
- A passive’s stat bonus. Not printed here. TBD outside the datamine.
- That every companion must be max level. Not established. See how evolutions work.
- That taking the passive without the weapon does anything beyond the passive’s own effect. Unknown.
