Warhammer Survivors Weapon Evolutions
Last updated 2026-10-27 · Demo build
Search pages for “Warhammer Survivors weapon evolutions” are currently a community wiki, a datamine, and a write-up of developer posts. whsurvivors.wiki publishes the October community pairings and says they are unconfirmed. CapyDB prints the same pairings and then adds file stats. The Games Wiki sticks to forms Auroch Digital has described. This page is the pairing table only, with the source of each cell labelled, so it can sit next to those results without pretending a datamine is a patch note.
October demo pairings
Count them as eleven unique recipes. Nuln Oil + Hourglass = Mordant Earth is reported for both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, which is why some tables show twelve rows. The October community post does not give levels. CapyDB’s datamine says each base weapon maxes at 8 and that the passive only has to be in the inventory. Treat that sentence as a datamine. The how evolutions work page keeps the boss-chest reports in one place.
| 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. |
Official weapon facts that are not the pairing
- Chainsword — Malum Caedo’s starting weapon, horizontal serrated attacks. The Eviscerator result is not in that post.
- Lasgun — fires at the nearest enemy; levelling it adds Cadian squadmates; taking it on another champion recruits Trooper Kozlowski. Meltagun is the reported evolution, not the official description of those levels.
- Boltgun — Brother Luca’s starter. The developer says it evolves into a Heavy Bolter with a stream of fire. Dice Cube is the reported companion.
- Whirlwind Battery — missiles from above in the IGN hands-on. The developer names Orbital Bombardment as the evolution. Liquid Green Stuff is the October reported companion; a May community list said Tape Measure.
- Nuln Oil — a cross-universe weapon that applies Oiled, so fire damage hurts more. Mordant Earth is the reported evolution. See status effects.
- Rope and Grapnel — hooks from the screen edge. The developer describes the Ghost of Rhea evolution. White Dwarf is only in the community / datamine column.
Art cards for Chainsword, Lasgun, Whirlwind Axes and Nuln Oil are on the older illustrated evolutions page. The full set is the table on this page.
