Warhammer Survivors evolutions, rescues & stages
Steam hotfix 2.1.6GOG, console and mobile hotfixes follow separately.
Weapon evolutions depend on the base weapon, required passive, levels and a qualifying chest. The evolution finder keeps the 40K and Age of Sigmar recipes separate and includes the two-stage Ghal Maraz chain, Gift outcomes and passive-level exceptions.

Directions by stageFind the direction and stage for Hanniver Toll, Catachan, Gotrek, Calgar and the other rescue characters, then unlock their starting weapons.
During a run
- Followers fire from the wrong placeUnderstand why an aura or gun moves to a follower, how attack origin changes positioning, and why picking a weapon does not always add a new champion.
A buff does not seem to workTranslate the game’s stat names into effects and avoid confusing projectile speed, attack size, regeneration and damage reduction.- Enemies speed upUse Nuln Oil with fire damage, distinguish Burning from Poisoned, and understand why a stunned enemy can still attack.
The next stage is lockedUnlock the next stage through level objectives, distinguish encountering from defeating Extremis bosses, and reach the hidden-item scanners.
Bosses take too longBring each Extremis boss’s named counter. Includes starting characters, exact evolution levels and fixes for ordinary bosses that survive waves.

Weapons & squads
- Passive planningReserve passives for several evolutions, compare shared companions and budget upgrades for Tactical Rock and other maximum-level requirements.
Ghal MarazObtain Uskavar from Stormcharged Warhammer and Tactical Rock, then meet the separate Null Pendant requirement for Ghal Maraz.- Nuln Oil & fireCombine Oiled with fire damage, distinguish Burning’s movement increase and evolve Nuln Oil with Hourglass.
- Squad buildsChoose Castellan for follower-based Skill, Kozlowski for XP, or Lorai with Carthalos for grouped targets. Includes equipment and failure conditions.
- Five-follower objectiveUse new-follower portraits and a first-time rescue for the five-follower objective. Extra Lasgun troops alone can leave Figure Case locked.
Level-up choicesUnderstand Chance, Daedalosus, owned-item upgrade offers and why a full equipment category does not stop every upgrade.
Growth & mission rules
- Permanent enhancements
- Reroll, Skip, Banish & Seal
- Tarot & Arcana
- Mission modifiers
- Enemy auras & telegraphs
- Redeployment
- Map relics
- Paint collections
Complete an evolution
Find the exact weapon and passive combination before spending another level-up choice. If it fails, check the chest conditions and required levels. The finder also recognizes selected German, French and Polish equipment names.
Rescue characters and plan followers
Character rescues, Paint Pots and stage progression unlock different parts of the roster. Follower ownership determines who fires a weapon, while squad effects can change the value of another follower. Check those interactions before committing equipment slots.
Check the current mode and patch
Purity, Limitless and Endless War change the run’s constraints. Hotfix timing can differ between Steam and consoles; check the platform before applying a patch change to a build.
Aveline and Max Mahon objectives
Aveline’s secondary spear thrust comes from reversing vertical direction during her attack. Her weapon objective needs 20 secondary strikes in one run. Max Mahon requires 1,000 Nurglings killed in one run; the route keeps extended-time options separate from the normal stage timer.
