Unlock Figure Case by satisfying the five-follower objective in one run, after the two-follower objective. Choose weapon offers that show a new companion’s portrait and use an uncompleted character rescue if you need another addition. Several Cadian troops from one Lasgun are not a reliable way to satisfy the objective.
Check the portrait before selecting a weapon
A weapon that your current champion or an existing follower can use may join that bearer without adding anyone. The official Squad System assigns equipment through character keywords. In the Steam objective thread, Dirk Steele points to the portrait beside an offer as the useful sign that it brings a follower.
These are named offers to inspect, rather than a fixed five-person recipe:
| Offer | Companion and condition |
|---|---|
| Lasgun | Players identify Kozlowski as its follower. Another bearer or a champion already using Lasgun changes the setup; check the portrait. |
| Shield of Faith | Players using Tor Garadon report the shield on a Sororitas follower. Starting as Amalia already gives you this weapon, so that starting choice is not an extra follower offer. |
To put Lasgun into the ordinary weapon pool, rescue Kozlowski on Imperial Bastion, play as him and raise Lasgun to level 6. Shield of Faith’s unlock objective is surviving five minutes as Amalia. These weapon unlocks create future offers; they do not add five followers immediately.
The ownership guide explains the attack-position consequences. Tor’s follower-carried shield surrounds its bearer, while Amalia’s starting shield surrounds Amalia.
A successful route includes a new rescue
In the Reddit follower thread, Deyruu reports completing the objective with four follower-bearing weapon selections and a newly rescued character in the same run. Deyruu mostly played Age of Sigmar and did not name all four weapons, so that report does not establish a guaranteed 40K lineup.
- Check that the two-follower objective is complete and the five-follower objective is available.
- Choose a stage with a champion you have not yet rescued. Use the rescue table to identify that character and stage.
- Take new-follower offers with a portrait. After each, compare the actual retinue and objective counter.
- Complete the first-time rescue during that same run. Check whether the objective recognizes the addition before planning another run around it.
A normal six-weapon setup has the starting weapon plus five further weapon selections. The number of occupied slots is therefore not a count of followers: a weapon can belong to someone already present, and a rescue is a separate addition.
Why five Lasgun troops can fail
Examination_Dry’s Reddit report and the Steam objective thread both describe several Lasgun troops without completion. Other players distinguish a troop added by a Lasgun level from a new named companion. Treat the visible army and the objective counter as separate checks.
Lasgun troops can still matter for Castellan’s Skill and Kozlowski’s Veterancy. Failure to complete Figure Case does not prove that every follower-based character effect also ignores those troops. For an XP-oriented Kozlowski setup, see XP collection and leveling.
Figure Case and the preceding reward
| Objective | Reward |
|---|---|
| Two followers in one run | Bugman’s Tankard passive |
| Five followers after that objective | Figure Case passive |
Figure Case adds a Redeployment restoring 50% Wounds. Its second level adds another Redeployment. Unlocking the passive makes it available for future selections; it does not equip it at the start of every run. The Redeployment guide separates that passive from character-specific revives.
If the objective counter stays at zero
Check the preceding objective, then inspect whether your selections introduced new companions. Both current threads also contain unresolved counter reports. They do not establish a universal reset or save-repair action.
Steam hotfix 2.1.6 does not announce a general five-follower fix. The hotfix page lists its actual changes and the later rollout planned for other platforms.
