Max the base weapon, carry its matching passive and open an evolution-capable chest. Most passives work at level one; Bale Eye, Weapon of the Matriarch, Gauntlets of Ultramar, Uskavar the Sunderer and Ghal Maraz require the passive’s maximum level.
For a normal 40K example, Chainsword level 8 plus Tape Measure at any level can produce Eviscerator Chainsword. Tape Measure does not need to be maxed. A chest whose rewards only upgrade existing equipment cannot finish the evolution.
Use the evolution finder to search a weapon, a passive you already carry, or selected German, French and Polish equipment names. The tables give the required base-weapon and passive levels.

Ghal Maraz has two stages
Stormcharged Warhammer must reach level 8 with Tactical Rock at level 9 to obtain Uskavar the Sunderer. Then raise Uskavar to level 5 and Null Pendant to level 5 before seeking Ghal Maraz. Keeping Tactical Rock does not satisfy the second step’s Null Pendant requirement.
The Ghal Maraz route includes the passive unlock route. Uskavar is also Skarbrand’s counter, so identify which hammer the encounter requires before planning the second step.
Two evolutions using one passive
In a 40K run, Storm Bolter and Crozius Arcanum both use Lightning Bolt. With Lightning Bolt held, max each weapon to level 8 and obtain their evolution rewards to receive Assault Cannon and Benediction of Fury. This saves a passive type compared with Chainsword plus Lasgun, which need Tape Measure and Gauntlet separately. It does not establish which pair deals more damage.
Passive planning compares these requirements. A shared passive still leaves the two weapons’ levels and chest rewards to complete.
D6 Dice and Dice Cube are different equipment
D6 Dice is a weapon. Its evolution uses Scatter Die and produces Sustained Fire Dice. Dice Cube is a passive used by Boltgun and Boltstorm Pistol; it does not replace Scatter Die in the D6 recipe.
Gifts and special transformations
Rows marked Gift distinguish those outcomes from ordinary evolutions. A Gift label alone does not tell you that a weapon slot becomes free. Keep the two Ghal Maraz steps separate when counting the setup’s requirements.
The ordinary pairings here exclude the Fusil-Cannon’s special transformation and hidden upgrades. Aveline’s secondary-strike objective also needs its own weapon conditions; use the Aveline route for that task.
If a finished recipe produces only another upgrade, check chest eligibility. If it changes the attack’s bearer, check follower weapon ownership. The equipment database lists the base weapons, results and unlock objectives.
