A weapon evolution in Warhammer Survivors pairs one base weapon with one passive. Level the base weapon to its max level, hold the passive, and a treasure chest can hand you the evolution. Pick Your character to see who ends up carrying each one, then tick Add to my build on the evolutions you want. The planner adds up the weapons and passives to grab as you level.

What an Evolution Needs

Each card lists the base weapon and the passive with the level they have to reach. The base weapon always has to hit its max level, because the evolution only joins the chest rewards when the weapon’s last level-up lands. That’s level 8 for almost every weapon. Fidelis tops out at level 6.

The passive usually only has to be in your inventory, so the card says any level and a single point in it is enough. Five evolutions want the passive at max level too, and the card shows that level in bold. Bale Eye needs Da Lucky Stikk at level 9, and Gauntlets Of Ultramar needs Codex Astartes at level 6. Plan for those early, because every level you put into the passive is a level-up you don’t spend elsewhere.

Ghal Maraz takes two steps. Stormcharged Warhammer at level 8 and Tactical Rock at level 9 make Uskavar the Sunderer. Level Uskavar to 5, bring Null Pendant to level 5, and it becomes Ghal Maraz.

How to Use the Planner

Start with Your character. The list switches to that character’s universe and every card gains a line about who holds the weapons. A character can only carry weapons that fit their keywords, so when you pick one your character can’t carry, a follower who can joins you and carries it. As Malum Caedo you carry both the Chainsword and the Eviscerator Chainsword. You can carry the Power Fist too, but its evolution, Gauntlets Of Ultramar, brings in Chapter Master Marneus Calgar to carry it. The Lasgun and its Meltagun are a follower’s from the start.

When several characters could carry a weapon, the card names them in the order the game tries them. Heroes the game tags as Unique, such as Knight-Commander Pask, go to the back of the queue. Among the rest, one you’ve unlocked goes ahead of one you haven’t, and after that the game favours whoever shares the most faction keywords, then the most keywords, with your character. For Malum Caedo’s Lasgun that’s Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski, then Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. A follower already in your squad who can carry the weapon takes it before anyone new joins, so whoever carries your Lasgun also gets the Meltagun.

Three weapons have a preferred carrier who jumps the queue once you’ve unlocked them: Sergeant Furan for the Storm Bolter, Neave Blacktalon for the Tempest Axes and Shakana Goldenblade for the Boltstorm Pistol.

Tick Only what my character carries to hide every evolution that needs a follower. Carried by on each card names the characters who can hold the evolved weapon themselves.

The Passive menu works backwards. When a level-up offers you a passive, pick it in the menu to see what it evolves. Lightning Bolt turns the Storm Bolter into the Assault Cannon and the Crozius Arcanum into Benediction of Fury, so it’s worth more to a build that runs both.

Planning a Build

Each evolution you tick lands in Your build, which lists the base weapons with the level each has to reach and every passive with the evolutions it feeds. Two weapons that share a passive cost you one passive between them. Tick Assault Cannon and Benediction of Fury and the build asks for two weapons and a single Lightning Bolt.

Add Ghal Maraz to your build and the planner ticks Uskavar the Sunderer for you, so the list shows both passives.

A Gift tag marks an evolution the game describes as a gift of its base weapon, such as Ripper Pistol from the Frag Grenade.
