Warhammer Survivors weapon evolutions

Look up six named base-to-evolved weapon pairs and see what changes. These pairs identify the result; they are not passive-item recipes or level requirements. Do not substitute Vampire Survivors recipes for this game.

Armoured figures fight green creatures in an industrial corridor beneath vertical golden strikes.

Base weaponEvolved weaponWhat changes
BoltgunHeavy BolterAn evolved Boltgun unleashing sustained firepower.
Fyrestorm GreataxeZangrom-ThazEvolved Fyrestorm Greataxe summons Gotrek unless he is already the player character. Swings continuously even while stationary and speeds up when moving.
Power FistsGauntlets of UltramarAn evolved Power Fists weapon adds bolter rounds to attacks.
Whirlwind BatteryOrbital BombardmentCalls barrages of voidship fire from above.
Heavy Bolter FidelisPurgator MirabilisAdds Paragon Missile Launcher salvos alongside Fidelis fire.
Rope and GrapnelGhost of RheaAn evolved Rope and Grapnel summons Rhea’s ghost, crossing the battlefield and bursting into damaging fog.

These are evolution identities, not complete passive recipes.

Find the evolved weapon

Search either the base weapon or the evolved name in the table. A result like Boltgun → Heavy Bolter tells you which weapon changes into which, without guessing what triggers the evolution. Exact combination requirements need the game’s own evolution screen.

Summons are part of two evolutions

Zangrom-Thaz summons Gotrek and Gauntlets of Ultramar summons Marneus Calgar, unless you are already playing that champion. The summon comes with the evolved weapon. It does not prove a character unlock condition or a requirement to select a particular champion before evolving.

An evolution can change movement

Fyrestorm Greataxe rewards movement and is weaker while you stand still. Zangrom-Thaz keeps swinging while stationary and becomes faster while moving. This is a practical change in how you hold ground. Rope and Grapnel drags enemies with hooks; Ghost of Rhea instead crosses the battlefield and bursts into fog.

Whirlwind Axes and unnamed results

Neave’s Whirlwind Axes develop lightning attacks in their evolved form. That behavior can help identify the upgrade, but no separate evolved name belongs in this named-pair table. The older Fyreslayer Axe label and Fyrestorm Greataxe lead to Zangrom-Thaz; treat them as naming variants rather than two proven recipes.
