How to Evolve Weapons

To evolve a weapon, you generally need to:

  • Max out your weapon (usually Level 8).
  • Obtain the corresponding passive item.
  • Open an evolution-eligible chest dropped by a boss or elite enemy.
    Most passive items only need to be in your inventory. However, certain evolutions require their passive item to be fully upgraded.
    IMPORTANT: Passives that must be maxed are marked** [MAX LEVEL] **below.

Important Tips

1. Focus on upgrading your main weapon

Try to max out one weapon before spreading your upgrades across too many different weapons. This makes it easier to unlock your first evolution.

2. Plan your passive items

Before choosing a passive, check whether it is needed for one of your weapons. This helps you avoid filling your passive slots with items that don't contribute to your planned evolutions.

3. Some passives work with multiple weapons

For example, Lightning Bolt is used for both Assault Cannon and Benediction of Fury in Warhammer 40,000.

4. Two evolutions are shared between universes

Both Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar have access to these combinations:

  • Nuln Oil + Hourglass = Mordant Earth
  • D6 Dice + Scatter Die = Sustained Fire Dice

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my weapon evolving?

Make sure the base weapon is at maximum level, you have the correct passive item, and any special passive-level requirements are fulfilled. You also need a chest that can grant an evolution.

Do passive items need to be maxed?

Usually not. Only the explicitly marked combinations require a maximum-level passive.

Can I evolve multiple weapons during a single run?

Yes! As long as you have the required weapons, passives and eligible evolution chests.

Why can't I find a particular weapon?

Certain weapons and passive items may require character unlocks or other progression before becoming available.
