Warhammer Survivors Weapons List and Every Confirmed Evolution

Quick answer: Warhammer Survivors launches with more than 75 weapons, according to the official store page, but as of the demo (October 2026) only eleven are confirmed by name. The named ones are the Chainsword, Boltgun, Lasgun, Whirlwind Battery, Heavy Bolter Fidelis, Tempest Axes, Rope and Grapnel, Celestial Greatsword, Gauntlets of Ultramar, Nuln Oil, and the D6 dice. Three evolution recipes are verified: Tempest Axes plus Sabaton becomes Whirlwind Axes, Fidelis becomes Purgator Mirabilis, and Rope and Grapnel evolves through Rhea into a banshee mist blast. Every other evolution is unannounced, and this page marks those as TBD rather than guessing.

• The 75+ figure is an officially announced count, not a playable roster you can inspect today.
• Evolutions pair a leveled weapon with its matching passive, then resolve through chest drops.
• Nuln Oil plus any fire source is the strongest confirmed combo in the demo.

How Many Weapons Does Warhammer Survivors Have

The official Steam page advertises more than 75 weapons across the two campaigns, and preview coverage repeats the same number. That is the full extent of what is officially confirmed about the total: a count, not a list. No official arsenal page enumerates all 75, and the demo exposes only a fraction of them.

The demo, which IGN played for roughly two hours across both universes, shows weapons from both campaigns. Progress, unlocks, and achievements are fully separate between the two campaigns. If you are just starting out, read the beginner guide first, then come back here to plan your builds.

Every Confirmed Weapon So Far

The table below lists every weapon with an officially confirmed or demo-tested name. The source column tells you how solid each entry is. Anything without one of those three labels does not belong in this table.

Note: the Gauntlets entry comes from April first-look coverage of the official reveal, hence the media-report label. Ulgromthier is excluded because a single unverified community thread is not confirmation. The full character roster follows the same rule.

Nuln Oil: Oil, Fire, and the Strongest Demo Combo

Nuln Oil is the most talked-about weapon in the demo, and it deserves its own section because it works nothing like a gun. You throw a splash of thick black oil that coats the ground and the enemies standing in it. Oiled enemies move slower, and more importantly the oil itself is flammable: any fire effect that touches it triggers bonus damage across everything coated. IGN specifically calls out the pairing of oil plus flammable interactions as a damage multiplier, and PC Gamer highlights the same trick in its own hands-on time.

The joke lands harder if you know the tabletop hobby: Nuln Oil is a real Citadel shade paint, so the developers turned a paint pot into a weapon. That gag connects to a real system, since paint pots unlock new character forms and secrets, per the Steam page. For timings and coverage details, see the dedicated Nuln Oil guide.

D6 Dice: How the Exploding Die Works

The D6 is the other joke weapon that turned out to be genuinely strong. You throw a six-sided die, and when it lands on the correct face it detonates for heavy area damage. The demo shows it as a high-variance clear tool: most throws do modest chip damage, but the correct roll wipes the densest part of the wave. IGN lists it alongside Nuln Oil as one of the demo standout weaponswhich is remarkable for a tabletop randomizer with a fuse.

Because the die depends on a roll rather than aim, it rewards builds that survive long enough for probability to pay out: movement speed, area coverage from allies, and anything that stalls a wave in place. Its evolution, if it has one, is unannounced, so the table above marks it TBD. Do not trust any page claiming a confirmed D6 upgrade path before launch.

The 3 Confirmed Evolution Recipes

Only three evolution results are verified as of the demo (October 2026). Each has been seen working, either by a preview author or in an official announcement.

Tempest Axes into Whirlwind Axes is the only recipe with a complete hands-on account: the Sabaton passive raises movement speed, and the combined evolution produces lightning-charged spinning axes. The full play-by-play lives in the Neave Blacktalon guide. Fidelis into Purgator Mirabilis comes from the PlayStation Blog reveal: the miracle trait accelerates fire rate, and the evolved form layers a missile volley on top. Rope and Grapnel comes from the same reveal: Lyssa hook-drags packs together, and mentor Rhea converts the pull into an exploding banshee mist.

Official source: Warhammer Survivors launches November 10, new characters revealed

One spelling warning: the PlayStation Blog and official channels spell the Age of Sigmar rogue Lyssa Revenya, while one IGN launch article writes Ravenya. This page uses Revenya and treats the IGN spelling as a typo. Her backstory and weapon details are covered in the Morvenn Vahl and Lyssa guide.

How Weapon Evolution Triggers

The general trigger follows the survivors-like formula, confirmed across demo play. Level a weapon to its cap, hold its linked passive, and the evolution resolves when you open a chest, with green-highlighted elites dropping the RNG chests behind the upgrade loop. Runs last roughly 5 to 20 minutes, so a build comes online or falls apart fast. Picking up another character signature weapon also recruits that character as an NPC ally; the ally squad guide explains that snowball.

What remains unknown is most of the system. The linked passive for the Chainsword, Boltgun, Lasgun, Whirlwind Battery, Celestial Greatsword, Gauntlets of Ultramar, Nuln Oil, and D6 dice is unannounced, and IGN criticizes the demo for making combinations hard to look up, calling out weak onboarding for exactly this kind of recipe hunting. Until the developers publish the list or the game launches on November 10, any evolution chart covering all 75 weapons is fiction. If you want a second opinion on what is worth leveling meanwhile, the demo weapon tier list ranks everything playable today, and the Malum Caedo guide covers the Chainsword opening that most 40K runs start with.

FAQ

How many weapons are in Warhammer Survivors? More than 75 at launch on November 10, per the official store page. Only eleven are confirmed by name as of the demo (October 2026), and the rest have no official names or stats yet.

What is the best weapon evolution confirmed so far? Of the three verified recipes, Whirlwind Axes has the most complete hands-on record from demo play, while Purgator Mirabilis has the flashiest official description with its added missile volley. Nuln Oil plus fire is the strongest confirmed synergy even though it is a combination rather than a formal evolution.

How does Nuln Oil work? You splash oil that slows enemies and coats them, then any fire effect ignites the coating for bonus damage. It is named after the real Citadel shade paint, and it pairs with paint pot systems that unlock character forms.

What does the D6 dice weapon do? You throw a six-sided die and it detonates when it lands on the correct face, dealing heavy area damage. Its evolution, if any exists, is unannounced.

Why can I not find the evolution for my weapon? Because it is probably not public. Only three recipes are verified, and IGN confirms the demo itself makes combinations hard to discover. Check back after launch when the full list is datamined or officially published.
