All Weapons in Warhammer Survivors and How to Unlock Them

Warhammer Survivors features a massive arsenal inspired by both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. From familiar weapons like the Chainsword and Boltgun to more unusual options like the Nebulous Sea-Fog and Twin-Tailed Cat, there’s plenty of equipment to discover.

However, you won’t have access to every weapon from the beginning. Most are tied to specific characters, meaning you’ll need to expand your roster to unlock more of the arsenal. You can also unlock additional weapons by completing objectives and discovering secrets during runs.

Here’s how to unlock the weapons in Warhammer Survivors and what each one does.

How to Unlock Weapons in Warhammer Survivors

The easiest way to unlock new weapons is by unlocking more characters. Every character has a starting weapon, and adding them to your roster makes their weapon available during runs.

You can unlock characters in several ways, including purchasing them with Coins, rescuing them from stages, completing combat challenges, collecting Warhammer Paint Pots, and discovering secret objectives. Some characters also require you to evolve specific weapons or complete other progression milestones.

Once you’ve unlocked a weapon, you can find it during a run through level-up rewards. Keep in mind that characters and weapons have different Keywords. If your character cannot use a particular weapon, a Follower who can use it may join your squad instead.

How to Unlock More Weapons

If you’re trying to fill out your weapon collection, focus on unlocking characters first. Each new character gives you access to another starting weapon, and some of the more unusual weapons are tied to hidden character objectives. As such, always make sure to check out the Objectives page in the game.

You should also keep an eye on your unlock progress between runs. Some challenges require you to defeat specific enemies or apply status effects, while others involve collecting Paint Pots or finding characters in particular stages.

Once you’ve unlocked a weapon, you can start working toward its evolution. Each base weapon has a corresponding passive item that can transform it into a stronger version. Check out our All Weapon Evolutions in Warhammer Survivors guide for the complete list of recipes.
