Warhammer Survivors features 16 stages across two universes: Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. Each universe has five main stages, a challenge stage, a Hobby Table stage, and a final stage that you unlock by defeating its Extremis Bosses.

You’ll start with one stage in each universe, but you can unlock the rest by reaching specific levels and completing challenges. Here’s every stage in Warhammer Survivors and what you need to do to access it.

There are eight stages in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. You’ll unlock most of them by reaching a certain level on the previous stage.

StageHow to Unlock
Imperial BastionUnlocked by default.
GallowdarkReach Level 20 on Imperial Bastion.
Ork StrongholdReach Level 40 on Gallowdark.
Imperial ShipyardReach Level 50 on Ork Stronghold.
Death World InvasionReach Level 60 on Imperial Shipyard.
Desert WastelandUnlock ‘Eavy Metal mode on any 40K stage.
Hobby Table (Warhammer 40,000)Encounter all three 40K Extremis Bosses.
Perils of the WarpDefeat all three 40K Extremis Bosses.

The first five stages follow a straightforward progression. Once you reach the required level on a stage, the next one becomes available, regardless of whether you survive until the end of the run.

Desert Wasteland is a separate challenge stage. To unlock it, you must first unlock ‘Eavy Metal mode by completing the relevant stage objective. Each stage has its own ‘Eavy Metal requirement, so you can work toward one on whichever map you prefer.

The Hobby Table and Perils of the Warp have different requirements. You only need to encounter all three Extremis Bosses to unlock the 40K Hobby Table. However, you must defeat all three to access Perils of the Warp.

Age of Sigmar also has eight stages, with a progression system similar to the 40K universe. However, your progress is separate, so unlocking stages in one universe won’t unlock their counterparts in the other.

StageHow to Unlock
The Great ParchUnlocked by default.
Skrappa SpillReach Level 20 on The Great Parch.
Bloodwind SpoilReach Level 40 on Skrappa Spill.
Under-EmpireReach Level 50 on Bloodwind Spoil.
The Twin-Tailed CityReach Level 60 on Under-Empire.
GnarlwoodUnlock ‘Eavy Metal mode on any Age of Sigmar stage.
Hobby Table (Warhammer Age of Sigmar)Encounter all three AoS Extremis Bosses.
NecropolisDefeat all three AoS Extremis Bosses.

As with 40K, you’ll unlock the first five stages by reaching specific levels on the previous map. The Great Parch is available from the beginning, and you’ll need to reach Level 60 on Under-Empire to unlock The Twin-Tailed City.

Gnarlwood is the Age of Sigmar challenge stage. You can access it by unlocking ‘Eavy Metal mode on any AoS stage. The Hobby Table becomes available after you encounter all three Age of Sigmar Extremis Bosses, while Necropolis requires you to defeat all three.

How to Unlock ‘Eavy Metal Mode

‘Eavy Metal is a special mode that increases movement speed for both characters and enemies. Characters also receive additional Skill and Coin bonuses.

You must complete a specific objective to unlock ‘Eavy Metal on each stage. These objectives vary, and some require you to defeat a particular boss while others challenge you to avoid taking damage.

UniverseStage‘Eavy Metal Unlock Requirement
Warhammer 40,000Imperial BastionDefeat the Carnifex.
Warhammer 40,000GallowdarkDefeat Typhus.
Warhammer 40,000Ork StrongholdDefeat Grukk Face-Rippa.
Warhammer 40,000Imperial ShipyardTake no damage during minute 7.
Warhammer 40,000Death World InvasionDefeat the Hive Tyrant.
Age of SigmarThe Great ParchDefeat the Plague Furnace.
Age of SigmarSkrappa SpillDefeat a Dankhold Troggoth.
Age of SigmarBloodwind SpoilDefeat a Khorgorath.
Age of SigmarUnder-EmpireTake no damage during minute 13.
Age of SigmarThe Twin-Tailed CityDefeat a Plague Furnace and a Khorgorath.

You only need to unlock ‘Eavy Metal on one stage in each universe to access its respective challenge map. Unlocking it on any 40K stage gives you access to Desert Wasteland, while doing so on an Age of Sigmar stage unlocks Gnarlwood.

That’s pretty much all there is to stages in the game. They are an important part of progression because every stage has a lot of content locked behind it, like weapons and characters. Thankfully, unlocking the normal stages isn’t too difficult.
