How to Unlock All Characters in Warhammer Survivors

Warhammer Survivors features over 40 playable characters split across 40k and Age of Sigmar. While a couple of them are unlocked at the beginning, most of these characters require a bit of grind.

Not all of them can be unlocked the same way. Most require you to complete specific challenges, collect Warhammer Paint Pots, rescue them during runs, or discover hidden secrets. Safe to say, unlocking all the characters in the game will take some time.

How To Unlock Characters in Warhammer Survivors

All characters in Warhammer Survivors can be unlocked in one of the following ways.

• Coins: Some characters can be purchased directly from the character selection screen. You’ll earn Coins as you play, so make sure to save enough for the characters you want.
• Rescue missions: Certain characters are trapped in specific stages. Find them during a run, defeat the enemies surrounding them, and rescue them to add them to your roster.
• Combat challenges: Some characters require you to defeat a certain number of enemies, apply status effects, or complete other combat-related objectives. These challenges can take multiple runs, so check your progress regularly.
• Warhammer Paint Pots: Paint Pots are collectibles scattered across stages. Some require one, some require a combination of them.
• Merchants: You can encounter special merchants during runs who offer unique characters or Trade Agreements. Some purchases have additional requirements, such as visiting every stage.
• Secret objectives: A handful of characters are tied to hidden challenges involving weapon evolutions, specific enemies, or completing objectives across multiple stages.

In all stages, you will see a “?” waypoint on your screen; just follow that, and you will find either an item that is required to unlock a character or the character itself waiting to be rescued.

More importantly, the two universes have separate character rosters, so make sure you select the correct one when looking for a particular champion.
