Weapon evolutions are an important part of building a strong run in Warhammer Survivors. By combining weapons with the correct passive items, you can unlock upgraded versions that offer more powerful attacks and new effects.
The Age of Sigmar universe has several interesting combinations, including Whirlwind Axes, Aquatic Illusions, Zangrom-Thaz, and Bladed Vortex. You need to level up the required weapon to its maximum level and collect the matching passive before opening a chest to trigger an evolution.
In this guide, we will cover every Age of Sigmar weapon evolution, the items required for each combination, and how to unlock the secret Long-Fusil weapon. I’ll also explain the special Fusil-Cannon process because it does not follow the usual evolution system.
Warhammer Survivors Age of Sigmar Evolutions Guide
Most weapon evolutions in Warhammer Survivors follow the same process:
- Choose a character who starts with the weapon you want to evolve.
- Level that weapon up to its maximum level.
- Collect the passive item required for its evolution.
- Open a chest after meeting the requirements.
- If the combination is correct, the weapon will evolve.
Keep in mind that simply collecting the matching passive is not enough. You must also max out the weapon before opening a chest.

How to Unlock the Long-Fusil in Warhammer Survivors
The Long-Fusil has a different unlock method from regular weapon evolutions. You might notice that the Fusil-Cannon does not have a normal weapon-and-passive combination in the Armory.
Instead, you need to unlock a secret character called Major Docheval. He starts with the Long-Fusil, and you can eventually unlock the weapon for your collection.
Step 1: Unlock Juntar Bernskyn
Juntar Bernskyn is available to purchase from the beginning of the game. Unlock him so you can start working towards the Fusil-Cannon.
Step 2: Unlock the Fusil-Cannon
Play as Juntar Bernskyn and reach Level 10. This unlocks the Fusil-Cannon.
Step 3: Unlock ‘Eavy Metal Mode
Defeat one of the bosses listed in the Objectives tab. Doing this unlocks ‘Eavy Metal mode, which gives you access to Gnarlwood.
Step 4: Find the Amberbone Relic
Enter Gnarlwood and travel east to find the Amberbone relic. You need this relic for the secret character unlock.
Step 5: Unlock Major Docheval
Continue playing as Juntar Bernskyn after collecting Amberbone. The unlock requirement is described as:
“Cause major trouble with a fusil-cannon in one hand, and a beastly realmstone in the other.”
In practice, you need to reach a high level with Juntar Bernskyn while carrying the Fusil-Cannon and Amberbone. Completing this requirement unlocks Major Docheval.
There is also an alternative: enter the secret code greywaterfastness to unlock Major Docheval and the Long-Fusil.
Step 6: Unlock the Long-Fusil
Once Major Docheval is available, play as him and deal 10,000 retaliatory damage. Completing this requirement unlocks the Long-Fusil.
Does the Fusil-Cannon Evolve?
The Fusil-Cannon does not appear to follow the normal evolution system. Even after reaching its maximum level and opening chests, it does not trigger a standard evolution.
Instead, the Long-Fusil is unlocked through Major Docheval’s character progression. Interestingly, Major Docheval can use both the Fusil-Cannon and Long-Fusil at the same time.
There are plenty of Age of Sigmar evolutions to collect in Warhammer Survivors, and some require unusual passive items such as Golden Demon, White Dwarf, and Kragg Blackhammer’s Master Rune.
If you’re trying to complete the Armory, work through the combinations one at a time and remember to max out each weapon before opening a chest. The Long-Fusil is a separate challenge, so don’t waste time trying to evolve the Fusil-Cannon through the usual method.
