How to read “Status”: Official means Auroch named the evolved weapon in a Steam post. Community means two independent player charts (vsevochart and warhammersurvivors.com) list the same pairing from the October demo. We have not datamined anything ourselves; where the two charts disagree we say so.
Passive items seen so far
Tape Measure, Gauntlet, Dice Cube, Liquid Green Stuff, Bandolier, Hourglass, Sabaton (Boot), Bugman’s Tankard, White Dwarf. Players also mention Glue, Lightning Bolt and a Figure Case, with no confirmed evolution attached. The hobby-themed names are deliberate — the game’s “meta” items are Warhammer paints and tools (see the Hobby Table stage).
Evolutions you can see in official posts
- Orbital Bombardment (Apr 9): “brings down barrages of voidship fire from above” and is the evolution of the Whirlwind Battery.
- Gauntlets of Ultramar (Apr 9): evolving Power Fists calls Marneus Calgar to your side, firing bolter rounds with every attack — unless you are Calgar.
- Zangrom-Thaz (Feb 25): evolving the Fyrestorm Greataxe summons Gotrek. The base axe only swings while you move and stops after a set amount of damage; Zangrom-Thaz swings constantly and speeds up when you charge into enemies.
- Ghost of Rhea (Oct 6 demo post names the Rope and Grapnel): the grapnel hook restrains enemies and often kills weak ones outright.
What changes at launch
Auroch says the demo was “a short, curated experience” and that progression does not carry over. Expect new passives and new evolved forms for the 40+ characters’ signature weapons. We re-check every row against the November 10 build; rows that fail get removed, not left to rot.
