Frag Grenade evolution

Updated · Evolutions

Quick answer

The Frag Grenade evolves into the Ripper Pistol with the Bandolier passive, per two community demo charts. Auroch's Oct 19 post says the Legend of Catachan "enters each combat zone armed exclusively with Frag Grenades, before unlocking other weapons like his modified Ripper Pistol" — so the evolved form is official, the passive is player-reported.

Frag Grenades as a pick-up

Separately from Catachan’s weapon, Frag Grenades appear as pick-up items around 40K light sources, alongside the stronger Melta-Bomb (Aug 19 Feature Focus). Pick-ups are one-shot; the weapon is permanent.

Catachan’s kit

He moves faster than other Survivors and is built for hit-and-run. In the demo some players reported finding him by a rescue on the Imperial Bastion map; we haven’t confirmed that unlock, so the characters page lists it as unverified.

FAQ

Is the Ripper Pistol a separate weapon?

It's described as Catachan's own modified Ripper Pistol, reached by evolving his Frag Grenades (community-reported pairing).

Do Frag Grenade pick-ups count toward the evolution?

No. Pick-ups are temporary items; the evolution works on the Frag Grenade weapon in your build.
