Warhammer Survivors Guide

The Legend of Catachan

Updated · Champions

Quick answer

The Legend of Catachan is the fast hit-and-run champion added to the October demo: he "speeds across the battlefield compared to other Survivors" and starts armed exclusively with Frag Grenades, later unlocking his modified Ripper Pistol (community recipe: Frag Grenade + Bandolier). His full-game unlock condition isn't published.

Playstyle

Grenades mean you’re never auto-aiming at the nearest target — you lob into the pack and keep moving. The Melta-Bomb pick-up is a heavier version of the same idea. Expect him to shine on open maps and struggle in the Gallowdark’s corridors.
