40K evolution recipes

What should I check before opening a chest?

Petersilie’s guide describes a base weapon at its maximum upgrade, the named passive in your inventory and an eligible boss or elite chest. Having a matching name is only one part of that sequence. The guide says most passives need to be present, while certain marked passives must be fully upgraded.

Read the passive column carefully: Power Fist uses Codex Astartes, while Lasgun uses Gauntlet. Their similar-sounding equipment does not make the recipes interchangeable. The main evolution guide explains the general checks and evidence limits.

Which 40K recipes need a maxed passive?

The 40K snapshot marks three passive types: Da Lucky Stikk for Power Klaw, Tactical Rock for Ardent Blade, and Codex Astartes for Power Fist. Use the maximum shown in your game. This chart does not establish one numerical maximum for every passive.

In a launch-era Steam discussion, Angry Canadian also names Power Fist and Codex Astartes for Gauntlets of Ultramar. That is local support for that pairing; it does not independently verify the entire table or guarantee a win against every Boss.

Are the shared weapons 40K exclusives?

No. The chart also lists Nuln Oil + Hourglass and D6 Dice + Scatter Die in Age of Sigmar. We show each in both universe tables to make them findable. They remain two shared pairings, not four different evolutions.

Weapons and passives are separate concepts here: D6 Dice is a weapon, while Dice Cube is a passive used by Boltgun. Search the full name when planning your next upgrade.

Does this cover every weapon effect and unlock?

No. This page covers the pairings in the collected player chart. It does not invent damage values, unlock prices, follower limits or exact chest odds. A named evolution is not evidence of its complete combat behaviour.

For the official explanation of what happens when your character cannot wield a picked weapon, continue to followers and keywords. For names on the fantasy side, switch to Age of Sigmar recipes.
