Vampire Survivors weapon evolutions: How to create every weapon evolution and union Details on how to perform every weapon evolution and weapon union in Vampire Survivors Guide by Rebecca Jones Guides Writer Published on May 13, 2022 How do you evolve your weapons in Vampire Survivors? Not to be confused with upgrading weapons, which is a relatively straightforward case of levelling up for increases to stats and a few bonuses, weapon evolutions in Vampire Survivors require you to apply certain ingredients to a base weapon in order to create an entirely new weapon form. In addition to higher stats, evolved weapons often come with unique effects compared to their base version. Read on for details of every evolved and united weapon form in Vampire Survivors and how to create them.

Vampire Survivors weapon unions list In a couple of rare instances, instead of creating a weapon evolution, you can instead create a weapon union. This is very similar to weapon evolution, but involves combining two base weapons together (with or without a passive item as well) in order to create the new weapon form. The full list of weapon unions in Vampire Survivors is as follows: Base Weapon 1 Base Weapon 2 Passive Item Union Description Phiera Der Tuphello Eight The Sparrow Tiragisú Phieraggi Quickly fires four lasers that rotate around the character. Projectile speed is lowered, but projectiles can now pass through walls. Amount and Damage scales with Revivals. Peachone Ebony Wings N/A Vandalier Bombards two circling zones with projectiles. Amount and Base Damage are reduced and Cooldown is increased, but Projectile Speed and Pool Limit are also increased. How to evolve weapons in Vampire Survivors Before you can evolve a weapon in Vampire Survivors, you need to have upgraded the base weapon to Level 8, which is the game's max weapon level. In the case of weapon unions, both base weapons need to have been upgraded to Level 8 before the union can take place. With all of the required crafting ingredients in your inventory, you then need to collect a Treasure Chest. These are generally dropped by bosses who spawned 10 minutes or more into a stage, although in some rare cases it's possible to collect one earlier. Any Treasure chest dropped after this point except one containing an Arcana should be able to evolve a weapon. Upon collecting a Treasure Chest, if you have all the crafting ingredients required for a weapon evolution in your inventory, the evolution will occur automatically. The evolved weapon will replace the base weapon in your inventory, but the passive item will remain untouched. In the case of weapon unions, both base weapons will be removed and replaced with the single united weapon, freeing up a weapon slot. The evolved/united weapon will replace the first reward drop from that Treasure Chest. Under almost all circumstances, only one evolved weapon can be generated per Treasure Chest. However, this isn't a hard rule, and some specific Treasure Chests may in certain conditions be able to generate up to five evolved weapons.
