Boltstorm Pistol pairs with Dice Cube to evolve into Typhoon Crossbow on the Age of Sigmar side. The original October demo table names this combination, and the inspected November release table corroborates it with base-weapon level 8.
Use the right Dice Cube recipe
Dice Cube also serves Boltgun on the Warhammer 40,000 side. Sharing a companion does not make Boltgun and Boltstorm Pistol the same weapon or make Heavy Bolter the result of this Age of Sigmar chain.
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Boltstorm Pistol | Base weapon, level 8 in release data |
| Dice Cube | Required passive companion |
| Typhoon Crossbow | Evolved result |
The release table marks the base weapon as replaced. The original report is specifically from the October demo; the later table is used to distinguish current corroboration from an assumption that all demo data remained unchanged.
Check an unsuccessful attempt
Confirm the companion was selected and the pistol's own level is high enough. Then inspect the actual chest reward. A regular upgrade is not the same event as an evolution and does not establish that the next chest will also fail.
No exact chest spawn minute or measured damage comparison is claimed here. If a future update changes the displayed recipe, prefer the installed entry and record the build when reporting a conflict. The passive lookup helps disambiguate Dice Cube from the separate Scatter Die item.
