Warhammer Survivors Character Unlocks: Rescue, Objectives and Weapons

Check the condition shown for the specific champion you want. A rescue encounter, a character-selection purchase and a weapon becoming available during a run are different outcomes; surviving longer does not automatically satisfy all three.

Break the unlock question into steps

1. Identify the exact champion and universe in the selection or objective screen.
2. Read whether the game asks for a rescue, an objective or a purchase.
3. Complete that task and check the recorded result after the run.
4. Separately inspect whether the associated weapon is available to other champions.

This check order is editorial troubleshooting, not a universal in-game route. It avoids assuming that one screenshot of a follower proves the full permanent unlock chain.

Known release complication

The Legend of Catachan could attack with Chainsword after rescue instead of Frag Grenade on earlier builds. Steam hotfix v2.1.6 fixes that behavior. It does not announce that all rescues, prices or weapon conditions were rewritten.

The Catachan profile explains platform timing. Keep the current build number when reporting a condition that appears completed but has not registered.

Keep old demo routes in context

The October demo expanded the featured champion selection, but its progression does not transfer to the full release. A demo rescue description is not a newly verified full-game coordinate or wave count. This guide intentionally does not present a fabricated exhaustive roster walkthrough. The character reference provides reliable starting-weapon distinctions while more exact secret routes require additional evidence.
