Warhammer Survivors Paint Pots: Character Forms and Changed Counters

Paint pots unlock character forms and secrets, according to the official store. They are progression objects with specific conditions, so a pot's name or real tabletop paint color does not establish its in-game effect or unlock threshold.

A real launch-day change

Steam hotfix v2.1.6 reduced kill-count requirements involving D6 Dice and Nuln Oil for Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade paint pots. The announcement names the two weapons and two pots but does not provide the new numbers or a full per-pot mapping.

Do not convert that sentence into an invented threshold table. Check the objective displayed by the installed build for the current requirement. Nuln Oil is also a weapon with its own Hourglass evolution, separate from the pot unlock counter.

Check progress without destroying it

Record the pot name, platform, version and objective text. Compare the counter before and after an intended attempt rather than assuming a missed unlock means the save must be deleted. If the condition appears met, preserve those details for the developer's feedback form.

Other platforms can differ briefly

The November 11 hotfix was released on Steam first. Its notes scheduled GOG, consoles and mobile fixes for the following week. A different counter on November 12 is therefore not enough by itself to diagnose a broken installation.

This guide does not claim a complete paint-pot catalog or every hidden form. The progression guide separates gold upgrades, weapon ranks and paint objectives so each result can be checked against the correct system.
