Find the weapon and companion
These are October-demo community reports from Unknown Traveller's 7 October Steam table. The full game is now available. These older rows remain identified by their original evidence date. Nuln Oil appears in both universe lists, producing 12 entries but 11 unique recipes. Original October recipe table ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Launch additions checked 11 November. The additional 25 rows come from Arka Sarkar’s 10 November launch recipe report ↗ (opens in a new tab). These are reported recipes, rather than our playtest. The source reverses the Age of Sigmar column labels. We normalize those rows to weapon → companion → result and retain the earlier Tempest Axes pairing. Nuln Oil and D6 Dice are listed once each as Both. Confirm the entry against your current Armoury when a name differs.

From holding the pair to trying the evolution
- Match the weapon and companion in your current run to the relevant row.
- Check the weapon's upgrade state. In the October discussion, Bastion reports that the weapon must be at its maximum.
- Then open a Boss chest, following that player's reported sequence.
- For Frag Grenade, check Bandolier specifically. bdhaskell separately reports a maxed Bandolier for that pairing.
These trigger conditions are player reports. Their replies do not give universal numeric levels or chest timing, and the Bandolier observation does not establish a maximum-passive requirement for every recipe. Keep the displayed weapon and passive states in a screenshot if your attempt fails. Bastion and bdhaskell evolution reports ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Three older pairings to recheck
The early replies in the same discussion contain older combinations. October replies change Whirlwind Battery to Liquid Green Stuff, Sea Fog to Bugman's Tankard, and the Age of Sigmar pistol pairing to Dice Cube. A guide that gives Tape Measure for Whirlwind Battery or Glue for Sea Fog may describe the older demo. Compare the post date and the item you actually see. Older list and October corrections ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Dice Cube appears next to Boltstorm Pistol in Age of Sigmar and Boltgun in 40K. Liquid Green Stuff appears next to Brazier Staff and Whirlwind Battery respectively. Use the universe filter before treating those as choices available together in one run.
Start with your weapon’s unlock and companion
- Chainsword → Eviscerator Chainsword uses Tape Measure. The launch item guide reports surviving one minute in a 40K run as the Tape Measure unlock.
- Lasgun → Meltagun uses Gauntlet. Unlock Kozlowski and Lasgun before planning that weapon’s run.
- Boltgun → Heavy Bolter uses Dice Cube. Check the Dice Cube objective.
- Whirlwind Battery → Orbital Bombardment uses Liquid Green Stuff.
- Frag Grenade → Ripper Pistol uses Bandolier. The launch item report gives Boltgun level 4 as Bandolier’s unlock condition. This is separate from upgrading Bandolier during the evolution attempt.
Unlock conditions are from Destructoid’s launch item report ↗ (opens in a new tab). The table above supplies recipe names. Complete the selected weapon’s upgrade sequence before trying the reported chest trigger.
A missing passive is a different next step
If the companion never appears in your choices, first inspect the game's Objectives and Armoury for your selected universe. One player in the recipe thread reported repeatedly surviving while Bandolier stayed locked. The reply proposing a Boltgun level requirement explicitly could not name the level, so it does not supply an exact unlock instruction. Bandolier availability discussion ↗ (opens in a new tab)
If both items are present, use the reported upgrade and chest checks above. If one is unavailable, record the locked objective and its wording. This separates an unlock question from an evolution trigger question.
