Vampire Survivors offers a variety of unique and engaging mechanics, such as its weapon evolution system, which keep players hooked in its action gameplay loop. To create a powerful evolved weapon, players must combine a specific weapon and accessory.

However, before performing a weapon evolution in Vampire Survivors, you need to fulfill three vital prerequisites. Once these three conditions have been met, Vampire Survivors can evolve their weaponry.

  • Reach Level 8 with the weapon you want to evolve. (This process requires that you use the weapon during the playthrough.)
  • Find the correct Accessory necessary for the evolution to occur.
  • Open a chest after the timer reaches the 10-minute mark during a run.
