Vampire Survivors is a survival rougelike game with unique pixel graphics. The game quickly became loved for its thrilling gameplay that required players to survive for 30 minutes while fighting tons of monsters and aggressive bosses.
In Vampire Survivors, players can collect a variety of weapons and upgrade them to increase their strength against hordes of enemies. Weapon evolution is the most prestigious way to deal with the ever-evolving hordes of terrifying creatures that try to surround the player.
However, Vampire Survivors does not instruct, but players must learn how to upgrade weapons themselves. In this article, let’s learn about the evolved weapons, the items that need to be combined with them in Vampire Survivors to achieve the top powerful arsenal.
Instructions to upgrade all evolved weapons in Vampire Survivors
Requirements for weapon evolution in Vampire Survivors
In the new case of this roguelite horror game, keep in mind that every time you level up by picking up XP gems from defeated enemies, everyone will have a passive choice of weapon and upgradeable items.
Each time you level up in Vampire Survivors, the player will be able to choose a random weapon or upgrade item to add to their character. Each run can accumulate up to 6 weapons and 6 upgrade items.
By choosing the same weapon or item on the next level up, the player can upgrade them to a higher level, change their function, or increase their stats. Each weapon can be upgraded 8 times and item can be upgraded 5 times.
However, players still have some work to do before combining corresponding weapons and items to make them stronger:
- Upgrade the weapon you want to evolve to level 8.
- Pick up the item to combine with it on the map or through the levels (no need to upgrade the item).
- Pick up a chest dropped from the boss while carrying a level 8 weapon and its combo item.
Note that chests will not normally drop evolved weapons until the player survives 10 minutes, even if all other requirements are met.
In addition, after each update, Vampire Survivors often add some new items and weapons for players to upgrade, enriching their evolutionary arsenal.
