In addition to higher stats, evolved weapons often come with unique effects compared to their base version. Read on for details of every evolved and united weapon form in Vampire Survivors and how to create them. On this page:

The majority of customised weapon forms in Vampire Survivors are created by combining a base weapon and a passive item. The full list of weapon evolutions in Vampire Survivors is as follows:

In a couple of rare instances, instead of creating a weapon evolution, you can instead create a weapon union. This is very similar to weapon evolution, but involves combining two base weapons together (with or without a passive item as well) in order to create the new weapon form. The full list of weapon unions in Vampire Survivors is as follows:
How to evolve weapons in Vampire Survivors
Before you can evolve a weapon in Vampire Survivors, you need to have upgraded the base weapon to Level 8, which is the game’s max weapon level. In the case of weapon unions, both base weapons need to have been upgraded to Level 8 before the union can take place. With all of the required crafting ingredients in your inventory, you then need to collect a Treasure Chest. These are generally dropped by bosses who spawned 10 minutes or more into a stage, although in some rare cases it’s possible to collect one earlier. Any Treasure chest dropped after this point except one containing an Arcana should be able to evolve a weapon. Upon collecting a Treasure Chest, if you have all the crafting ingredients required for a weapon evolution in your inventory, the evolution will occur automatically. The evolved weapon will replace the base weapon in your inventory, but the passive item will remain untouched. In the case of weapon unions, both base weapons will be removed and replaced with the single united weapon, freeing up a weapon slot. The evolved/united weapon will replace the first reward drop from that Treasure Chest. Under almost all circumstances, only one evolved weapon can be generated per Treasure Chest. However, this isn’t a hard rule, and some specific Treasure Chests may in certain conditions be able to generate up to five evolved weapons.
