Warhammer Survivors Chainsword Evolution: Tape Measure Pairing

Chainsword uses Tape Measure to evolve into Eviscerator Chainsword. The November release table specifies level 8 for the base Chainsword and marks the original weapon as replaced by the evolved form.

Set up the evolution

Choose the base Chainsword, raise its weapon level, and hold Tape Measure before collecting a chest with an evolution reward. The pairing is documented in the original October demo recipe post and corroborated by the Japanese November 11 table. Those sources agree on the item names; the exact level number comes from the separately inspected release table.

Use Malum's starting attack deliberately

The developer describes Malum Caedo's Chainsword as a horizontal attack capable of hitting several enemies. Positioning enemies within that attack path is a reasonable tactical choice. It does not make him invulnerable from behind, and no exact reach or damage multiplier is claimed here.

If another champion takes the weapon, keyword compatibility determines whether that champion attacks or a follower does. A second character appearing is part of the squad system, not online co-op.

Diagnose a missing result

Check for Tape Measure in the actual inventory and level 8 on the weapon, not the champion. Keep a record of the chest reward if it still fails. An undated May-demo guide may describe a different inventory from the released game. Compare the evolution reference before changing your whole build around an obsolete requirement.
