Objectives and Unlock Progress

Quick Answer

Objectives guide character, weapon and item unlocks. Before a run, check the task’s universe, character and completion condition; permanent enhancements and platform achievements are separate systems.

Warhammer Survivors objectives turn a run into a specific unlock attempt. Read the condition before starting, select the correct universe and required equipment, then check the result after the run. A strong survival attempt does not automatically complete a task that asks for a different character or weapon.

Read the complete condition

Focus on three parts of an objective: what you must use, what you must do, and where it must happen. Character challenges can open new weapon choices, while rescues and other challenges expand the roster or available items.

Condition to checkWhy it matters
UniverseWarhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar have separate objectives and rosters
Named character or weaponProgress with another choice may not satisfy that task
Action or milestoneSurviving, developing a weapon and completing a rescue are different goals
Current completion stateAn unlocked option and a weapon equipped in a run are different things

Pick one main target for the run

  1. Find a task that opens something you intend to use.
  2. Choose the specified character, weapon or universe before entering the stage.
  3. Give relevant level-up choices priority when the task depends on developing that weapon.
  4. Complete the condition as written rather than substituting a similar action.
  5. Recheck the objective and the newly available option after the attempt.

Do not assume that an objective requires a victory unless its wording says so. Equally, do not assume a survival time, kill count or rescue step from a checklist made for a different version.

Separate unlocks from upgrades

Gold-funded enhancements improve future attempts. Objectives expand what you can choose or discover. Either can be useful progress, but buying an enhancement does not prove that an unrelated weapon challenge is complete.

Completing a character’s weapon challenge can make that weapon available to other characters. That is an especially useful target when you want to build around a weapon without always choosing its original champion.

Diagnose a task that appears stuck

Start with the selected universe and exact task wording. Then check whether you developed the required weapon rather than a similarly named one, and whether you are reading the current game’s condition. Demo checklists cover a smaller selection of content and should not be treated as a complete release checklist.
