How to Unlock Legend of Catachan in Warhammer Survivors

The Legend of Catachan is the Imperial Bastion stage champion in the Warhammer 40K section of Warhammer Survivors, who starts with Frag Grenade as his base weapon. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to unlock Legend of Catachan in the game, including his weapon evolution.

Obtain the Signum Array Relic

You need to rescue Legend of Catachan during your run on Imperial Bastion, which is the first 40K stage, where any available 40K champion will work, such as Malum Caedo, who is unlocked from the very start. Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski is also a rescue on the same map, which is another good choice once you have him.

Although you don’t need the Signum Array relic to rescue Catachan, it greatly simplifies finding his location on the map, since this relic reveals hidden map markers on all 40K stages. Before trying to find the relic, be sure to get the Auspex on Desert Wasteland by unlocking ‘Eavy Metal mod on any stage. Once you’re all set, here’s how to find the Signum Array relic:

1. Progress far enough to unlock Gallowdark.
2. Reach level 40 on Gallowdark to unlock the Ork Stronghold stage.
3. Pause the game and open the map tab.
4. Look in the bottom-right corner of the map for a green question mark, which indicates the Signum Array location.
5. Head southeast until you reach it and pick it up.

Rescue the Legend of Catachan

Once you have the Signum Array relic, return to mission select and choose Imperial Bastion. Note that this trek takes time, and the guards here are stronger than your typical enemies. For example, Tyranid Warriors have strong aura effects, so going too early makes these fights much harder. That’s why it’s recommended to enable the ’Eavy Metal modifier, which increases movement speed, albeit for both you and enemies, but it significantly shortens the travel time.

1. Open the map, and due to the Signum Array, you’ll see a new question mark in the northeast area of the map.
2. This marks the Legend of Catachan’s location, so travel northeast toward that marker.
3. Clear out all the enemies surrounding him and walk up to him.
4. He will thank you for the rescue and join you as a follower for the rest of the run.

You can now end the run, since the rescue fulfills the “Find and rescue the character on Imperial Bastion” objective. Follow these steps to purchase the Legend of Catachan:

1. Go to the character select screen.
2. You can unlock the Legend of Catachan.
3. Purchase him, and he becomes permanently playable in your roster.

This champion moves really fast and relies on explosives, expanding into other weapons, such as a modified Ripper Pistol, when you combine the Bandolier relic with Frag Grenade. His passive ability applies the Battleshocked status effect to nearby enemies when his health reaches critically low levels. He also finds more explosives during runs.
