Warhammer Survivors: How to Get 5 Followers Fast

You need to get 5 followers in Warhammer Survivors to complete the related objective and unlock the Figure Case passive, which requires you to collect five different follower weapons. Note that the Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and Lasgun leveling method doesn’t work, as the game counts his followers as one. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to actually get 5 followers fast in the game.

Fastest Method to Get 5 Followers

The actual fastest and most reliable way to hit 5 followers is to combine map rescues with exclusive character weapons during a single Warhammer 40K run, rather than relying on the Lasgun trick, which will add only one more follower even if you level up Lasgun. Here’s what you need to do instead:

1. Rescue 5 different characters on stages by looking for green question marks on the map.
2. You can rescue Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and The Legend of Catachan (Imperial Bastion), K9 Mastiff (Gallowdark), Commissar Sebastian Yarrick (Ork Stronghold), and Saint Celestine (Imperial Shipyard).
3. Unlock their signature weapons by playing as each of these characters for at least 5 minutes, so their exclusive weapon unlocks for other characters’ runs, too.

Note that if you leave one rescue character untouched on a stage, rescuing them during your 5-follower run will immediately add another follower to your squad without using a weapon slot. But rven if you have already unlocked a rescue character previously, they still spawn on their respective stage in subsequent runs and can be rescued again to join your squad as an extra follower.

How to Run the 5-Follower Attempt

Before the game confirms that you have 5 followers, you must first make sure that your Objectives menu verifies an earlier “Have 2 Followers” challenge as already completed. Only in this case is there any point in the 5-follower attempt. Follow these steps:

1. Start as a character with few weapon overlaps.
2. Play as Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski or Malum Caedo.
3. Pick up 5 distinct follower weapons or 4 plus 1 map rescue, as mentioned above.
4. On the level-up screen, look for weapons displaying a character portrait icon next to them, as this guarantees a follower will join when you select it.
5. Exclusive options include Power Klaw (Yarrick), Ardent Blade (Celestine), Mechanical Bite (K9 Mastiff), Battle Cannon (Pask), and Shield of Faith (Amalia).
6. Watch your pick order and always draft non-exclusive weapons first.

For example, Yarrick can use both the Lasgun and Power Klaw. If you pick Power Klaw first, Yarrick joins, but picking Lasgun afterward will equip it to Yarrick instead of summoning a separate Trooper. So pick Lasgun first, then Power Klaw second, to get both followers.
