Survivor.io has become increasingly popular recently, drawing in tons of new players every week. One of the game’s unique aspects is your ability to upgrade weapons and components for added skills in the middle of the battle. These powers are attainable when you earn 5 stars in one weapon alongside at least one star in another specific component. By researching Survivor.io’s top ten upgrades, you will learn which ones stand out above others and how they can be unlocked through your gameplay. It’s important to note that unlocking all these evolution moves during play won’t happen. Only a few of the options that exist in the game will present themselves to be chosen throughout that specific match. It is crucial then to choose wisely so let us explore further what some of them have to offer! Here are our favorite ten evolutions!

The Top Ten List That You’ve Been Waiting For!

  • Death Ray: This laser can take out enemies quickly and efficiently, making it a great choice in a pinch.
  • Demon Blade: The Demon Blade is a close-combat weapon that’s very effective when you don’t have a lot of room to breathe.
  • Sharkmaw Gun: This gun shoots explosive rounds, and it’s perfect for taking out large groups of enemies in one shot!
  • Defender: The Defender is a strong defensive shield…go figure! It is powerful because it can protect you from most incoming attacks.
  • Pressure Forcefield: This other type of forcefield can protect you from enemy attacks while also pushing enemies away, making it great for tight situations when you are being swarmed by hostiles.
  • Thunderbolt Power Cell: This powerful energy cell can increase your attacks and give you an edge in combat, since you will be able to deal more damage to devastate your foes.
  • Magnetic Dart: The Magnetic Dart is a versatile weapon however it’s mainly used to attack enemies from a long distance. Therefore, make use of this power by sniping enemies from afar.
  • Caltrops: These sharp spikes can be placed on the ground to slow down and damage enemies as they walk on them. Great for when you need to make a hasty retreat and put some distance between yourself and your adversaries.
  • Whistling Arrow: The Whistling Arrow can be used to distract enemies or to hit them from a distance, similar to the Magnetic Dart. Honestly, we wish that this Whistling Arrow was like the one from Guardians of the Galaxy, but you can’t have everything!
  • Fuel Barrel: This Evolution grants you an object that can be thrown at enemies to create a large explosion, making it good for taking out large groups of enemies at once. Area of Effect damage is key to getting out of a tight spot in this game, making the Fuel Barrel a strong choice to have in your toolbox!

Why Are Evolutions So Important to Use?

Evolutions are basically free powerups in the game that you can use whenever you want (or are passively always active in the game). This means that they can greatly improve your performance when you play, and will help you out constantly without you needing to worry about using them up. We recommend that you pick Evolutions which are able to take out enemies, as these should help when you are feeling a bit overwhelmed. Stay safe out there in battle, and good luck!
