Apart from the armaments that are unique to the playable Champions, you will be able to unlock a total of 20 weapons in League of Legends’ latest Swarm game mode. Each of these weapons plays very differently from one another and there will be a fair bit of combat versatility that you will be able to enjoy.
Additionally, apart from having different movesets, the weapons have different evolution requirements as well. Evolved weapons are much more potent than their base versions and will help you have a much easier time in Swarm’s higher difficulties.
Here is a list of all the weapons that you will get your hands on in League of Legends Swarm and the Passive requirements for their evolution.

It’s only when you meet the necessary requirements will you be able to unlock the different weapons.
When it comes to evolving the weapons you will first need to take them to Level 5 and then match it with the required Passive. Once you have paired it with the correct passive, there will be a small icon at the bottom of the card which will let you know that a weapon is eligible for evolution.
Once the conditions are met, the next thing that you will be required to do is to kill an Elite enemy. Elites will drop an Access Card once you take them out. These cards are required to evolve the weapons in Swarm.
Additionally, you can always press TAB to check which Weapon evolves with which Passive if you tend to forget the requirements.
