- — In-Game Description
EvoChrome Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 3: Season 4.
Functionality[]
The EvoChrome Shotgun has a large horizontal spread, and no vertical spread. When players deal damage to opponents or wildlife, the EvoChrome Shotgun can evolve when the player reaches the threshold. Pressing reload will reload the weapon and evolve it to the next rarity. The highest rarity it can evolve to is Mythic. Each evolution increases the weapons stats, and decreases the spread of the weapon. Players cannot evolve the weapon without enough ammo to reload it.
Stats[]
EvoChrome Shotgun ranges from dealing 86 damage per shot to 105 damage per shot (129 damage per second to 157). EvoChrome Shotguns use Shells and have a headshot multiplier of 1.75x. The EvoChrome Shotgun reloads one shell at a time. There is a maximum damage cap of 135 on all rarities.

Strategy Guide[]

- The EvoChrome Shotgun is an excellent weapon in Zero Build playlists due to its fast damage output.
- The EvoChrome Shotgun's wide pellet spread and solid range make it an excellent tool for checking bushes for opponents.
- The EvoChrome Shotgun is not suited for build fights. It takes longer to equip than most other shotguns, and its wide pellet spread prevents it from dealing solid damage around tight angles.
