— In-Game Description

EvoChrome Shotgun is a Shotgun in Fortnite: Battle Royale that 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.

Strategy Guide

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• The EvoChrome Shotgun can be upgraded by hunting wildlife. Boars, Chickens, and Wolves are usually best for this.
• The EvoChrome Shotgun is an excellent weapon for beginners. It has a high fire rate, a wide pellet spread, and deals high damage at very close ranges.
• 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.
• Always keep the EvoChrome Shotgun topped up on ammo. This weapon will use a surprising amount while you fight opponents, wildlife, and NPCs to upgrade it.

Counters

• Due to its horizontal pellet spread, keeping yourself outside of close range in an engagement with an opponent wielding an EvoChrome Shotgun can be very advantageous.
