Along with a few regular items, one EvoChrome weapon will be dropped from a chrome chest: the EvoChrome Shotgun or an EvoChrome Burst Rifle. These come out of chests in the uncommon rarity (green) and can be upgraded (or evolved) by the player. EvoChrome weapons can also be found as floor loot around the island.

To evolve/upgrade an EvoChrome weapon you must deal damage to an opponent (including Wolves or Herald) until the upgrade meter fills. This meter is found beneath where you see how much ammo you have.

When the meter is full you receive a prompt to press a button and ‘evolve‘ the EvoChrome weapon you are holding. They can be upgraded all the way to Legendary (gold), and each evolution takes more opponent damage to fill the meter.

That is everything you should know about these unique weapons! Next, check out what other weapons are in this new season. Good luck!
