Functionality
Functionality[]
The EvoChrome Burst Rifle is a low damage, burst fired assault rifle. When players deal damage to opponents or wildlife, the EvoChrome Burst Rifle will slowly build up a meter. When the meter's threshold is reached, reloading the weapon will evolve it to the next rarity, up to Mythic. Each evolution increases the number of shots per burst, capping at four rounds in Epic and above rarities. The EvoChrome Burst Rifle cannot be evolved if the user does not have enough ammo to reload it.
The EvoChrome Burst Rifle is a Hitscan weapon with First Shot Accuracy enabled.

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle can be upgraded by hunting wildlife. Boars, Chickens, and Wolves are usually best for this.
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle deals increased damage to structures, making it a powerful weapon for removing an opponent's cover.
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle has poor accuracy after three or four bursts. At longer ranges, allow the accuracy to reset after two or three bursts to get the most out of this weapon.
- The hip-firing accuracy of the EvoChrome Burst Rifle is good, making it a solid replacement for an SMG in a pinch.
- Do not challenge players wielding Sniper Rifles, as they can instantly eliminate the player with a single well-placed shot while attempting to whittle away at their health one burst at a time. Instead, close the gap between the enemy by placing some structures to get within a range where sniping isn't nearly as practical.
- At long range, the EvoChrome Burst Rifle will usually miss its second, third, and fourth rounds in its bursts. Stick to close and medium ranges for its best accuracy.
- When using the three or four-round burst versions, you can get an opponent's structure to very low HP before firing the EvoChrome Burst Rifle. If you're accurate, the first and second shots will destroy the structure while the third or fourth will pierce through and hit the opponent, even while turbo-building.
- As the EvoChrome Burst Rifle fires in bursts, it can be advantageous at long ranges to peak, fire a burst, and then hide once more while you wait for this weapon to be ready to fire again.
Counters[]
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle has a very fast fire rate for a burst weapon. However, this means that an opponent wielding it at long range will have to tap-fire in order to take full advantage of each burst. Take advantage of this by using a more suitable weapon such as an Assault Rifle equipped with a red-dot sight or a DMR.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle is unique in that it is the only weapon to deal less damage per shot as its rarity increases. This is because the weapon fires in quicker bursts, with its overall DPS increasing regardless.
- The EvoChrome Burst Rifle becomes more and more visually Chrome as the weapon evolves, but only when the burst amount changes.
- Bots spawned from a Decoy can charge an EvoChrome Burst Rifle, with the same rate as damaging a player.
- After the rework of the Burst Assault Rifle, The Rare EvoChrome Burst Rifle was the only weapon in the game to have a 3-round burst up until Chapter 4: Season OG where the Burst Assault Rifle was temporarily reverted back to its 3-round burst version.
