High-Capacity Drum
This mod increases the ammo capacity of the weapon, making it so that you don’t have to reload as often.

Leadwall
This mod increases the spread of the weapon, causing it to disperse its pellets over a larger area. It is ideal for attacking targets that are bunched up near each other.
This mod reduces the firing noise and muzzle flash of the weapon, making it ideal for taking your enemies by surprise.

Field Notes
Up close, nothing can compare to this weapon. Getting caught mid- to long-range with this weapon is asking to die. Best way to play with this weapon is to stay inside the buildings with the highest amounts of traffic and force the close-range battle.
The EVA-8 Shotgun is all about being close to the opponent. When engaged by enemy Pilots at medium or long range, don’t bother trying to fight back. Instead, retreat and look for a way to take the fight to close range. A great way to draw enemy Pilots to come to you is to shoot at minions, or even shoot randomly with your pistol, to give away your position on the minimap and bait them in. They will come around the corner and be surprised when you are waiting for them with the ultimate close-range weapon.
This weapon makes quick work of minions. However, be careful not to waste your entire magazine in case there are nearby enemy Pilots.
Leadwall or Suppressor are a must-have for this weapon. Even though you give up a little damage, you can still one-shot enemy Pilots while taking advantage of the stealth from the Suppressor or the increased spread of the Leadwall mod. If you find yourself running low on ammo, consider using the High-Capacity Drum, which adds three more rounds.
