Apex Legends: 10 Best Weapons - Ranked

2. EVA-8 Auto

The majority of players would rank the Peacekeeper higher than the EVA-8 Auto, but from a pure usability perspective, the latter fixes the single biggest issue with the former.

As the name implies, the EVA-8 Auto is a full-auto shotgun, meaning that the Peacekeeper's often fatal wait between shots simply isn't an issue here. The EVA-8 has a higher magazine size too, meaning that you can deal consistently high damage to an enemy for a longer amount of time before reloading.

True, the Peacekeeper's damage-per-shot is higher, but for every one shot that gun fires, the EVA-8 can let off two. There are countless other factors that can affect this, but chances are, you'll end up dealing more damage per encounter with the EVA-8, especially when the enemy starts dancing around: in that case, it's easier to land shots with a full-auto than it is with a semi-auto.

Overall, you can't go wrong with either shotgun, but the EVA-8 just wins out because of its more rapid fire rate.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
