The TAQ Evolvere, an LMG introduced in Season One Reloaded, has struggled to find its place in Warzone. However, recent buffs have finally made this weapon worth considering.
Raven Software made significant improvements to the TAQ Evolvere in Season Two. They increased its maximum and minimum damage and added new near-to-mid damage and range values. These changes were aimed at ensuring that the weapon remains effective in longer-ranged gunfights. Despite these efforts, the LMG's status did not improve significantly.
To address this, the developers released a minor update on February 13th, which included powerful buffs for the TAQ Evolvere. The movement speed of the weapon was increased from 4.4 meters per second to 5.1, while the fire rate was reduced to 500rpm. Although the fire rate nerf may seem like a disadvantage, it was offset by a buff to the 556 Belts Magazine. This magazine now has increased speed, ADS time, move speed benefits, and a rate of fire benefit at 857rpm.
Even without the 556 Belts Magazine, the TAQ Evolvere is a force to be reckoned with. According to data from TrueGameData, this LMG excels in engagements shorter than 50 meters and has an impressive time-to-kill speed of 679ms from 49 meters out. In comparison, other top metagame guns like the Holger 26 and the RAM-7 have slower time-to-kill speeds at that range.
Recoil is not a concern with the TAQ Evolvere, making it even easier to build a loadout. The recommended loadout for the TAQ Evolvere in Warzone Season Two includes the VT-7 Spitfire Suppressor, Corio Eagleseye 2.5x Optic, Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip, 7.62x51mm High Grain Ammunition, and SA Kilonova Stock. This loadout focuses on improving bullet velocity and damage range, while also reducing visual recoil.
With the recent buffs and its dominating performance in close to mid-range engagements, the TAQ Evolvere is becoming a popular choice among Warzone players. If you're looking for a powerful LMG for Season Two, give the TAQ Evolvere a try!
