Great vid. IMO, the EVA-8 just doesn't doesn't cut it in a game with large maps and mechs. If Respawn releases smaller maps in DLC, then it will be a force to reckon with. Until then, you're better off with the machine guns.
most of the maps in TF are Close quarter the maps are not extremely small but they have a lot of houses and small streets you just have to see and use the right territory with that gun
I know this is a really old comment... But this is probably the worst shotgun I've ever used :/ CS:GO's shotguns, with exception to the sawed off, have better range than this thing. Hell, most of the shotguns I've used in COD games have better range, where's this "WOW! a shotgun that does not have bullets that vanish on a space time vortex when they travel 10 centimeters?" thing coming from?
I wish they just had shotguns with accurate real life range or realistic slug attachments but that would just be overpowered. as hickok45 the firearms youtuber says "when your using a shotgun your really using a rifle" but more powerful usually
@@keepermovin5906 Not quite. The purpose of buckshot isn't so much to allow you to have slightly imperfect aim (this is what birdshot is for, shooting pellets where the cloud is larger than the target) but instead just for each round to be equivalent to a pistol mag dump. The idea is that more rounds = higher chance of a vital hit. With both humans and deer, only one pellet is truly needed to kill. It just has to hit the right spot.
Something that has always bothered me with this gun, from TF1 all the way to Apex, is the mag. That should be a 25 round drum. If you want 6-8 rounds, make it a box mag, not a drum
I think you should have mentioned something about picking up weapons from minions as they are usually long-range weapons that will be able to counter the EVA-8's short range. However, great video, as always.
I love your tech-commentary on the guns and such, especially with the Smart Pistol. You're probably running my favorite guides on Titanfall weapons at the moment. Subbed and keep up the good work! :D
Nicholas Pine the only problem I see with that is that the weapons in Titanfall 1 all have a very designated role and can be presented in a serious tone while convincing people the firearm is a prime choice. This could prove difficult when discussing the laser weaponry such as the L-Star where other firearms logically do the job better
Also, SMGS ARE NUTS. The CAR is still powerful AF. Balanced RPM, moderate recoil, minimum bullet spread. Partnered with mods like Gunrunner and Quick Reload + HCOG, you have yourself a run and gun machine that will make most pilots tilt.
For future episodes, I'd like to see you cover the differences between the amped and regular variant of the weapons. You did touch on it briefly, but I'd like to know the exact numbers like you give for the regular version. Unless you plan on covering those in a later episode...
RazorPhoenix7 ADSing lowers the aim sensitivity thus allowing you to place the center of your shot dead on the chest with less chance of overshooting it and missing pellets. not much use overall, but a boon on consoles with there thumbsticks.
Great video, I was lucky enough to end up in a lobby with you Thursday two 8 days ago, was a real pleasure and rather exciting playing with a big youtuber.....even with being beaten by your team.
This weapon is tied with the CAR SMG as the undisputed best weapons in the game. With it's giant spread as well as with a kit like cloak, it's pretty much cheating at the game when you point the gun in the general direction of an enemy and then kill him in a maximum of two shots. The fact that both weapons are absolutely lethal at hipfiring and that Titanfall is primarily a close quarters game makes them the best two weapons, due to the fact that you can put rounds into your target without sacrificing the ability to evade shots.
Hey Stu, you spoke of a Battlefield 4 weapon guide, what are your plans on that? And by the way, why did u stop doing playthroughs, I enjoyed them and thought they were a cool break from the weapon guides.
The next weapon will be interesting, seeing how much the Smart Pistol is getting a lot of hate, despite the fact it is not as good as many people think.
Titanfall is an amazinf game and these videos make the game even more awesome! Respawn should give you your own page on the Titanfall website so people can find them easily!
Does anyone else hear "eve-er" when he says EVA? I'm imagining things... anyway, great video Stu, nothing like your weapon guides to make me want to drop what im doing and go have a round with the weapon in question :)
Stu, do you think the minion mechanism in Titanfall weakened the gameplay? I've play the beta only, but the fact that those minions serve nothing more than cannon fodders and the pilots being not much harder to take down weakened the competitive component.
I think it's alright. Pilots are supposed to be these ultra-highly trained special forces. In games like CoD, when it's, say SAS vs Spetsnaz, you don't really feel like a spec ops soldier. But with all the weak grunts running around, and the slightly tougher Spectres, it does give a feeling of being this highly-trained operative, since you can go through dozens of them without breaking a sweat. Other Pilots are a challenge though, which actually helps the feeling, since the only match for a Pilot, is another Pilot. Of course, this makes it all the more humiliating when you get kicked to death by a grunt.
Hey, can you do a series on the Titanfall 2 weapons? They're different than in Titanfall 1. Example: The EVA-8 is an auto-shotgun and fires about 3 shells per second. Oh yeah, 8-shell mags too and 10-shell extended.
Hey Stu, what's your opinion of Forza Horizon, personally my favourite open world driving game, with lots of cars, large(ish) map and heavy (if slightly arcadey) steering.
The most OP weapon on pc, when having a bad game I will switch to the ev8, Satchel kit to wrack up pilot kills, on 8th Gen now. Its an unstoppable monster in a game with many quick ways to close even the farthest gaps, much better than even the carbine, if you aim isnt terrible. people who complain about large maps or the EV8 are either terrible at parkour to close gaps in seconds or are using lolanolog sticks on console.
Interesting how the drum magazine on that thing is huge, but it only holds 6 shells. The AA-12 has a 32 rounds drum mag, but is the same size approximately. .
Aymen Salih If that were the case, then the EVA-8 would have to fire something crazy like the Seoulkraft 8 Gauge shotgun shells fired from the M90 in the Halo series.
GunFuMaster I think the drum is just an esthetic to make the gun look nice and to simplify the reloading. Since the developers were so hard headed on making the game balanced it makes the eva-8 easier to use since manual reload like a regular shotgun would take way more time. There are only 6-9 rounds because 32 would make it unstoppable.
Hey stu if there are any dlc weapons for Titan fall will you cover them I don't play the game so I don't wan you to and why do you think that Titan fall isint a game that people like watching
stu if you do any bonus footage could you tell me if you have tried heady topper it is a Vermont beer which my father is quiet fond of i myself am to young to drink thank you
Stu does it not frustrate you that you get less views than some other video game based youtube channels, even though you probably put 10x the effort into each of your videos?
Kind of sad it's been so long since MW2 for a modern FPS to have a shotgun with range beyond sneezing distance. The shotguns in BO2 were meh, and literally a joke in Ghosts, including in campaign.
6 rounds seems like a very low capacity for a far future 12 gauge shotgun even compared to today's standards. Would you think it was made so to keep game balence?
yes. its also the reason why shotguns suck in every game thats not half life 2 or halo 1. "Balance". a realistically depicted shotgun in those new games with regen health would be complete rape. (Real shotguns loaded with 12 GA 00 buck can kill a human reliably within 50 yards)
***** the EVA 8 is not a Vehicle-size appropriate shotgun. it has a drum mag that should hold 20 shells, a long barrel, a pronounced barrel shroud, and a full (tho to be fair, collapsing) stock.
I'm more confused as to why they're still using buckshot in THE AGE OF SPACE TRAVEL AND GIANT MECHS. You'd think we'd be using electromagnetic coilguns and high-velocity flechettes or something.
Yep in concept art it's have 32 round if i remember it correctly Sometime during development they realise that it's the only shotgun in game and it's too op So they just reduce capacity And didn't mess with model just left it as same as the first design
I love how you can tell this was one of his first Titanfall weapon videos and how much better his movement is in the later videos
Holy fucking shit. This is like Discovery Channel for Titanfall. It's brilliant.
***** ...Is your avatar a Kavinsky reference?
Great vid. IMO, the EVA-8 just doesn't doesn't cut it in a game with large maps and mechs. If Respawn releases smaller maps in DLC, then it will be a force to reckon with. Until then, you're better off with the machine guns.
you said doesn't twice
I like how you're so accustomed to new things coming as DLC. What if they did it without for you having to pay for it? Wouldn't that be cool?
funny to see you here
Disagree completely. The EVA is a monster, if you are highly mobile.
most of the maps in TF are Close quarter the maps are not extremely small but they have a lot of houses and small streets you just have to see and use the right territory with that gun
WOW! a shotgun that does not have bullets that vanish on a space time vortex when they travel 10 centimeters? unbelievable.
instead, they vanish after 20 centimeters! technology sure has come a long way hasn't it?
Shotguns don't fire bullets...
They fire pellets
I know this is a really old comment...
But this is probably the worst shotgun I've ever used :/

you should do titanfall 2 weapons

Wait, you DIED during the video?! You're not an immortal pilot-killing machine?!?!
This video still looks incredible 10 years later, and it makes me want to try the original Titanfall. Shame that it's more difficult nowadays.
With great power comes...wait WHAT? EXTREMELY LIMITED RANGE? I thought it was great responsibility. So did Spidey lied to me?
For future episodes, I'd like to see you cover the differences between the amped and regular variant of the weapons. You did touch on it briefly, but I'd like to know the exact numbers like you give for the regular version.

ADSing does not change the spread of the pellets at all, if you check symthic. It is the same when hipfiring.
he said that in the video dude.
feckafeck1 Right, but I'm not sure why he still ADS in some of the clips though lol. Dat reduced mobility when ADSing.
RazorPhoenix7 ADSing lowers the aim sensitivity thus allowing you to place the center of your shot dead on the chest with less chance of overshooting it and missing pellets. not much use overall, but a boon on consoles with there thumbsticks.
JSHADOWM Ah, didn't think about the lowered sensitivity, you're right on the money there.
Beatiful Art Design. Xbox Ahoy is top notch on video editing

This makes me want to play with the EVA-8 again...which makes me glad I got the weapon challenges out of the way...for now!
He makes things that are actualy pretty boring so fucking interesting
And the finishing sentence always sends a chill down my spine
Wow Stu, you have improved soo much since your MW2 Guides it's insane :D Pls keep your work up!
Greetings
Nico
I watched your whole playlist of titanfall 1 weapons i learned alot
This weapon is tied with the CAR SMG as the undisputed best weapons in the game. With it's giant spread as well as with a kit like cloak, it's pretty much cheating at the game when you point the gun in the general direction of an enemy and then kill him in a maximum of two shots.

Dude these series are soo well done man you deserve so much more subs you out alot of effort :D Great video as always :)
I like the endings of the videos. Always ends saying something with a 'punch'.
Holy fuck the music that kicks in at around 9min got me so god damn pumped for this!

Another awesome vid, and the intro is definitely the best part.
Since the maps are so big in this, I feel like this needs a slight buff: maybe add an additional pellet to its shots?
Does anyone else hear "eve-er" when he says EVA? I'm imagining things... anyway, great video Stu, nothing like your weapon guides to make me want to drop what im doing and go have a round with the weapon in question :)
Hey Stu, with what do you render your videos with? The quality with your videos is outstanding.
5:47 he did a dab.
Something ive come to realize
How do you fit just 6 12 gauge rounds into a drum that big?-
Or am i missing something?
Probably just dev choice to kinda limit the gun
If there was a award for best voice review, you got it! Great review with awsome voice, keep it up. although I'm not playing titanfall. take care
The script is fantastic Stu!
Another very well done video Stu, keep it up.
I'm usually using faster reloads, but that's just me. Good video as always.
And again a nice weapon guide. You are awesome stu
Loving these Titanfall videos!
For the pun I honestly was expecting him so say something like "In close quarters, there's no doubt....
this is the best weapon EVA."
Damn, I can't even play this game, but this was fantastic.
I know right :D
Interesting to watch after the release of AL
Stu, do you think the minion mechanism in Titanfall weakened the gameplay? I've play the beta only, but the fact that those minions serve nothing more than cannon fodders and the pilots being not much harder to take down weakened the competitive component.

Someone give this man a cookie.
It's amazing how important it is for people to get a comment as the first ones on a video...
Hey Stu, what's your opinion of Forza Horizon, personally my favourite open world driving game, with lots of cars, large(ish) map and heavy (if slightly arcadey) steering.
Who else thinks this guy would like the EVA 8 auto?
Stu, have you watched the new Wolfenstein New Order trailer? Whats your impression on it, and will you buy it or not?
KSG? Remington was fairly good, and the stake out and model 1887 had good range
Holy shit! You would be a great voice actor for Jaxendale's Titanfall Legends machinima!
become a voice actor man. Your voice would be so suitable for so many things
He's trying, that's half the reason he is doing videos. Watch the bonus series on his other channel, he mentions these things.
"Pun of the video" award goes to: "Stu" with his incredible wordplay: "With great power, comes extremely limited effective range"
That isn't a pun
it's and it referres to the 1st Spiderman movie... It's a great one you should go see it.
One of my favorite weapons. I hope we get more shotguns later on.

What do you think about the batman superman movie coming out in 2016?
Albert Xiao I’m from four years in the future and it sucked.
You are still so underrated
Used it for Gen 2 requirements, was alright didn't enjoy it too much though.
ah yes, the EVA. the only weapon worth using since everything moves like their on crack
i have used most of the wepons in the game and all of them have place in the game but the smart pistol is has a less of place in the game
that EVA-8 is my favorite now
Good video. Loved the effects!
I wish titanfall had a rich and better lore
I don't get one thing, though: Why a 6-round drum? It looks like there's space to fit 10 or even 20 in that giant drum. Eh, gameplay mechanics.
Hey Stu, is it more appropriate to call your accent (or just anyone's accent from the UK in general) an English accent or a British accent?
how does it have a big ass drum mag and still only hold 6 shots? It even fires 12 gauge you could fit about 15 shots with modern drum mags that size.
Video game logic.
special 12 gauges? God knows why it only holds 6 shots...
I dont think its a 12.. If anything, it might be an 8... Reckon its name "EVA 8"
ever heard of... game balance?
They made the models. If they wanted it to have 6 shots why didnt they give it a more standard box mag?
Stu, how do you feel about the "bad guys" in Titanfall (the IMC) having a stereotypical British accent?
The IMC had Irish, Welsh, New Zealander, and South african accents. Very few of them were English
man shotguns in the future still use 12g 00, just shows you how op multiple bullets launched at once is
Future variant of the armsel striker
Ah Stu, you and your deep and manly voice. You should do voiceover for documentaries.
It's so terrible what happened to this game, what's even sadder is that Respawn doesn't care about TF1 :(((
Another quote "Blast from the past"
I cant wait to get this game. Its so amazing
In call of ghosts can you do a weapon guide of the rpper.
Interesting how the drum magazine on that thing is huge, but it only holds 6 shells. The AA-12 has a 32 rounds drum mag, but is the same size approximately. .
I think it's due to the size of rounds/buckshots?
Aymen Salih its loaded with 12 GA 00 Buck. the AA-12 holds 32 of those in its drum.
Aymen Salih If that were the case, then the EVA-8 would have to fire something crazy like the Seoulkraft 8 Gauge shotgun shells fired from the M90 in the Halo series.
GunFuMaster I think the drum is just an esthetic to make the gun look nice and to simplify the reloading. Since the developers were so hard headed on making the game balanced it makes the eva-8 easier to use since manual reload like a regular shotgun would take way more time. There are only 6-9 rounds because 32 would make it unstoppable.
Concept art shown it got 32 capacity
As the only shotgun in game it's too op

I love your voice !!
stu if you do any bonus footage could you tell me if you have tried heady topper it is a Vermont beer which my father is quiet fond of i myself am to young to drink thank you
the eva shotgun has a drum mag but only fires 5 to 6 12gauge cartridges why didnt they fix this in tf1 and 2 and apex
Epic, as always !
I wouldn't call the shotgun a blast from the past seen as though the game is set in the future
can you make a weapon review in the next Battlefield game?
Stu does it not frustrate you that you get less views than some other video game based youtube channels, even though you probably put 10x the effort into each of your videos?
It’s not that insane, but it’s still very fun to use this shotgun.
Kind of sad it's been so long since MW2 for a modern FPS to have a shotgun with range beyond sneezing distance. The shotguns in BO2 were meh, and literally a joke in Ghosts, including in campaign.
How are you able to walk in front of 5-8 enemies and slowly kill them all without dying instantly?
Those are grunts, AKA bots with worse health and weapons than the actual human players.
Nice vid once again.
Respawn really need to buff the Shotgun or release smaller maps because the Shotgun is really underpowered
It's not underpowered it's just not well suited to the maps
mastodonseven That's another way to say it
Great videos man can you do bf4 or bf3 guns please. :)
