Weapon Evolutions

[Eckard]

So, as title says, the Weapon Evolutions mentioned on the Drake body. Anyone know details?

When you get them to 12, the Evolution automatically happens immediately. So it goes from lvl 11 to Evolved right away.

Only some weapons have their evolved form so far, then?
I've seen the big artillery gun switch to Widowmaker and the drone to Spectre, but that's it.

Are there requirements for evolving weapons?
Such as needing to have some other weapon or equipment on the mech for the weapon to be able to evolve at lvl 12?

So far there were no requirements besides the level.

Is there a list anywhere 4 weapons that can(`t) evolve?

Now that I've played the game some more, I can say that it's only Dreadnought weapons that evolve.
Those are the ones that sit on top of the mech, rather than at the sides.

That only applies to the Drake mech, which gets automatic evolution as a perk.
Other mechs need to purchase the evolution upgrade and then go to the designated location on the map to finish the process.

Dreadnought class weapons are the only ones that can be evolved, Once you get the evolution upgrade, you have to go to a specific place in the map and stand in a circle for roughly 6 seconds for the weapon to evolve. The Drake mech however doesn't have to locate the evolution in the map, once you get the evolution upgrade you install it automatically.

Primary Weapons - "Evolves" automatically once they reach rank 12.
Mostly just an extra powerful final rank, minor visual upgrades.

Secondary Weapons - Seems to have nothing right now.

Dreadnought Weapons - Reach Rank 12, then they can appear once again as an "EVO" option when you level up. Which will mark a map location, where you need to go, to complete the evolution.
Significantly improves the function, performance and visual aspect of the skill.

So Dreadnought Weapons is where it's at, hopefully we will see similar things for Secondary Weapons.
