Assault Rifle
Weapon · WeaponAssaultRifle1★Assault Rifle is an early assault rifle: 50th of 70 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 400 against the 15,000 of Charge Rifle.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 15 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 72,050 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Assault Rifle
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields at 18.5% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Ammunition Assault Rifle Uses
Assault Rifle fires Assault Rifle Ammo, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Assault Rifle Ammo | ×20 | Refined Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Assault Rifle
Assault Rifle is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. Two routes to the top-tier Assault Rifle schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from blazamut (alpha), or roughly 68 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields and fusing five. Which is faster depends on how long one of each takes you. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Assault Rifle Schematic 1 | 1★ | Snowfields camp stashes, Sakurajima treasure chests, Sakurajima fishing treasure spots +7 more — best 18.5% (grade 3/5/6) · Supply drops in the Mount Obsidian (12.65%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Assault Rifle at 448 attack; step down and it is Vortex Beater at 390. The size of that step is what decides whether the crafting bill is justified yet.
