Details
At 15 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 88,800 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Assault Rifle Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 92 materials across 4 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 60× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
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 sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields at 18.4% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ×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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2★ | Snowfields sea base camp stashes, Desert sea base camp stashes, Treasure map digs (tier 2) +10 more — best 18.4% (grade 3/5/6) · Supply drops in the Mount Obsidian (2.53%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Vortex Beater sits just above it at 450 attack — only 2 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Assault Rifle at 512; below it is Assault Rifle at 400.
