SMG Schematic 1
Blueprint1★Kept in inventory, this opens the Uncommon SMG for building at the Weapon Assembly Line.
It is a component in one recipe, so keep a couple spare rather than a stockpile.
Details
It stacks up to 9,999. At 10,000 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Where to Find SMG Schematic 1
SMG Schematic 1 turns up in supply drops — best odds are the Forest drops at 5.23%, 1 per crate.
It also shows up as world loot — chests in the Forest, chests in the Desert and enemy camp loot in the Desert, and 5 more pools besides. Higher-grade chests carry the better rolls, so the ones guarded by a camp are usually worth the detour.

What SMG Schematic 1 Unlocks
This schematic is not equipment itself — holding it unlocks the recipe for SMG, a assault rifle, so the schematic is the permission and the crafting bench does the work. It lands at 156 attack, 65th of 70 in its class. The tier on a schematic decides the rarity of the piece you end up with, and five of one tier combine into the next at the drafting table.

Every Tier of SMG
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 130 to 227, a 1.7x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
