Double-Barreled Shotgun

Weapon · WeaponShotgun4

Devastating in close quarters, with two shots available before a reload. The tiny capacity takes nothing away from the punch.

Double-Barreled Shotgun is 20th of 40 shotguns by attack, at 399 against the 1,400 of Prototype Shotgun.

It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.

At 24 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 80,780 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Double-Barreled Shotgun Crafting Recipe

Work: 2560000

Crafting it takes 128 materials across 4 types.

Where to Find Double-Barreled Shotgun

The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is crates on the oil rigs at 1.8% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Using Double-Barreled Shotgun Well

It feeds on ordinary Shotgun Shells (Shotgun Shell) — the legendary rank fires the same round the plain model does, so there is no second ammunition chain to set up before you carry it. The magazine still holds two, which means a reload after every second trigger pull; bring shells by the hundred and keep a second weapon on the hotbar for whatever is still standing when the breech runs dry.

Two locks sit in front of the recipe, not one. The Double-Barreled Shotgun technology is a level 39 unlock costing 3 technology points, and this rank needs its schematic in your inventory on top of that — the tech alone only gets you the common gun. With both in hand the recipe is accepted by the whole weapon bench ladder, from the Weapon Assembly Line up through the Weapon Assembly Line II, the Advanced Weapon Assembly Line and the Ancient Workbench, so there is no reason to keep an older bench standing for it.

Queue it and walk away: this rank is thirty-two times the crafting work of the common shotgun, and twice the work of the rank below it. The 60 Refined Ingot, 14 Polymer, 50 Hardwood and 4 Ancient Civilization Parts are the easy half of the cost — the bench time is the rest, so put your highest Handiwork Pals on it before you start.

Every Tier of Double-Barreled Shotgun

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 190 to 399, a 2.1x 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.

Ammunition Double-Barreled Shotgun Uses

Double-Barreled Shotgun fires Shotgun Shell, 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.

Schematics That Unlock Double-Barreled Shotgun

The Technology tree hands you the plain Double-Barreled Shotgun at level 39 for 3 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. 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 Double-Barreled Shotgun schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from elizabee (alpha), or roughly 103 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Energy Shotgun sits just above it at 402 attack — only 3 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Energy Shotgun at 422; below it is Pump-Action Shotgun at 385.
