Where to Find Plasma Rifle
Plasma Rifle is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Plasma Rifle
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1860 to 2232, a 1.2x 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.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Plasma Rifle (this one) | 1860 | 25000 |
| 1★ | Plasma Rifle | 1953 | 37500 |
| 2★ | Plasma Rifle | 2046 | 50000 |
| 3★ | Plasma Rifle | 2139 | 75000 |
| 4★ | Plasma Rifle | 2232 | 100000 |
Ammunition Plasma Rifle Uses
Plasma Rifle fires Plasma 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Plasma Rifle Ammo | ×20 | Bio Battery ×1, Paloxite Ingot ×3, Soralite Ingot ×2 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Single-Shot Rifle sits just above it at 1,870 attack — only 10 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Heavy Assault Rifle at 1,938; below it is Heavy Assault Rifle at 1,857.
