Where to Find Energy Shotgun
Energy Shotgun is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Ammunition Energy Shotgun Uses
Energy Shotgun fires Energy Shotgun 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Energy Shotgun Ammo | ×10 | Bio Battery ×1, Hexolite ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Energy Shotgun
Energy Shotgun 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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Energy Shotgun Schematic 3 | 3★ | Arena Shop — 600 Battle Ticket · Treasure map digs (tier 5), fishing Dark Island (grade 1/5) |
