Where to Find Laser Rifle

Laser Rifle is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Laser Rifle

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1250 to 1875, a 1.5x 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 Laser Rifle Uses

Laser Rifle fires Energy Cartridge, 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Semi-Auto Rifle sits just above it at 1,265 attack — only 15 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Overheat Rifle at 1,286; below it is Overheat Rifle at 1,225.
