Where to Find Overheat Rifle
Overheat Rifle is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Overheat Rifle
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1225 to 1470, 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.
