Where to Find Overheat Rifle

Ammunition Overheat Rifle Uses

 Overheat Rifle Ammo | ×20 | Thermal Core ×1, Hexolite ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Overheat Rifle
Overheat Rifle 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Overheat Rifle Schematic 2 | 2★ | Treasure map digs (tier 5), fishing Dark Island (grade 1/5) |
