Where to Find Pump-Action Shotgun

Pump-Action Shotgun is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Pump-Action Shotgun

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 220 to 385, a 1.8x 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 Pump-Action Shotgun Uses

Pump-Action Shotgun fires Shotgun Shell, 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
Shotgun Shell	×10	Refined Ingot ×2, Gunpowder ×3
