At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 95,280 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Pump-Action Shotgun

The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Desert at 17.6% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

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.

Schematics That Unlock Pump-Action Shotgun

The Technology tree hands you the plain Pump-Action Shotgun at level 43 for 4 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. 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.

Fastest route. Two routes to the top-tier Pump-Action Shotgun schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from suzaku (alpha), or roughly 71 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Desert and fusing five. Which is faster depends on how long one of each takes you. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
