Semi-Auto Shotgun
Weapon · WeaponShotgun4★Semi-Auto Shotgun is an early weapon: 30th of 40 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 282 against the 1,400 of Prototype Shotgun.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 163,200 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Semi-Auto Shotgun Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 164 materials across 4 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 100× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Semi-Auto Shotgun
Semi-Auto Shotgun is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Ammunition Semi-Auto Shotgun Uses
Semi-Auto 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ×10 | Refined Ingot ×2, Gunpowder ×3 |
Schematics That Unlock Semi-Auto Shotgun
Semi-Auto Shotgun 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 4★ | Snowfields, Crates on the large oil rig, Enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields +4 more (grade 5/6) · Supply drops in the Mount Obsidian (0.07%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Double-Barreled Shotgun at 285 attack; step down and it is Pump-Action Shotgun at 275. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
