Prototype Shotgun
Weapon · WeaponShotgun0★Forged from Soralite Ingots, it puts out crushing damage at point-blank, and its special magazine keeps it firing through drawn-out fights.
Prototype Shotgun is 5th of 40 shotguns by attack, at 1,167 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 2,150,100 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Prototype Shotgun
Prototype Shotgun is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Prototype Shotgun
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1167 to 1400, 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.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Prototype Shotgun (this one) | 1167 | 6000 |
| 1★ | Prototype Shotgun | 1225 | 9000 |
| 2★ | Prototype Shotgun | 1283 | 12000 |
| 3★ | Prototype Shotgun | 1342 | 18000 |
| 4★ | Prototype Shotgun | 1400 | 24000 |
Ammunition Prototype Shotgun Uses
Prototype Shotgun fires Prototype Shotgun Ammo, 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Prototype Shotgun Ammo | ×10 | Soralite Ingot ×4, Gunpowder ×8 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Prototype Shotgun at 1,225 attack; step down and it is Beam Scatter at 609. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
