Beam Launcher
Weapon · WeaponRocketLauncher1★Puts out a high-density beam that detonates across a wide area. Sustained fire runs it hot, so overheating becomes a real concern.
Beam Launcher is 4th of 39 rocket launchers by attack, at 14,700 against the 16,800 of Beam Launcher.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 30 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 6,275,450 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Beam Launcher
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is fishing in the World Tree at 7.9% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Beam Launcher
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 14000 to 16800, 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★ | Beam Launcher | 14000 | 3500 |
| 1★ | Beam Launcher (this one) | 14700 | 5250 |
| 2★ | Beam Launcher | 15400 | 7000 |
| 3★ | Beam Launcher | 16100 | 10500 |
| 4★ | Beam Launcher | 16800 | 14000 |
Ammunition Beam Launcher Uses
Beam Launcher fires Beam Launcher 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Beam Launcher Ammo | ×10 | Bio Battery ×1, Paloxite Ingot ×6, Soralite Ingot ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Beam Launcher
The Technology tree hands you the plain Beam Launcher at level 80 for 5 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. The fastest route is fishing in the World Tree, and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Beam Launcher schematic works out at roughly 125 containers against the 275 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. 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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
 Beam Launcher Schematic 1 | 1★ | fishing in World Tree, World Tree fishing treasure spots, Recycling Glistening Ancient Relics +4 more — best 7.9% (grade 1/5/6) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Beam Launcher at 15,400 attack; step down and it is Rocket Launcher at 14,000. Weigh the jump against what the next tier costs you before committing the resources.
