Double-Barreled Shotgun
Weapon · WeaponShotgun1★Devastating in close quarters, with two shots available before a reload. The tiny capacity takes nothing away from the punch.
Double-Barreled Shotgun is an early shotgun: 29th of 40 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 285 against the 1,400 of Prototype Shotgun.
This is where the crafting chain ends — nothing downstream consumes it, so a stockpile earns you nothing.
Details
At 24 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 47,260 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Double-Barreled Shotgun Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 77 materials across 4 types.
Where to Find Double-Barreled 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 enemy camp loot in the Snowfields at 37.8% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Double-Barreled Shotgun
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 190 to 399, a 2.1x 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★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 190 | 200 |
| 1★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun (this one) | 285 | 400 |
| 2★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 323 | 500 |
| 3★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 361 | 600 |
| 4★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 399 | 800 |
Ammunition Double-Barreled Shotgun Uses
Double-Barreled 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 Double-Barreled Shotgun
The Technology tree hands you the plain Double-Barreled Shotgun at level 39 for 3 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 Double-Barreled Shotgun schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from elizabee (alpha), or roughly 103 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian 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.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Snowfields camp loot, Sakurajima camp loot, Snowfields sea base camp loot +9 more — best 37.8% (grade 3/4/6) · Supply drops in the Forest (5.23%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Makeshift Shotgun sits just above it at 290 attack — only 5 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Pump-Action Shotgun at 308; below it is Semi-Auto Shotgun at 282.
