Double-Barreled Shotgun
Weapon · WeaponShotgun3★Devastating in close quarters, with two shots available before a reload. The tiny capacity takes nothing away from the punch.
Double-Barreled Shotgun is 23rd of 40 shotguns by attack, at 361 against the 1,400 of Prototype Shotgun.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 24 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 69,240 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Double-Barreled Shotgun Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 110 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 sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian at 1.8% 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.

| 0★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 190 | 200 |
| 1★ | Double-Barreled Shotgun | 285 | 400 |

| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 3★ | Mount Obsidian sea base camp stashes, Snowfields camp loot, Sakurajima camp loot +11 more — best 1.8% (grade 3/4/5/6) · Supply drops in the Forest (0.21%) |
