Gatling Gun
Weapon · WeaponGatlingGun2★Gatling gun built for sustained rapid fire, cutting enemies down under a wall of suppressive lead.
Gatling Gun is an early gatling gun: 8th of 10 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 468 against the 689 of Laser Gatling Gun.
This is where the crafting chain ends — nothing downstream consumes it, so a stockpile earns you nothing.
Details
At 50 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 765,660 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Gatling Gun Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 439 materials across 4 types.
Where to Find Gatling Gun
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure map digs (tier 4) at 6.4% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Gatling Gun
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 375 to 562, a 1.5x 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★ | Gatling Gun | 375 | 6000 |
| 1★ | Gatling Gun | 431 | 9000 |
| 2★ | Gatling Gun (this one) | 468 | 12000 |
| 3★ | Gatling Gun | 506 | 18000 |
| 4★ | Gatling Gun | 562 | 24000 |
Ammunition Gatling Gun Uses
Gatling Gun fires Gatling Gun 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ×50 | Pal Metal Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×3 |
Schematics That Unlock Gatling Gun
The Technology tree hands you the plain Gatling Gun at level 54 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 treasure map digs (tier 4), 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 Gatling Gun schematic works out at roughly 56 containers against the 68 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2★ | Treasure map digs (tier 4), Crates on the oil rigs, Sakurajima camp stashes — best 6.4% (grade 5) |
