Where to Find Laser Rifle
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 chests in the Feybreak at 19.2% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Laser Rifle
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1250 to 1875, 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★ | Laser Rifle | 1250 | 3000 |
| 1★ | Laser Rifle (this one) | 1437 | 4500 |
| 2★ | Laser Rifle | 1562 | 6000 |
| 3★ | Laser Rifle | 1687 | 9000 |
| 4★ | Laser Rifle | 1875 | 12000 |
Ammunition Laser Rifle Uses
Laser Rifle fires Energy Cartridge, 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Energy Cartridge | ×20 | Bio Battery ×1, Pal Metal Ingot ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Laser Rifle
The Technology tree hands you the plain Laser Rifle at level 51 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. Two routes to the top-tier Laser Rifle schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from lyleen Noct (alpha), or roughly 68 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Snowfields 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Laser Rifle Schematic 1 | 1★ | Feybreak treasure chests, Sakurajima camp loot, Sakurajima chests +8 more — best 19.2% (grade 2/5/6) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Overheat Rifle at 1,470 attack; step down and it is Overheat Rifle at 1,408. Weigh the jump against what the next tier costs you before committing the resources.
