Musket
Weapon · WeaponAssaultRifle2★Plain old-fashioned firearm. One powerful shot, then a long wait to reload.
Musket is 25th of 70 assault rifles by attack, at 1,600 against the 15,000 of Charge Rifle.
It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.
Details
At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 14,420 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Musket Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 48 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 37× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Musket
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 Grasslands at 22.0% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Musket
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1000 to 2000, a 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.
Ammunition Musket Uses
Musket fires Coarse 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ×20 | Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Musket
The Technology tree hands you the plain Musket at level 21 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. The fastest route is crates on the small oil rig, 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 Musket schematic works out at roughly 23 containers against the 33 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★ | Grasslands sea base camp stashes, Crates on the small oil rig, Forest camp loot +8 more — best 22.0% (grade 3/4/5) · Supply drops in the Grasslands (2.29%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Semi-Auto Rifle sits just above it at 1,610 attack — only 10 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Single-Shot Rifle at 1,650; below it is Combat SMG at 1,587.
