Semi-Auto Rifle

Details

At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 53,900 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Crafting it takes 56 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 43× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Semi-Auto 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 enemy camp loot in the Snowfields at 26.2% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.

Every Tier of Semi-Auto Rifle

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1150 to 1610, a 1.4x 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 Semi-Auto Rifle Uses

Semi-Auto Rifle fires Assault Rifle 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.

Schematics That Unlock Semi-Auto Rifle

The Technology tree hands you the plain Semi-Auto Rifle at level 41 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 Semi-Auto Rifle schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from azurobe (alpha), or roughly 130 containers farming the 3★ copy from treasure map digs (tier 2) 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Overheat Rifle sits just above it at 1,286 attack — only 21 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Overheat Rifle at 1,347; below it is Laser Rifle at 1,250.
