Semi-Auto Rifle

Details

At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 78,340 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Crafting it takes 81 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 61× 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 treasure map digs (tier 2) at 2.6% 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.
