Single-Shot Rifle
Weapon · WeaponAssaultRifle2★One round per load and a slow reload between shots, traded off against sheer per-shot power.
Single-Shot Rifle is 15th of 70 assault rifles by attack, at 1,870 against the 15,000 of Charge Rifle.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.

At 20 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 40,990 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Single-Shot 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 sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian at 20.9% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Single-Shot Rifle
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1100 to 2310, a 2.1x 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★ | Single-Shot Rifle | 1100 | 1000 |
| 1★ | Single-Shot Rifle | 1650 | 2000 |
| 2★ | Single-Shot Rifle (this one) | 1870 | 2500 |
| 3★ | Single-Shot Rifle | 2090 | 3000 |
| 4★ | Single-Shot Rifle | 2310 | 4000 |
Ammunition Single-Shot Rifle Uses
Single-Shot Rifle fires 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.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Rifle Ammo | ×10 | Refined Ingot ×2, Gunpowder ×2 |
Schematics That Unlock Single-Shot Rifle
The Technology tree hands you the plain Single-Shot Rifle at level 36 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 Single-Shot Rifle schematic, and they are not measured in the same thing: about 33 kills hunting it directly from verdash (alpha), or roughly 60 containers farming the 3★ copy from sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Mount Obsidian 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 |
|---|---|---|
 Single-Shot Rifle Schematic 2 | 2★ | Mount Obsidian sea base camp stashes, Treasure map digs (tier 1), Mount Obsidian camp stashes +4 more — best 20.9% (grade 3/4/5) · Supply drops in the Forest (1.05%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Laser Rifle sits just above it at 1,875 attack — only 5 more, close enough that it is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Heavy Assault Rifle at 1,938; below it is Plasma Rifle at 1,860.
