Heavy Assault Rifle
Weapon · WeaponAssaultRifle3★Assault rifle forged from Soralite Ingots, reworked to take powerful ammo without giving up the class's all-round handling.
Heavy Assault Rifle is 17th of 70 assault rifles by attack, at 1,857 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
It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot. At 4,176,670 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Heavy Assault Rifle Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 330 materials across 5 types.
Where to Find Heavy Assault 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 Feybreak at 18.0% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Heavy Assault Rifle
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1615 to 1938, a 1.2x 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.

| 1★ | Heavy Assault Rifle | 1695 | 8250 |

Ammunition Heavy Assault Rifle Uses
Heavy Assault Rifle fires Heavy 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.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| ×20 | Soralite Ingot ×2, Gunpowder ×10 |
Schematics That Unlock Heavy Assault Rifle
The Technology tree hands you the plain Heavy Assault Rifle at level 70 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. The fastest route is sea base enemy camp boss stashes in the Feybreak, 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 Heavy Assault Rifle schematic works out at roughly 23 containers against the 139 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 3★ | Feybreak sea base camp stashes, Treasure map digs (tier 5), Sunreach Isle camp stashes +4 more — best 18.0% (grade 5/6) · Supply drops in the Sunreach Isle (1.11%) |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Plasma Rifle sits just above it at 1,860 attack — only 3 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 Musket at 1,800.
