The Energy Shotgun is one of the advanced weapons added in the Tides of Terraria update, offering incredible firepower for players who have progressed into higher levels.
As a top-tier shotgun, it requires rarer materials to craft but delivers far greater performance compared to the weapons available in earlier stages of Palworld.
Known as the strongest shotgun introduced since the update, the Energy Shotgun is capable of dealing devastating bursts of damage to enemies at close range.
How To Unlock and Craft Energy Shotgun?
The Energy Shotgun becomes available in the Technology Menu once you have reached Level 62 and will cost 5 Technology Points to unlock.
The following materials are required to craft an Energy Shotgun:
- 155 Coralum Ingot
- 130 Hexolite
- 220 Carbon Fiber
- 120 Circuit Board
This weapon requires Energy Shotgun Ammo, which may also be unlocked once your character has reached Level 62. (Costs 1 Technology Point)
The following materials are required to craft Energy Shotgun Ammo:
- 10 Electric Organ
- 1 Hexolite
- 1 Coralum Ingot
Energy Shotgun Features
The Energy Shotgun fires a spread of energy that can hit an enemy multiple times, depending on how close you are to them, making this weapon efficient at close-range combat.
It consumes Energy Shotgun Ammo and fires extremely fast, similar to how a semi-automatic weapon would be fired, giving you a lot of damage per second.
Aiming for weak spots at close range has a decent chance of getting a lot of critical hits, which can further increase the amount of damage that you deal to enemies.
Energy Shotgun Schematic Locations
Schematics for the Energy Shotgun can drop from the chests that you track down after activating a Legendary Treasure Map or fishing in Feybreak Dungeons.
Additionally, you can purchase a Legendary Energy Shotgun Schematic from the Arena Merchant or combine lesser schematics to get higher-tier ones.
The following are the base damages for each Energy Shotgun:
Energy Shotgun Quality | Damage |
Common Energy Shotgun | 402 |
| Uncommon Energy Shotgun | 422 |
Rare Energy Shotgun | 442 |
| Epic Energy Shotgun | 462 |
Legendary Energy Shotgun | 482 |
Verdict
The Energy Shotgun can be expensive to craft for players who have just reached the higher levels, mainly due to its rare material requirements.
However, its immense power and fast rate of fire make it one of the most rewarding weapons to use once you have it fully built.
Securing a Legendary Energy Shotgun Schematic through treasure maps, fishing, or merchant purchases allows you to craft a version capable of shredding enemies in seconds.
