The Charge Rifle is an advanced ranged weapon introduced in the Tides of Terraria update, designed to deliver immense power capable of decimating enemies from incredible distances.
Similar to other semi-automatic rifles, it requires players to hold down the trigger to charge before releasing a devastating burst of concentrated energy.
Its combination of precision, raw power, and unique charging mechanics makes it one of the most formidable and rewarding weapons to master in Palworld’s high-level combat.
How To Unlock and Craft Charge Rifle?
The Charge Rifle is available from the Technology Menu once you have reached Level 65, and this is also the same requirement for Charge Rifle Ammo.
Unlocking the Charge Rifle will require 5 Technology Points, and Charge Rifle Ammo will require 1 Technology Point.
The following materials are required to craft the Charge Rifle:
- 200 Coralum Ingot
- 150 Hexolite
- 300 Carbon Fiber
- 150 Circuit Board
The following materials are required to craft Charge Rifle Ammo:
- 10 Electric Organ
- 1 Hexolite
- 1 Coralum Ingot
Charge Rifle Features
The Charge Rifle functions as a powerful hybrid weapon that operates like a single-shot rifle but fires concentrated energy blasts instead of traditional bullets for massive damage output.
After a short charging phase, the weapon releases a devastating blast, but if the charge is not fully completed, the Charge Rifle will fail to fire.
Reloading the Charge Rifle requires inserting each bullet individually, making it important to find cover or create distance from enemies while performing this action.
Charge Rifle Schematic Locations
The Charge Rifle’s overall damage output increases based on its rarity, allowing higher-tier versions to deliver significantly stronger attacks and improved performance during battles.
You can obtain Charge Rifle Schematics by opening chests that appear after using Legendary Treasure Maps or by fishing within the mysterious Feybreak Dungeons.
There is also a chance to acquire the Legendary Charge Rifle Schematic when defeating, capturing, or butchering an Alpha Neptilius, whether it is a Dungeon Boss or a bred variant.
The following are the base damages for each Charge Rifle:
Charge Rifle Quality | Damage |
Common Charge Rifle | 12500 |
| Uncommon Charge Rifle | 13125 |
Rare Charge Rifle | 13750 |
Epic Charge Rifle | 14375 |
Legendary Charge Rifle | 15000 |
Verdict
The Charge Rifle excels at eliminating enemies from any range, especially when players take advantage of critical weak points to maximize its already devastating damage potential.
While the brief charge delay before firing may seem like a drawback, the sheer power of each shot easily compensates for the weapon’s slower firing pace.
It is highly recommended to stockpile the necessary crafting materials and ammunition components in advance, ensuring you are fully prepared once you reach Level 65.
