How to Get Shotgun Body Tier 3 in Once Human (East Blackfell Junction)

You cannot build a Tier 3 shotgun in Once Human without Shotgun Body III. The part is not sold by vendors, so you have to loot it. It comes from Weapon Crates and military strongholds in Tier 3 zones. One of the fastest crates to reach sits right next to a teleport point in Iron River.

Quick answer: Teleport to Worldstone – East Blackfell Junction in Iron River (4616, -3109). Open the yellow Weapon Crate tucked into the corner behind the main building’s entrance wall.

Shotgun Body III location details

East Blackfell Junction is a gas station and store point of interest in the Iron River region. The Worldstone there doubles as a fast-travel point once you repair it. That makes the crate a short walk from where you spawn in.

Detail	Value
Region	Iron River
Teleport point	Worldstone – East Blackfell Junction
Coordinates	4616, -3109
Recommended level	25
Container	Yellow Weapon Crate
Listed POI rewards	Shotgun Body III, Copper Ore, Stardust Source

Repairing the Worldstone also pays out Energy Link x150, Stellar Planula x1, and Eclipse Cortex Lv.2 x1. It unlocks the teleport for later visits.

How to reach the Weapon Crate at East Blackfell Junction

Open the world map and scroll to the Iron River region. Look for the Worldstone – East Blackfell Junction marker near coordinates 4616, -3109.

Fast travel to the Worldstone if you have already unlocked it. If you haven’t, travel there on foot or by vehicle and repair it so you can teleport back later.

Walk to the large gas station and store building at the junction. Head for its front entrance.

Go around the partition wall beside the entryway, on the building’s exterior porch. The yellow Weapon Crate is wedged into the recessed corner behind that wall. It glows yellow, so it is easy to spot once you round the corner.

Interact with the crate to open its loot window. Then claim the contents.

How to confirm you got Shotgun Body III

The loot window names the part directly. It shows as Shotgun Body III x1 and is tagged as a Weapon Body. Hit Claim All to move everything into your inventory. A typical haul from this crate looks like this:

Shotgun Body III x1
Energy Link x136
Mod Dust x1029
Stardust x3
Pistol Copper Ammo x99
Heavy Explosives <Deviant Energy> Lv. 6 (Gear Mod)

Looting the Crate u0026 Acquiring Shotgun Body III — The loot window lists Shotgun Body III. Use Claim All to take it with the rest of the crate. Shown at 00:44 in HeRo Survival Guides’s video. Image: Starry Studio

Opening the crate also advances the POI’s “Find Weapon and Armor Crates” objective. You can see the counter tick up on the map’s East Blackfell Junction panel.

Shotgun Body III is a chance-based drop from Weapon Crates, not a guaranteed one. If it isn’t in the window, other Weapon Crates and military strongholds in Tier 3 zones roll from the same pool.

What Shotgun Body III crafts

Shotgun Body III is a rare Weapon Body. It weighs 0.4 kg and stacks to 1,000. You can’t sell it to vendors. One copy goes into every Level III shotgun recipe, including these:

DBSG, DBSG – Old Huntsman, DBSG – Format, DBSG – Doombringer
Dual Fury
DP12, DB12 – Backfire, DB12 – Raining Cash
AA12
ACS12 – Corrosion, ACS12 – Netherworld, ACS12 – Pyroclasm Starter
S870 – Sandstorm

Take the base DBSG (Tier 3) as an example. It needs the body plus Stardust Source x24, Steel Ingot x10, Parts x21, and Energy Link x1,100, crafted at the Advanced Gear Workbench. Don’t disassemble a spare body unless you’re sure you won’t need it. Breaking one down only returns Stardust Source x3, Steel Ingot x3, and Parts x3.

Shotgun Body IV and higher don’t drop at East Blackfell Junction. Those tiers come from the higher-level northern zones, such as the Blackheart Region at level 52. For Tier 3, the Iron River crate is a short, low-risk stop at level 25.
