Palworld's best weapons for every type of player

Palworld weapons for the early game

The first really useful weapons after the spear, for example, are the crossbow and the three-shot bow. Both are weapons that at first glance seem to be made for the long range, but there are small but subtle differences that can sometimes make the difference between victory and defeat.

Three Shot Bow

• Unlock: from level 10 in the technology menu for 2 technology points
• Type: medium ranged combat
• Damage: low
• Crafting: 50x Wood, 30x Fiber and 12x Stone
• Ammunition: Arrows - can be unlocked from level 3 for 1 technology point. 1x Wood and 1x Stone
• Strengths: fires 3 arrows simultaneously with 40 damage each while only one is consumed, giving it a high hit rate. Quick to reload and cheap to make; bow and also arrows
• Weaknesses: doesn't have the best range performance and naturally doesn't come with the most damage

Crossbow

• Unlock: from level 13 in the technology menu for 2 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: medium
• Crafting: 50x Wood, 40x Stone, 10x Ingot and 5x Nail - only from high quality workbench
• Ammunition: just like the Three Shot Bow: arrows
• Strengths: the crossbow does more damage than the Three Shot Bow, but you also have to be able to hit first. Can be used as a small sniper if you want to hit an opponent point-blank
• Weaknesses: long reload time, not as long a range as you would think

Palworld weapons for the mid-game

Let's move on to the more solid weapons that will probably accompany you in the mid-game of Palworld and hopefully defend you well. And above all, here are weapons that have a little more power and sound to offer.

Makeshift Handgun

• Unlock: from level 25 for 3 technology points
• Type: melee
• Damage: medium
• Crafting: 35x Ingot, 30x Fiber and 10x High Quality Pal Oil
• Ammunition: low-quality ammunition made from 1x Ingot and 1x Gunpowder - from level 21
• Strengths: the strength of the makeshift handgun is definitely that it can deal decent damage to single enemies at close range and shoot up to 6 times before you need to reload
• Weaknesses: the range leaves something to be desired and it should not be used for big fights

Meowmere

• Unlock: from level 30 for 2 Ancient Technology points
• Type: direct melee and medium ranged combat
• Damage: medium
• Crafting: 22x Paldium Fragment, 22x Ingot, 22x Coal and 3x Predator Cores. You can find out where to get the Predator Cores in Palworld in the blog article
• Strengths: the Meowmere is almost iconic thanks to its appearance in Terraria. In Palworld, the Meowmere also cuts a fine figure in melee and ranged combat and, of course, the visuals are the highlight of this sword
• Weaknesses: even though the Meowmere is without question damn cool, it unfortunately doesn't have the best stats and deals rather less damage

Old Revolver

• Unlock: from level 33 for 2 technology points
• Type: melee / medium ranged combat
• Damage: high
• Crafting: 60x Ingot and 20x High Quality Pal Oil
• Ammunition: Pistol ammunition - 1x Ingot and 1x Gunpowder
• Strengths: the old revolver was introduced to Palworld with the Feybreak update and has 600 damage per shot, which is pretty good for an early/mid game weapon
• Weaknesses: the weapon is slightly expensive to make for the effect it achieves and generally the old revolver unfortunately doesn't have that much power in the chest and is a bit slow

Palworld weapons for advanced players

Here are a few nice weapons that should earn you more respect from your opponents, as they are not only strong and fast, but also very dangerous and will sweep entire groups out of your way.

Semi-Auto Rifle

• Unlock: from level 41 for 3 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: high
• Crafting: 35x Refined Ingot and 10x Polymer - at least at weapon assembly line factory
• Ammunition: Rifle ammunition - 2x Gunpowder and 1x High-quality metal ingot
• Strengths: the Semi-Auto Rifle also came through the Feybreak update and is reminiscent of the M1 Garand. With its high damage and semi-auto, you can easily take down even high-level Pals
• Weaknesses: lower durability and expensive to manufacture

Assault Rifle

• Unlock: from level 45 for 4 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: medium
• Crafting: 40x Refined Ingot, 30x Carbon Fiber and 10x Polymer
• Ammunition: Assault rifle ammunition - 2x Gunpowder and 1x High-quality metal ingot
• Strengths: it shoots and shoots and shoots. You get the feeling that the assault rifle has an infinite magazine and can take out enemies in no time at all
• Weaknesses: the damage is not as high as you would think from looking at the weapon, but the speed makes up for it

Rocket Launcher

• Unlock: from level 49 with 5 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: extremely high
• Crafting: 75x Pal Metal Ingot, 50x Carbon Fiber and 30x Polymer at Weapon Assembly Line II
• Ammunition: Rocket ammunition - 5x Gunpowder and 1x Pal Metal Ingot
• Strengths: without question, the Rocket Launcher is one of the most impressive weapons in Palworld. With up to 10,000 damage per shot, it makes other weapons look old, but all stats must be at maximum level and even then you may not be able to get above 2,000 damage
• Weaknesses: the production of the ammunition and the Rocket Launcher itself is expensive and at level 49 you can only unlock it very late - however, it is worth it for anyone who likes to shoot their opponents through the area

Palworld weapons for the endgame

Last but not least, we have arrived at the most powerful weapons in Palworld. If you are already in the endgame, on the verge of it or you have a big goal in mind, you should definitely get to know the following weapons and take a look at them.

Laser Rifle

• Unlock: from level 51 with 5 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: high
• Crafting: 60x Plasteel, 50x Pal Metal Ingot and 40x Carbon Fiber at Weapon Assembly Line II
• Ammunition: Energy cartridge - 5x Electric Organ and 1x Pal Metal Ingot
• Strengths: the damage the laser rifle does and the handling of this cool weapon are good benefits
• Weaknesses: it's unfortunate to say that for the extremely expensive resources and high level, it doesn't necessarily offer what you expected as a player. Without question, the handling and effect of the laser rifle are really cool, but unfortunately it doesn't really pack a punch

Grenade Launcher

• Unlock: from level 53 for 5 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: very high
• Crafting: 80x Plasteel, 75x Pal Metal Ingot and 60x Carbon Fiber
• Ammunition: Grenade ammunition - 20x Fiber, 3x Gunpowder and 1x Pal Metal Ingot
• Strengths: the grenade launcher is an incredibly good choice for battles against whole groups, shoot once and everyone takes a funny leap into the air
• Weaknesses: again, the procurement of materials is very time-consuming and you will encounter many opponents mainly individually and not in large groups

Guided Missile Launcher

• Unlock: from level 55 with 5 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: very high
• Crafting: 100x Pal Metal Ingot, 100x Carbon Fiber, 50x Plasteel and 20x Circuit Board
• Ammunition: Missile ammunition - 1x Pal Fluid, 1x Crude Oil, 1x Circuit Board and 1x Pal Metal Ingot - you can find out how to get Crude Oil in Palworld in the corresponding blog
• Strengths: with the rocket launcher, you get a weapon that is extremely good for destroying individual enemies and also for destroying groups, because the rockets deal area damage
• Weaknesses: the rocket launcher is heavy, requires a lot of extremely high-quality materials, has a long reload time and, above all, you should be careful with the rocket launcher and the gatling gun if you are in your camp - sometimes everything lies in dust and ashes faster than you think

Plasma Cannon

• Unlock: from level 60 with 5 technology points
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: extremely high
• Crafting: 200x Carbon Fiber, 200x Plasteel, 130x Hexolite and 100x Circuit Board
• Ammunition: Plasma cartridge - 10x Electric Organ and 1x Hexolite
• Strengths: an incredibly strong, if not THE strongest weapon in Palworld. We love it and in addition to the impressive look, you can even kill high-level Pals without any problems after a few shots
• Weaknesses: long reload time, heavy, you need to have good aim and of course the materials to make the Palworld plasma gun and ammo is sometimes a pain - but no matter the weaknesses, the plasma gun just is!

Multi Guided Missile Launcher

• Unlock: with blueprint, which you can find on the oil platform
• Type: ranged combat
• Damage: very high
• Crafting: 150x Pal Metal Ingot, 120x Carbon Fiber, 80x Plasteel and 30x Circuit Board
• Ammunition: Missile ammunition - same like for Guided Missile Launcher
• Strengths: this weapon is already very epic, as you can use it to fire 4 guided missiles at enemies simultaneously, each dealing decent damage
• Weaknesses: long reload time, heavy and you have to find the blueprint for the multi-missile launcher first
