How to Get a Gun in Palworld

One of the biggest selling points for Palworld is that it combines cutesy Pokémon-like creatures with guns, but it turns out that it’s hard to get a gun.

Despite their prominence in marketing materials, though, guns in this game aren’t unlocked until about midway through the game. We’ve all been slightly bamboozled…

In this guide, we’ll tell you what you need to do to get yourself a gun. In Palworld, of course!

Arm Yourself, Pal!

The only way to get guns in Palworld is to craft them at a workbench, but you will need to first learn their recipes on the Technology tree.

Here’s every gun in the game and at which level they become available in the Technology tree, as well as which materials they require:

• Level 21, Musket – Ingot x25, High Quality Pal Oil x5, Wood x30 
• Level 25, Makeshift Handgun – Ingot x35, High Quality Pal Oil x10, Fiber x30
• Level 29, Handgun – Ingot x50, High Quality Pal Oil x15, Refined Ingot x20.
• Level 36, Single-shot Rifle – Refined Ingot x20, Polymer x5.
• Level 39, Double-barreled Shotgun – Refined Ingot x30, Polymer x7.
• Level 42, Pump-action Shotgun – Refined Ingot x30, Polymer x20, Carbon Fiber x40.
• Level 45, Assault Rifle – Refined Ingot x40, Polymer x10, Carbon Fiber x30.
• Level 49, Rocket Launcher – Pal Metal Ingot x75, Polymer x30, Carbon Fiber x50.

As you can see, it’s going to take a long while before you can get even the basic Musket. On top of that, you will need to gather lots of resources.

The most annoying of these resources are Ingots and Refined Ingots, which require a massive amount of ore. To make things easier, you can use our ore locations guide to help get you started mining ore!

As for the others, they can all be primarily obtained by killing certain Pals, as follows:

• Carbon Fiber – Jetragon, Shadowbeak.
• Fiber – Hangyu, Hoocrates, or chopping down trees.
• High Quality Pal Oil – Damud, DIgtoise, Elphidran, Flambelle, Grintale, Mammorest, Quivern, Relaxaurus, Woolipop.
• Polymer – Jetragon.

Lastly, as a fun fact, you can technically get a gun of sorts earlier. You can unlock the Lifmunk Submachine Gun ability at Level 11. Here’s how to do it!

Anyway, now you know what to do to get a gun in Palworld.
