What are the best Palworld guns?
Crafting guns is necessary to defeat Pals beyond the initial stages of the game. You can unlock them as you get more Technology Points, and craft them with the necessary materials. To acquire the best Palworld guns, make sure to collect as many Technology Points as you can. Increasing your character's level will allow you to achieve this.
In the early stages, before you get guns, weapon choices are somewhat primitive. They consist of a Stone Axe, a Stone Pickaxe, and an Old Bow. Eventually, at Level 10, you'll get your hands on the Triple Shot Bow which fires three arrows at once for the cost of one, making it one of the best early-game Palworld weapons.
This strategy can be employed until you reach Technology Level 21, which unlocks gun-crafting. Beyond this point, each gun crafted surpasses the previous one. Upon reaching the higher tech levels, it's a good idea to craft the latest available firearm and stock up on its ammunition before you embark on expeditions. You can also choose to have one gun of each type—but make sure to always opt for the most advanced version of the weapon type.
With all that being said, here are the best Palworld guns:
Double Barrel Shotgun
The Double Barrel Shotgun unlocks at Level 39, requiring 30 Refined Ingots and 7 Polymer to craft. Shotguns are great for close-range engagements, with the double-barrel variant inflicting massive damage. However, its two-shot limit necessitates frequent reloading, which slows the firing rate.
Pump Action Shotgun
The Pump Action Shotgun unlocks at level 42, boasting a larger shot capacity and improved firing rate and damage output. Crafting this shotgun requires 30 Refined Ingots, 20 Polymer, and 40 Carbon Fiber. It uses the same ammo as the double-barrel shotgun, so any spare ammo that you've crafted for the Double Barrel Shotgun won't go to waste.
Assault Rifle
For the pinnacle of Palworld guns, the Assault Rifle becomes available at level 45, and you can craft it with 40 Refined Ingots, 10 Polymer, and 30 Carbon Fiber. These rifles offer an exceptional firing rate and damage, so get your hands on one of these as soon as you can. Manufacturing assault rifles requires a Weapon Line Factory due to their high quality. Also, Assault rifles use different ammo, which can be crafted with 2 Gunpowder and 1 Refined Ingot.
