Palworld: Best Weapons and How to Get Them

Palworld features many different weapons that players can obtain throughout the game to take on its enemies, including Tower Bosses, the many wild Pals found across the world, and Alpha Pal bosses. Your arsenal will be fairly limited at first and mainly consist of primitive weapons, but later on you will be able to craft the best weapons in the game, which naturally include powerful firearms such as assault rifles, rocket launchers, and shotguns.

In this section of our guide, we will show you a tier list of Palworld's best weapons, ranked by tier so you can see which ones are the most powerful and highly recommended to carry in your inventory, as well as the crafting requirements needed to obtain them.

Best weapons - SS Tier

SS-Tier weapons are exceptional and therefore the very best in the entire game. They stand out because they are even more powerful than the rest. Unsurprisingly, these are the weapons you will use during the endgame, once you have access to the rarest and most difficult resources to obtain, so you will need to make considerable progress before you can use them:

Weapon	Technology Lv.	Crafting requirements	Strengths
Assault Rifle	45	Refined Ingot x30 Polymer x10 Carbon Fiber x30	High rate of fire Great for taking enemies down quickly
Rocket Launcher	49	Pal Metal Ingot x75 Polymer x30 Carbon Fiber x50	Deals massive damage Has good range
Pump-Action Shotgun	42	Refined Ingot x30 Polymer x20 Carbon Fiber x40	Extremely high damage at close range Allows two shots per reload
Homing Sphere Launcher	50	Pal Metal Ingot x100 Polymer x50 Paldium Fragment x200 Carbon Fiber x50 Ancient Civilization Parts x20	Automatically locks onto Pals to ensure the shot hits
Hyper Grappling Gun	47	Paldium Fragment x40 Refined Ingot x30 Carbon Fiber x20 Polymer x20 Ancient Civilization Parts x15	Excellent for traveling long distances The best Grappling Gun

Best weapons - S Tier

S-Tier weapons are outstanding and can deal a great deal of damage. Some of them are extremely useful in critical situations and will serve you well during the later stages of your game:

Weapon	Technology Lv.	Crafting requirements	Strengths
Single-Shot Rifle	36	Refined Ingot x20 Polymer x5	High damage, although it takes a while to reload
Handgun	29	Ingot x50 High Quality Pal Oil x15	Good rate of fire and damage
Double-Barreled Shotgun	39	Refined Ingot x30 Polymer x7	High damage at close range
Giga Grappling Gun	32	Paldium Fragment x30 Ingot x30 Fiber x80 Ancient Civilization Parts x8	Longer range than the Mega Grappling Gun

Best weapons - A Tier

A-Tier weapons are excellent and a very good choice for almost any situation in the game. They are still not the best weapons available, but you will certainly notice a huge difference once you can craft them compared with everything you have used up to that point:

Weapon	Technology Lv.	Crafting requirements	Strengths
Poison Arrow Crossbow	17	Wood x50 Stone x50 Ingot x15 Nail x5 Venom Gland x5	Good damage Inflicts poison damage
Fire Arrow Crossbow	15	Wood x50 Stone x50 Ingot x15 Nail x5 Flame Organ x5	Good damage output Inflicts burn damage
Musket	21	Ingot x25 High Quality Pal Oil x5 Wood x30	High damage with each shot
Sword	44	Refined Ingot x30 Wood x20 Stone x20	A decent melee weapon

Best weapons - B Tier

B-Tier weapons are among the least impressive in the game, excluding the primitive weapons available at the beginning. This does not mean they are not interesting or useful, but you will want to upgrade to better options as soon as you get the chance, since these weapons have certain limitations or are not as versatile in most situations. Even so, craft them as soon as you can to take advantage of what they offer:

Weapon	Technology Lv.	Crafting requirements	Strengths
Makeshift Handgun	25	Ingot x35 High Quality Pal Oil x10 Fiber x30	Good damage
Crossbow	13	Wood x50 Stone x40 Ingot x10 Nail x5	A good ranged weapon
Stun Baton	22	Ingot x20 Electric Organ x20	Low damage, but improves your capture rate
Lily's Spear	40	Paldium Fragment x20 Refined Ingot x30 High Quality Cloth x20 Wood x50 Ancient Civilization Parts x20	Powerful melee weapon
