Palworld, the 'Pokemon-with-guns' game that many have eagerly anticipated, is now available on PS5, Steam Early Access, and Xbox Game Preview. This guide will help you understand how to obtain guns in Palworld, a feature that isn't immediately apparent. While Palworld draws heavily from Pokemon and Breath of the Wild, it also incorporates Minecraft-inspired elements. You begin the game with minimal resources, necessitating a crafting-based approach to survival. Crafting guns is a significant milestone, but it won't be accessible for quite some time.
You unlock the ability to craft guns at player level 20, at which point you receive the blueprint for the Weapon Workbench. This workbench is essential for manufacturing guns, which are crucial for the game's challenging boss battles against formidable creatures known as Pals. At level 20, you can craft the Weapon Workbench using a specific recipe.
If you're interested in arming your Pals with guns, you can do so slightly earlier. The earliest method involves capturing a Lifmunk, a green rodent-like creature that roams the game world. At player level 11, you unlock Lifmunk's ability, Lifmunk Recoil. This skill allows the Lifmunk to jump on your head and fire a barrage of gunfire in the direction you're facing. While this skill is limited in use, it offers a unique 'Pokegun' experience.
As noted in our Palworld tips and tricks, adjusting the difficulty sliders can significantly speed up your leveling process, enabling you to unlock new items and mechanics more rapidly.
