Palworld is the “Pokemon-with-guns” game many have long wished for, and now that it’s out in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, we can finally see how such an odd but desired concept comes together. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to actually get guns in Palworld since it’s not immediately obvious.
Palworld – How to unlock guns
Though Palworld borrows a lot from Pokemon (as well as Breath of the Wild), there are also plenty of Minecraft-like elements in play. Most notably, you’ll start the game with basically nothing but the clothes on your back, needing to craft your way to survival. Crafting guns is one such milestone, but you won’t likely achieve it for some time in-game. That’s because you unlock the ability to craft guns when you reach player level 20.
At level 20, you’ll receive the blueprint for crafting the Weapon Workbench. You’ll need this to make guns that you can use, which are vital for the game’s many challenging boss battles with powerful, sometimes massive creatures called Pals, as seen in our gallery of all Pals in Palworld.
