Palworld is a multiplayer, open-world survival game released on January 19, 2024. A core mechanic of this game is catching Pals, creatures that inhabit the game's setting, in a very similar manner to the Pokémon series, though it more heavily resembles open world survival games such as ARK: Survival Evolved and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in terms of overall gameplay.

The following weapons appear in the video game Palworld:

Overview

In Palworld, players are able to craft weapons. These weapons can be used by humans and Pals alike. Different tiers of weapons exist; Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary. This all have different damage values and magazine capacities, although they all share the same model as the Common version of said weapon (meaning that the 7-round M1911 magazine can hold up to 16).

Handguns

M1911

A Desert Eagle sized M1911A1 fitted with black grips and nickel furniture appear as "Handgun". Is sometimes used by enemies and can be crafted with 50 ingots and 15 high quality Pal oil. It uses "Handgun Ammo". The "Makeshift Handgun" also superficially resembles the M1911A1. Neither hold the correct amount of bullets, with the "Makeshift Handgun" having an under-loaded capacity of 6 and the "Handgun" having one of 8 (though 8 round mags for the M1911A1 do exist).

Satin Nickel M1911A1 - .45 ACP. Manufactured on license by Remington Rand - nickel plated later by its owner.

Shotguns

Double-barreled Shotgun

Samuel Buckley & Company/Anson & Deeley Side by Side Shotgun - 12 gauge.

Pump-action Shotgun

The Benelli M3 appears in the game as the "Pump-action shotgun". As its name implies, it can only fire in pump-action and not semi-auto. It is craftable at tier 42 on the tech tree for 30x Refined Ingot, 20x Polymer, 40x Carbon Fiber. It is also seen in the hands of various NPCs and enemies, including Rayne Syndicate Hunters and Burley Mercs.

Rifles

AKMN

A scaled down AKMN with an AK-47 dust cover makes an appearance as a weapon exclusive to Tanzees when using their Tanzee’s Assault Rifle special ability. This appears to have been partially inspired by this promotional clip for the movie: Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Another Tanzee pulling out his AKM at out of thin air the start of his ability.

Ditto after flipping the rifle, giving a look at the left side of the rifle. Note the dovetail appears to be a more modern one such as the ones seen mounted on the late 90's versions of the AK-74M.

Armed and ready.

Letting loose. Note no casings are ejected nor are any bullets ever seen. The Tanzee fires about three or four bursts before its ability is exhausted.

Assault Rifle

Palworld's "Assault Rifle" is an indistinct original design, albeit with some resemblance to the SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO. The stock's buttpad also comes off of an FN SCAR.

Charleville Musket

A Charleville Musket, simply referred to as "musket" can be used by the player at Tech Tier 21, crafted using 25 ingots, 30 wood and 5 high quality pal oil.

Start of the reload; tossing the cartridge into the air then catching it and pouring powder into pan. Note the player character doesn't tear it at all, and in addition, the strange color and shape of the cartridge, which makes it look like a metal tube instead of paper cylinder.

Smacking the action to full-cock. Cocking the hammer before loading the barrel is not a technique recommended in reality.

Dropping a cartridge into the muzzle.

Finally, pulling out the ram-rod, flipping it upside down, and pushing the cartridge down.

Sharps Rifle/Spencer 1860

The in-game "Single-shot Rifle" is modeled after the both the Sharps Rifle and the Spencer 1860 .

Machine Guns

Browning M2

The Browning M2 appears as "Mounted Machine Gun" and can be built as a defense for the player's base at tech level 40 for 30x Ingot, 10x Nail, 15x Cement. It was featured being used by Lamballs in official trailers and images.

Handheld Minigun

A gigantic minigun can be unlocked for the pal Grizzbolt, simply referred to as Grizzbolt's Minigun. It is also seen in the hands of the equally massive Rayne Syndicate Crushers.

Airsoft handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO

Launchers
