How this ranking works

Weapons are ordered by their base Attack stat from the Palworld 1.0 data. Attack is only comparable inside a class: a rocket launcher's blast, a shotgun's spread and a rifle's single shot all read as Attack but hit very differently, so compare within a type. Ammo cost and fire rate shift real damage output too. Unlock levels come from the Technology tree; raise weapon damage further on Upgrades.

Where next

Browse every weapon with recipes and stats in the Weapons database, gear up your Pals on Pal Gear, or rank the Pals themselves on the Pal Tier List.
