Although I like Palworld for its guns and long-range weapons, ammo is scarce and sometimes you’ll need to take a hands-on approach to take down Pals and enemies. Here are all melee weapons in Palworld ranked!
Best Melee weapons in Palworld
Below is a list of the best melee weapons in Palworld, classified based on their damage, usefulness, and all the materials needed to craft them. Even after you reach higher levels, you’ll still do well to craft a sharp blade or a blunt club to have in your inventory.
8. Hand-held Torch
Not a weapon per se, but it’s light, useful for keeping you warm, and easy to craft. You only need two Wood and Stone each to make one, and it’s a necessary tool you’ll use throughout the entire game.
7. Wooden Club
The best weapon in the early game, the Club will serve you well taking down low-level Pals like Lamball or Chikipi. For five Wood you can have a durable and reliable melee weapon to get you started.
6. Bat
The Bat plays out as a beefier Wooden Club you can switch to once you’ve built your own Stone Pit and Logging Camp. It deals 50 damage and requires 10 Stone and 30 Wood to craft, which is an excellent deal!
5. Stone Spear
Unlocked at level four, the Stone Spear is a melee weapon that lets you keep enemies at a distance while you’re dealing blows. You’ll unlock it early on in the game, and for six Stone and 18 Wood you can’t go wrong.
4. Stun Baton
Instead of dealing damage and waiting for a counterattack, you can use the Stun Baton to electrify Pals and capture them faster and easier. You’ll need to reach Level 22 to craft it at your High Quality Workbench, costing you 30 Ingots and 20 Electric Organs. If you’ve learned about the best Electric Organ farm, you’ll have a stockpile of Organs ready for crafting.
3. Metal Spear
A decimating and durable weapon, the Metal Spear keeps the enemies at an arm’s length but delivers 80 Damage—perfect for dealing with high-level Pals and Thugs. Head for your High Quality Workbench, gather 27 Wood, 12 Stone and 10 Ingots, and you’ll have a great weapon when the enemies get too close for comfort.
2. Refined Metal Spear
At Level 34, you can spend 3 Technology Points to get a Refined Metal Spear, a more powerful version of the abovementioned weapon. After crafting it at the Production Assembly Line and Production Assembly Line II, you’ll get a melee weapon that deals 300 Damage and destroys low and mid-level creatures in a second.
1. Sword
Behold, a behemoth among melee weapons in Palworld! The Sword has the highest Level entry in the game, requiring you to reach Level 44 and to own all types of Crafting Workbenches. After you gather 30 Refined Ingots and 20 Wood and Stone each, you’ll create a mighty blade that deals a whopping 525 Damage. With the Sword you can engage in firefights knowing that you can switch your approach without losing out on destructiveness.
