InPalworld, sooner or later you’ll have to make weapons to fight against stronger Pals. While there are a lot of high-quality weapons in the game, you have to start with lower-quality weapons and gradually make your way up the ladder. In the early game, the makeshift weapons are going to be your friend.
These weapons are good enough to improve your attack power drastically, and you’ll need these if you intend to conquer the towers. Crafting makeshift weapons for the first time can be a challenge, but this guide will help you get up to speed in no time.
How To Craft All Makeshift Weapons
Makeshift weapons havesimilar crafting requirementsbut areunlocked at different levelsin the Technology menu. All makeshift weapons can becrafted at a Weapon Workbench, and require the following items:
How To Obtain
Ingot
Ingot can be madefrom ore using any furnace. In the early game, you’ll need apickaxeto mine those large brown chunks of rocks scattered all over the map to collect ore.
After hitting level 15, you canset up an Ore Mining Site and assign Palswith the Mining skill to it, and they’ll begin gathering ore for you.
High Quality Pal Oil
High Quality Pal Oil can be obtainedby catching or defeating certain Pals, such as Dumud, Digtoise, or Relaxaurus.Dumud or Digtoise can be easily found near theAnubis Alpha Pal locationin thedesert region.
Fiber
Fiber can be easily collected alongside wood from trees. You’ll need anaxe to get fiber and wood from trees, but if you don’t have an axe, you can attack the trees with a weapon or a Pal skill to make them drop wood and fiber.
While all makeshift weapons need these items to be crafted, the required quantity is different. Furthermore,you’ll need Coarse Ammo to pair with all of these weapons.
Coarse Ammo can bedropped by Syndicate Thugs, or you cancraft it yourself at a Weapon Workbenchusing 2x Ingot and 1x Gunpowder.
You’ll need a Weapon Workbench to craft all these makeshift weapons and their ammo. TheWeapon Workbench is unlocked at level 20in the Technology menu for three Technology Points and requires these items to be built: 15x Ingot, 50x Wood, and 10x Nail.

Makeshift Handgun
The Makeshift Handgun is a great early-game weapon due to its raw firepower. you’re able to fireup to six shots before needing to reload. It doesn’t have much range, but still, it can be an effective weapon from close to mid-range.
The Makeshift Handgun is a weapon that you’d want to keep in your inventoryuntil you get a better handgun. This weapon can easily beat the Makeshift SMG in terms of utility and usefulness.
Makeshift SMG
The Makeshift SMG might be your first weapon in the game with a decent rate of fire. While this weapon can easily melt Pals up close with its damage, you’d not want to use it too often if you’re short on resources becausethis weapon will eat all your ammo in no time.
Despite a good rate of fire, this weapon’s accuracy during a spray is quite weak, and it’sbest to switch to the Makeshift Assault Rifleor a better weapon, as soon as you get it.
Makeshift Shotgun
The Makeshift Shotgun isa decent weapon at point-blank rangeas it can deal a ton of damage, but you have to reload it after firing every single shot. Despite that, it might be worth keeping it in your inventory for the times when you needto dish out significant damage to an enemy up close before switching to other weapons.
Even though you have to reload it after firing every shot, the damage this weapon deals is significant enough to make you want to keep it equipped.
Makeshift Assault Rifle
The Makeshift Assault Rifle is an excellent weapon thatfeatures a decent rate of fire, alongside raw firepower. You can fire long sprays with much better accuracy compared to the Makeshift SMG, and you don’t have to worry too much about overusing ammo because eachmagazine contains only 15 bullets.
The Makeshift Assault Rifle is worth keeping until you encounter a better assault weapon, and will likely be the MVP of any boss battles or towers you encounter in the early game.
