The Grappling Gun is a highly useful tool in Palworld that can help you not only traverse mountainous areas but will also be useful if you want to zip yourself quickly to another point. If you are worried that your stamina might not be enough to climb a mountain, the grappling gun is there to help you out.
Remember that you will need to unlock the Grappling Gun before using it in your gameplay. There is also a certain level that you need to reach for crafting this ancient technology. This guide will assist you with all the details on how to craft, use, and upgrade the Grappling Gun in Palworld.
How to craft the Grappling Gun in Palworld
The first thing you should do to get the Grappling Gun is unlock it from the technology section. In order to unlock the Grappling Gun, you will need to focus on leveling up first. Once you reach level 12, you can visit the technology section and look towards the right side to observe ancient technology items.
Now, to unlock the Ancient Technology items, such as the Grappling gun, you need to amass Ancient Technology Points as well. This can be done by defeating Alpha Pal bosses like Chillet or the 4 main Tower bosses. Whenever you defeat one of those bosses for the first time in Palworld, you will get one Ancient Technology Point.
Keep in mind that this is just for crafting the basic version of the gun, which provides limited travel distance and has a cooldown of 10 seconds. If you want to upgrade the Grappling Gun in Palworld, you will need to reach higher levels and spend more ancient technology points to unlock.
The upgraded and superior versions of the Grappling Gun and their level requirements are as follows:
- Mega Grappling Gun: Unlocked at level 17
- Giga Grappling Gun: Unlocked at 32
- Hyper Grappling Gun: Unlocked at level 47
Now that you have successfully fulfilled the crafting requirements for the Grappling Gun, it will require the following resources: Paldium Fragment (x10), Ingot (x10), Fiber (x30), and lastly, Ancient Civilization Parts (x1).
You can easily mine a lot of Paldium Fragment by traveling a little way south from the Plateau of Beginning waypoint. It will consist of medium-sized blue and back nodes, which will shine from afar and shouldn’t be hard to miss.
After that, you can focus on getting Ingots quickly using your stone pickaxe by visiting different areas such as Abandoned Mine Shafts, etc. Fiber can be acquired by chopping down trees, and as for the Ancient Civilization Parts, these can be collected by defeating bosses.
Once you have collected all the resources, you will need a specific workbench for crafting a Grappling gun. This will happen to be the Weapon Workbench in Palworld. Weirdly, the Weapon Workbench requires you to be level 20 before you can unlock it.
To craft the weapon workbench, you will need Ingot (x15), Nail (x10), and Wood (x50). Then you can simply initiate the crafting process for the Grappling gun and this weapon workbench can also later be used for crafting the Mega Grappling gun as well.
How to use the Grappling Gun in Palworld
The Grappling Gun serves a lot of purposes in Palworld. It will be helpful in all situations whether you want to increase your movement speed, close distance on a Pal, or even traverse to a waypoint if you are unable to move due to a full inventory.
Moreover, climbing normal-sized mountains is also way easier if you have a grappling gun equipped on your character, as you can point, shoot, and zap up to that exact point effortlessly without climbing halfway up in Palworld.
The best part about having a grappling gun is that it can prevent you from enduring fall damage, as you can use it to get down from a high place as well.
You can also pair this weapon with your glider and swing and shoot like Batman to reach higher places, but if you are at a very high mountain, then you will be able to come down safely in Palworld.
However, you also need to keep one thing in mind: the Grappling Gun also has a cooldown period of about 12 sec, and the range is also somewhat limited to close and medium distances.
