Gunpowder is one of the high-tier materials that players can use for assault rifles and handguns to take down bosses and Pals. Without a solid supply of gunpowder, players will have to rely on their bows and melee weapons.
Luckily, there are multiple ways through which players can obtain gunpowder and craft as much ammunition as they can holster in Palworld.
How to get Gunpowder in Palworld
There are two ways through which players can acquire gunpowder. One of them includes hunting down a specific creature of Pals and the other requires a bunch of tedious tasks to be completed. For your ease, we’ve listed both of the methods down below.
Capture Tocotoco
The easiest and earliest way through which you can obtain gunpowder in Palworld is by defeating Tocotoco, a green Pal that is inspired by a Toucan. Tocotoco can be identified by its unique green appearance with a red and yellow mohawk.
Tototocos are usually found at the shoreline of Dessert Biomes which is quite near to the Ambius fight at the start of the game. The coordinates for the location are -134, -95.
These Pals are usually roaming around in flocks and capturing or defeating them can reward you with gunpowder. However, keep in mind that usually, Tocotoco ranges between levels 25 to 27, so capturing or defeating it will require some effort on your behalf.
Unlock the crafting recipe for Gunpowder
If hunting down birds for gunpowder isn’t your cup of tea in Palworld, then unlocking the recipe for gunpowder shall do the trick. To unlock the crafting recipe, you’ll first have to reach level 21.
Once you reach level 21, you can unlock the ability to make gunpowder from the Technology section, using regular Technology Points. However, you can’t make gunpowder at a primitive workbench. For that, you will need a High-Quality Workbench.
Once you unlock gunpowder, you will notice that there are only two crucial resources required for crafting this specific material. These will include charcoal (x2) and Sulfur (x1). While Charcoal is something you can make yourself at a Primitive Furnace, to get Sulfur in Palworld, you will need to find some good farming spots.
To farm a sufficient amount of Sulfur, it is recommended to head over to the Eternal Pyre Tower Entrance which is a fast travel point located in the western section of the map next to the Volcanic Biomes. Scout around the checkpoint to find Sulfur rocks lying around.
Now that you’ve acquired the required Sulfur, head over to the Primitive Furnace and burn some wood to get a good amount of Charcoal. Take both of the requested materials and head over to the High-Quality Workbench and craft gunpowder in Palworld.
Keep in mind that the gunpowder you’ve just crafted is known as Coarse ammo which is the basic form of ammunition only applicable in Muskets. To craft ammunition for shotguns and assault rifles, you’ll be required to convert the gunpowder into ammunition by using Ingots.
