Palworld: Feybreak – Crafting and Using the Beam Sword

The Beam Sword is a powerful close-combat weapon introduced in the Palworld Feybreak update. You’ll definitely want to obtain this weapon, as it outperforms many other melee options. However, acquiring the Beam Sword is not straightforward; it requires time and specific resources. You must venture into the game world, collect rare materials, and take on formidable foes.

Compared to crafting a Meowmere, the Beam Sword is a much more dependable weapon. Plus, it has a design reminiscent of a lightsaber, which is visually appealing. While melee weapons generally don’t match ranged options in effectiveness, if you prefer a more hands-on approach instead of just shooting from a distance, the Beam Sword is an excellent choice for crafting.

How to Obtain the Beam Sword

What Level Unlocks the Beam Sword?

To get your hands on the Beam Sword in Palworld, you’ll need to follow a series of steps to access this powerful melee weapon from the Feybreak DLC. First, achieve level 57 to unlock the crafting recipe in the Technology menu. Next, you’ll need to unlock and set up a Weapon Assembly Line II or a Production Assembly Line II at one of your bases. These advanced crafting stations are essential for creating the Beam Sword, so ensure they have a power source.

If you attempt to craft the Beam Sword without the proper table, it won’t show up as an option. After that, you’ll need to gather several rare materials, including:

• 30 Hexolite Quartz: Produced using a Gigantic Furnace with Chromite and Hexolite Quartz found on Feybreak Island.
• 100 Paldium Fragments: Obtained by breaking boulders or using a Crusher.
• 20 Nightstar Sand: Collected at night on Feybreak Island or in the Sand Dunes.
• 5 Ancient Civilization Parts: Dropped by Alpha Pals.
• Plasteel

Crafting the Beam Sword can be time-consuming, so don’t rely solely on your own crafting skills. Instead, leverage the assembly line and enlist the help of Pals with high crafting abilities. Pals like Lunaris, Wixen, Verdash, Lyleen, and Anubis excel at crafting and are great assets for any recipe. Keeping one in your base exclusively for crafting will expedite the process significantly.

How to Utilize the Beam Sword

What Combat Style Does the Beam Sword Use?

In Palworld, crafting the Beam Sword requires you to reach character level 57. Make sure you have enough technology points to unlock it. The sword features a unique combat style that emphasizes a swift dash and cutting motion. Unlike heavier weapons, the Beam Sword prioritizes speed, allowing you to quickly strike down enemies. It’s similar to the Katana but offers a greater number of attacks.

Attacking with it involves lunging forward and slicing through opponents with a brilliant energy beam. This weapon can inflict considerable damage, even against enemies that exceed your level, as long as they are level 50 or lower. However, to use it efficiently, having good timing and positioning is essential.

To maximize the Beam Sword’s effectiveness, be mindful of its reach and the timing of your strikes. Because the dash is short, position yourself wisely to ensure you connect with enemies. Don’t rush into battles without consideration, as you can quickly become vulnerable after your attack. It’s better to dash toward individual foes or small groups before retreating to prepare for your next move.

Anticipating enemy movements is key; if you can predict their actions, you can dodge and counter effectively with rapid dashes, landing multiple hits for optimal damage. While the Beam Sword is formidable against weaker Pals, its limited range makes it a bit challenging against tougher opponents like Alphas, Predators, and Legendary Pals in the Feybreak DLC, who often utilize ranged attacks.

Exercise caution when engaging these challenging foes, and consider using ranged weapons or your Pal’s support before bringing out the Beam Sword. Lastly, experiment with different Pal combinations and support skills, as some Pals can enhance your melee damage or slow down enemies, making your Beam Sword hits even more powerful in Palworld.
