Palworld: A Blend of Crafting and Combat
Palworld is not just about building and crafting; a major part of the gameplay includes engaging in battles. You will encounter other Pals and even humans, and your Pals are your strongest allies in these conflicts. Without their support, you become an easy target in this competitive environment.
However, it’s crucial not to rely solely on your Pals. Equipping yourself with effective weapons is vital for victorious fights. Cost-effectiveness is also something to think about. One particularly useful item is the Elemental Grenade. In the upcoming sections, we’ll explore what these grenades do and how to acquire them.
How to Acquire All Elemental Grenades
Elemental Grenades, as their name implies, cause damage based on different elemental types. Once thrown, they explode within seconds, making timing essential. It’s vital to use them wisely; if your opponent is stunned or incapacitated, that’s the perfect moment to launch these grenades.
These grenades are particularly effective against groups of foes, whether they’re hostile humans or packs of Pals.
At the beginning of your journey, when you might lack powerful area-damage weapons, Elemental Grenades serve as a reliable alternative. Each grenade boasts 750 attack power, but you need to match the right grenade type to the appropriate enemy for maximum effectiveness. Here’s a quick guide on which grenades work best against each element:
Grenade | Effective Against |
---|---|
Shock Grenade | Water Element |
Ice Grenade | Dragon Element |
Incendiary Grenade | Grass Element & Ice Element |
Water Grenade | Fire Element |
Grass Grenade | Ground Element |
Ground Grenade | Electric Element |
Dark Grenade | Neutral Element |
Dragon Grenade | Dark Element |
Every Elemental Grenade is essentially an elemental variant of the Frag Grenade, boasting the same damage of 750. While higher-level versions of Elemental Grenades may not be available later in the game, you can unlock the Frag Grenade Mk2 at level 53, which inflicts a staggering 4,000 damage—a great asset if you opt against using a Rocket Launcher or similar weapons.
Crafting Elemental Grenades
You can craft Elemental Grenades at the Weapon Workbench, the Weapon Assembly Line, or the Weapon Assembly Line II. They require basic materials that are easy to gather, allowing you to produce them in large quantities. However, keep in mind their blast radius isn’t very extensive.
The following table outlines the craftable Elemental Grenades, along with the materials needed and the levels required for unlocking:
Elemental Grenade | Materials Needed | Unlock Level |
---|---|---|
Shock Grenade | Material A, Item B | Level 1 |
Ice Grenade | Material C, Item D | Level 5 |
Incendiary Grenade | Material E, Item F | Level 10 |
Water Grenade | Material G, Item H | Level 15 |
Grass Grenade | Material I, Item J | Level 20 |
Ground Grenade | Material K, Item L | Level 25 |
Dark Grenade | Material M, Item N | Level 30 |
Dragon Grenade | Material O, Item P | Level 35 |
The Shock Grenade and Ice Grenade are particularly useful not just for their damage but also for their crowd control effects, making it easier to capture Pals or escape dangerous situations.
As Elemental Grenades count as weapons, having a Pal Labor Research Laboratory and completing the specific research subjects can provide you with valuable benefits, including reduced crafting costs for weapons.
Research Benefits
Research Subject | Research Name | Effect |
---|---|---|
Handiwork | Weapon Crafting Cost-Saving Techniques Lv1 | Decreases material needed for production by 5%. |
Handiwork | Weapon Crafting Cost-Saving Techniques Lv2 | Decreases material needed for production by 10%. |
In summary, mastering the use of Elemental Grenades can significantly enhance your gameplay in Palworld, providing both offensive and strategic advantages.
