Weapons

Weapons are Items that can be equipped by the Player and used to deal damage to Pals or hostile Humans. Weapons are designed specifically for combat and include melee weapons, ranged firearms and bows, and explosive weapons such as grenades.

Weapons cannot be equipped by Pals; Pal-exclusive combat equipment is instead handled through Pal Gear.

Weapons can be crafted at various workbenches depending on their tier and type, including the Primitive Workbench, High Quality Workbench, Weapon Workbench, Weapon Assembly Line, and Weapon Assembly Line II.

New weapons are unlocked through the Technology tree or by finding Schematics, which allow the crafting of higher-tier variants with improved stats such as damage, durability, magazine size, and reload capacity. Weapon schematics can unlock rarities ranging from Uncommon (Green) to Legendary (Yellow).

Ranged Weapons

Ranged Weapons are a category of Weapons that attack from a distance using ammunition rather than direct melee strikes. Each ranged weapon requires a specific type of ammo, and incompatible ammunition cannot be used. Managing ammo supply is essential, as ranged weapons rely entirely on their loaded ammunition to function in combat.

Melee Weapons

Melee Weapons are a category of Weapons designed for close-range combat. They do not require ammunition and instead rely on direct physical attacks. Melee weapons are always available as long as they have durability remaining, making them a reliable option when ammunition is unavailable or impractical.

Grenades

Grenades are a category of Weapons that deal damage through thrown or launched explosives. They are consumed on use and typically affect an area rather than a single target, making them effective against groups of enemies or clustered objects.

Tools

Although tools are internally classified as weapons in the game, they are primarily designed for utility and resource gathering rather than combat. For a full list of tools and their uses, see Tools.
