While I appreciate Palworld for its firearms and long-range weaponry, sometimes the scarcity of ammo necessitates a hands-on approach to deal with Pals and enemies. Here’s a ranking of all melee weapons in Palworld!
Best Melee weapons in Palworld
Below, you’ll find a list of the best melee weapons in Palworld, sorted based on their damage, utility, and crafting materials required. Even as you progress to higher levels, having a sharp blade or sturdy club in your inventory remains beneficial.

A beefier version of the Wooden Club, the Bat becomes available once you establish your Stone Pit and Logging Camp. Crafting it requires 10 Stone and 30 Wood, offering a substantial upgrade in damage output.
