Much of the marketing campaign for Palworld revolved around the game essentially being "Pokemon with guns"‚ and that phrase is something you will see said often in the game's community. And that tagline is not far from the truth‚ as you will be given a wide variety of fully-automated weapons to use against your enemies in the world. This means that you are going to need a lot of ammunition to keep those weapons locked and loaded to fight when you need it‚ which in turn means you are going to need Gunpowder.
