Pump-Action Shotgun
Tech Level 43. High-capacity shotgun built for strong close-range DPS after the Makeshift Shotgun and Single-Shot Rifle era. Attack sits near 220 with Mag 8, so you trade sniper pacing for room-clearing volume when fights stay tight. Reach for it once refined mats and Polymer lines are steady enough to feed late firearms.
Recipe: Refined Ingot ×30 + Polymer ×20 + Carbon Fiber ×10. Polymer ×20 is the heavy sink, so bank Polymer beside refined stacks and Carbon Fiber before unlock night. Keep a replacement kit ready, because late expeditions punish a lost shotgun when rebuild mats are scarce.
Carry Pump-Action Shotgun for cave bosses, base breaches, and any close fight where Mag 8 spray beats single-shot rhythm. Pair the loadout with Assault Rifle when you need mid-range rapid fire instead of point-blank bursts, and graduate to Semi-Auto Shotgun when Mag 10 rapid pellets beat pump rhythm. Figures are for Palworld 1.0.5; recheck Tech level, craft counts, Attack, magazine size, and durability in game after a later patch.
