Some battles become much easier when you can keep enemies under constant pressure while focusing on your own attacks.
The Drone Launcher provides sustained suppressive fire, sending autonomous drones into battle to swarm enemies for you.
With up to nine drones deployed at once, it can maintain a steady stream of attacks during longer and more demanding encounters.
How To Unlock and Craft Drone Launcher?
The Drone Launcher unlocks at Technology Level 77 and requires 4 Technology Points, making it one of Palworld’s late game weapons.
The Drone Launcher can be crafted at an Ancient Workbench after it has been unlocked, using the following materials:
- 70 Paloxite Ingot
- 40 World Tree Holy Water
- 8 AI Core
- 5 Ancient Civilization Core
Drone Launcher Features
The Drone Launcher deploys autonomous drones that fly toward nearby enemies and slash them with their blades.
With up to nine drones active at once, they provide sustained suppressive pressure, constantly swarming enemies while you focus on your own attacks.
The drones remain active after you switch weapons, allowing them to continue attacking while you use another weapon against the same target.
Each drone eventually disappears, so you can keep firing the launcher to replace them and maintain a constant swarm around your target.
The weapon does not use conventional ammunition, allowing you to deploy drones without needing to craft or carry a separate ammo type.
Drone Launcher Stats
Rarity | Attack | Durability |
Common | 200 | 6,500 |
| Uncommon | 210 | 9,750 |
Rare | 220 | 13,000 |
| Epic | 230 | 19,500 |
Legendary | 240 | 26,000 |
Drone Launcher Synergy
The Drone Launcher works especially well alongside weapons that require more deliberate aiming or have slower attack patterns, as the drones continue attacking while you focus elsewhere.
Their melee attacks allow them to fly directly toward enemies, making them useful for maintaining pressure against large targets during extended encounters.
Switching to another weapon after deploying the drones lets you combine their attacks with your own damage, creating a strong two-layer attack pattern.
The launcher also shares a nine summon limit with Terraprisma’s summoned swords, so using both will divide the available summon slots rather than giving you nine of each.
Verdict
The Drone Launcher brings a unique approach to combat by putting multiple autonomous attackers on the battlefield at the same time.
Its nine-drone limit gives you strong sustained pressure while leaving you free to focus on your own attacks and movement.
With its ability to support other weapons rather than replace them, the Drone Launcher is a powerful addition to any late game arsenal.
