Is the Laser Rifle any good in Palworld?

Yes, the Laser Rifle in Palworld is one of the best weapons in almost all scenarios. Unfortunately, it is a single-fire weapon, which might be its only major downside. As such, using it as a primary weapon in any mob battles (like the raids) is not the best choice.

Regardless, this weapon does amazing damage in both PvP and PvE scenarios. Being a bit slower than the Assault Rifle because of its singe-fire-only mode, this weapon should ideally be used only for mid to long-ranged fights. In close quarters, the Legendary Pump-action Shotgun is still the best choice.
