There's no doubt that capturing Pals in Palworld can prove daunting if you're not equipped with the Stun Baton. Although it doesn't deal a lot of damage, the weapon shocks the enemy, immobilizing them and improving the chances of capture. It's a crucial item to have if you want to have the highest possible chance of catching a Pal. Without further ado, let's take a look at how you can get and use Stun Baton in Palworld.
How to Unlock Stun Baton in Palworld?
You can craft the Stun Baton by reaching Level 22. To unlock the schematics of this weapon, you must buy them from the Technology Lab with 2 Ancient Technology Points. After you've unlocked the Stun Baton's receipt, you need the following materials to craft it –
X20 Ingots
X20 Electric Organs
It's quite easy to get your hands on these resources. For Ingots, you need to collect ores and smelt them inside a furnace with the help of a Kindling Pal. You can obtain Electric Organs from killing electric types such as Sparkit, Jolthog, Univolt, and more.
That's not all; these items can also be purchased from Wandering Merchants. However, each item will cost you 200 Gold, which is quite expensive.
Once you've gathered all the materials mentioned above, put them inside a high-quality workbench to craft Stun Baton successfully.
How to Use a Stun Baton in Palworld?
As we've said before, the Stun Baton doesn't deal tremendous damage but can send an electric shock when you hit an enemy. This will completely immobilize the target Pal and temporarily increase your capture rate by 30%. The Stun Baton isn't required when you're trying to catch regular Pals. However, if you're trying to capture Legendary Pals such as Frostallion Noct and Jetragon, you're going to need this weapon.
These Legendary Pals can prove to be quite difficult to catch, even if you're using Legendary Spheres. Your best bet is to try to wear them down and then reduce their health until they're on the verge of dying. After that, use the Stun Baton to boost your capture rate before you use your Legendary Sphere.
You can even use the Stun Baton to capture lower-level Pals during the game's later stages. Since most of your weapons should be well upgraded by this time, a single hit might finish off a Pal, ruining your chances of capturing them. Since the Stun Baton doesn't deal that much damage, it can help you catch low-level Pals without ending their lives.
