New Palworld Update Includes First Raid Boss, Pal and Base Changes, and More

Developer Pocketpair has released a new Palworld update that introduces the game‘s first raid boss, makes changes to friends, UI and bases, and much more. Called v0.2.0.6, the Steam version of this update for PC players is already live; the Xbox version will be released when it’s ready, depending Pocket pair.

As for what to expect, today’s update is one of Palworld’s biggest. But the main addition is the game‘s first raid boss, a highly anticipated aspect of the survival game‘s ending. Let’s break it all down:

Raid Boss

• The first boss of the Palworld raid is now available
• You can summon raid boss friends using tiles on the new summoning altars.
• These friends are extremely powerful and cannot be captured.
• Buddy Eggs can drop after defeating the raid boss’s buddies.
• There is an “extreme” version of the first raid boss that Pocketpair says “is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat.”

Other new content

• New elements of the “Training Manual” have been added. These manuals allow you to give experience points to your friends.
• A new item “Old Technical Manual” has been added. This manual gives you ancient tech points and can be found randomly in chests in dungeons.
• New items “Recovery Medicines” have been added. Using these medications will slowly recover your HP over time.
• A new item “Homeward Thundercloud” has been added. When used, this item will instantly move you to the nearest base.
• A new item “Ability Glasses” has been added. Once equipped, you can see Pal’s stats.
• New stat-boosting items have been added: “Power Fruit, Life Fruit, Stout Fruit”. These items will increase Pal’s stats when used.
• Added a new passive “Mercy Hit”. Friends with this passive cannot reduce the enemy’s HP below 1 when attacking.
• A new item “Ring of Mercy” has been added. While wearing this ring, you cannot reduce the enemy’s HP below 1 when attacking.
• A new armor “Multiclimate Undershirt” has been added. Protect yourself from both heat and cold with just one location!
• A new “Electric Egg Incubator” building has been added. This incubator uses electricity to automatically adjust the temperature to the optimal temperature for each egg.
• A new “Ore Mining Site” building has been added. This mining site allows you to produce ores from the comfort of your base!

Friends

• Kelpsea can now produce Pal Fluids at the ranch
• Dumud can now produce high quality Pal oil at the ranch
• You can now reduce the weight of Metal Ore when riding on Surfent Terra.
• Increased the amount of ore dropped while riding Astegon
• You can now increase Pal rank to the maximum with a single synthesis using the Pal Essence Condenser (condensation progress is now accumulated in each Pal)

User interface

• When aiming at a sphere, it will now display how many target Pals have already been captured.
• You can now view partner skill cooldowns for all your friends on the main screen.
• Equipment and item stats are now visible on the tech screen, even if you haven’t unlocked them first.
• The tutorial has been improved and renamed “Journey”
• You can now show/hide the “Journey” in the game options
• The damage number display size can be changed in the in-game options. (In Raid Boss fights, the damage numbers tend to overlap a lot and this can be difficult to see, so we recommend adjusting the size)

Player

• Items dropped by players after dying on a dedicated server can now be picked up by anyone after 24 hours of real time.
• Added a new “sleeping” player emote (changed)

Bases

• You can now allow/disallow certain jobs for base friends at the lookout post.
• Chest filters have been added. Select the types of objects to allow or prohibit inside the chests
• Crafted items are now transported from manufacturing facilities. By selecting “Allow Transport” during crafting, friends will transport these items to chests upon completion.
• You can now change your character’s appearance at any time using the “Antique Dresser”.
• The rules for placing buildings and construction elements have been relaxed (you can now connect upward-facing stairs; roof elements can now be connected directly to foundations; triangular walls can now be connected to stairs).
• You can now force a buddy to work and cancel their break by picking them up and throwing them towards a facility (buddies recover their SAN by taking a break, so be careful!)
• Fixed assignments remain fixed, even after bad events occur. Previously, some assignments changed due to certain conditions, but will now remain fixed unless the Pal is placed in the Pal Box.

Balance adjustments

• Added minimal heat and cold resistance to various armors. You will no longer need to take off your heat resistant armor when it gets cold at night in the starting zones!
• Reduce button pressing time in egg incubator
• Change the pattern of Jormuntide Ignis to something more unique.
• Added legendary blueprints for certain guns (dropped by specific enemies)
• Correction of the sale price of diamonds
• In single player, it is no longer possible to select the initial spawn point for multiplayer
• Blocked the back of the starting area with stones to prevent players from getting lost or stuck
• The increased attack power multiplier of partner skills that increase the player’s attack power while rolling has been uniformly reduced from 2.0 to 1.2.
• Eggs now have a small chance of producing Alpha Pals
• Flying and floating buddies are now immune to fall damage.
• In-store price adjustments
