Palworld is a game full of tricks, cheats, and devious exploits. This is partially thanks to the early access nature of the game plus the fact gamers will find exploits in even the most polished experiences. If you fancy performing an incredibly easy exploit, the community has shared a trick for how to loot Pals in Palworld without fatally killing them.

Although things have been quiet lately, the future of Palworld is bright. Xbox is officially partnering with Palworld to improve the console experience, and Microsoft reportedly used Palworld to show the future of Xbox games. While this shows an appreciation for the game from Microsoft, Forbes predicts Xbox will try to buy Pocketpair in the near future.

While the future for both the game and the developer is bright, the more immediate future concerns fixes through patches and updates. Developers at Pocketpair have reassured fans updates are on the way, so make sure to perform this exploit before it possibly gets patched out.

How to loot pals in Palworld without killing them

Reddit user yashpwnz has shared a nifty Palworld exploit. Per the headline of their Reddit post, ‘If you Mount your pal while butchering them, you will get the loot and your pal survives as well’. The Reddit post is accompanied by an in-game clip that shows the trick actually works as advertised.

This is a really cool trick. One of the benefits of butchering pals in Palworld is to collect resources such as meat and raw materials. However, through this exploit, you get these resources without the emotional anguish of having to put down your beloved pets like Old Yeller.

Naturally, players in the replies were very appreciative of the shared exploit. One user commented ‘Dude this would’ve been SO HELPFUL for getting the AR schematic from Blazamut,’ to which yashpwnz replied ‘This is the most efficient way to get all the legendary schematics‘.

In such comments that won’t exactly please do-gooders PETA, one user replied ‘After work today, I’m about to trap my Paladius in an infinite death loop genjutsu‘. When you think of it like that, this is really sick and twisted as you are killing your pals only to then snatch them away from the cold hands of Death.

We haven’t had a new update for Palworld in over a week, but Pocketpair has done a good job communicating with players. A dev has given the best response to the evident player drop off across Xbox and Steam, meanwhile, a developer has reassured fans worried about the game dying due to extreme server costs. They have also promised fans updates are on the way, so make sure to perform this exploit now!
