Palworld Version 0.2.4.0 Patch Details

Pal Changes

In Version 0.2.4.0, Alpha and Lucky Pals in the game have received a meaty update, with their HP being boosted by 20%.

This means that all Alpha Pals will now have more health than their regular versions, which means that you should aim to get a full team of Alpha Pals if you want to have the best team possible! You can also use Pals that have the highest HP stat if you want to have the tankiest team possible.

Alpha Pals also have a chance to hatch from Eggs obtained from breeding, including those that weren't obtained from breeding two regular Pals. Previously, you can only expect hatching Alpha offsprings from Eggs that were produced by Alpha Pal parents.

Boss Damage Adjustments

Version 0.2.4.0 also reduced the amount of damage bosses can deal by 18%. This will make boss battles a bit easier, which is useful for those having a hard time defeating raid and Alpha bosses.

Item and Pal Drop Changes

Those playing in harder game difficulties will also notice changes with the dropped item and Pal mechanics, as these can now be picked up by anyone by up to 24 in-game hours, and will disappear after 48 hours if left alone.

This means that if your character dies, anyone in the same session as you can pick up your items and Pals, but only if you have the option turned on.
