The opposing raids in Palworld can really ruin a player’s day. A Reddit user seems to have found a good method to fight against them. But the community can only laugh at his suggestion.
What are raids like in Palworld? Groups of enemies repeatedly attack the player’s base. They try to get inside and destroy the base. They don’t spare buildings or the player’s Pals, quickly causing chaos. The community is already busy showing their bases to other players. It would be a shame if your headquarters were reduced to rubble.
A Reddit user has at least presented a way to keep the raids at bay in his post.
What trick does the user use? The user freddyxm posted a video (via Reddit), in which he wrote: “I never worry about raids anymore.”
The reason for this becomes clear in the video. The player has surrounded his base with a wooden wall. As the enemies approach, he climbs the wall and jumps down to the other side. While the enemies are trying to hit the wall, the player throws a very specific Pal at them.
Specifically, it is a Jolthog, a Pal of Electric type. With just one throw, it triggers an explosion and defeats almost all enemies. Those who survive the explosion die shortly after from the lightning that continues to deal damage.
The player has found a safe way to combat raids. Or has he? The community on Reddit has its own opinion on that.
Another player’s Pal won’t stop growing. Is it a bug, or already a feature?
The community laughs at the user’s trick
How does the community react? Many comments from other players are gathering under the video. Most seem to be further along in the game and have more knowledge than the video’s creator, freddyxm.
They have mostly scorn for the supposed trick. The method might work well at first, but later in the game, it becomes completely useless.
QU417Z writes: “You will love it when you reach level 35 or higher.” As you level up, the raids change as well. Enemies will attack from the air and use fire and explosions to destroy the base. A plain wooden wall won’t help much. Maybe a roof?
“Don’t hold it against him, we were all foolish once,” chuckles the user Regetron. Referring to the series “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” LeftJayed writes: “Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.”
And Steinbei55er also questions the wooden walls: “What happens when the raid comes with flamethrowers and burns the wall down?”
All in all, the players agree and cheekily tell freddyxm: Don’t get too excited too early. The game is going to get tougher, and your trick won’t be worth anything then.
Does the community have constructive suggestions? Yes, it does. One user suggests building the base high up on a plateau. The enemies would spawn below and wouldn’t be able to reach it.
Or one can simply disable the raids entirely. The player aski4777 has done that, as he finds raids “ridiculously difficult” especially in the later stages of the game. Want to defend yourself better? On MeinMMO, we have practical tips for legendary weapons and armor.
