Random Pal Mode was added to Palworld with the update v0.4.11. The Feybreak Island may have been the highlight for this update dropped on the 23rd of December, but it this new mode also deserves your attention and love.

In simpler terms, the Random Pal Mode, when enabled, lets you randomize pal spawns. This is not in terms of the type of pals spawning in an area. Instead, it refers to the levels of the Pals that spawn in an area. So, if you find a pal in a region, it can’t spawn in a region too far away from its original habitat. However, it can definitely spawn as a high-level pal.

There are two types of Random Pal Modes:

  • Randomized by Region: Pals in a certain region will be randomized on a level basis while the rest of the regions operate on a default setting. I haven’t tried this personally, but the game will probably let you select these regions.
  • Completely Random: The pals spawning in all the regions are randomized. So, low-level pals can be in any region. You may even be surprised by the high-leveled pal at the beginning of the game.

If you think that this mode toughens the game further, you are not wrong. Although Pocketpair didn’t reveal the reason why they added this mode in the first place, we believe it was to increase the immersion for players.

Is the Random Pal Mode Enough To Immerse You in Palworld?

Along with Random Pal Mode, Palworld also introduced a Hardcore mode. The latter enables permadeath to whatever save file it is applied to. This way, if you die, you will no longer face the death penalty because the game will literally be over.

Both Hardcore and Random Pal modes can truly immerse you in Palworld, making you sit on the edge of your seat at almost all times. In addition to the fear of death, you will also be faced with much more dangerous pals. You never know what level of pals you may come across in any region. Hence, it is important to search for those who suit your level.

So, while Random Pal mode is surely fun on its own, combining it with the Hardcore mode will only enhance your experience further. You should use both of them together to feel completely immersed in the game.
