Palworld: How To Butcher Pals [Quick Guide]

A detailed guide on how to butcher pals to get double the amount of resources and loot.

You can butcher your Pal, which you have no use for using a special tool in Palworld. While another option is selling them for gold, you can opt to butcher your pals to get extra resources. However, not only is it brutal, but it is also considered an illegal activity, so you have to be very careful not to be spotted while chopping up your pals.

Key Takeaways
  • Butchering is an illegal activity that can allow players to get double the resources in Palworld.
  • To butcher pals, players are required to unlock a meat cleaver.
  • After butchering, you will get a lot of loot in Palworld, and the loot itself depends on the Pal.

How To Butcher Your Pals In Palworld

Before you can butcher your Pal, you will have to unlock the meat cleaver by using some technology points.

It requires level 12 in the Technology Tree to unlock. To craft the Meat Cleaver, you need 5 stones, 20 wood, and 5 ingots.

  • Summoning the Pal: Make sure to equip the meat clever from your inventory and then summon the Pal you wish to butcher. After that, you need to open your command wheel by pressing 4 on your PC or pressing the right thumbstick on your Xbox.

  • Butchering the Pal: After selecting the butcher, your character will start chopping up the selected Pal. The whole scene will be censored, so you won’t really get to see anything.

Uses Of Butchering

The best thing about butchering, in my opinion, is that when you butcher up a Pal, you will get double the amount of loot as compared to the normal loot you’ll get by killing them.

The drops you will get after butchering depends on the Pal. However, you will have to be very careful while butchering because it is an illegal activity, and if there is an NPC around, you will become wanted.

That was all you needed to know about butcher Pals to get extra resources in Palworld. I recommend checking out Arham’s guide on increasing the capture rate. You can also read Ibrahim’s guide on how to recover lost save in Palworld.
