Players in Palworld’s early access phase are encountering numerous glitches and exploits, one of which allows them to “get high off their balls” quite literally. Palworld, with its straightforward concept, combines crafting elements from the survival genre with monster-taming reminiscent of Pokemon. However, in this unique twist, the creature companions are equipped with guns and can be exploited for manual labor.
The process involves using Pal Spheres, the equivalent of Poke Balls, to catch Pals. Interestingly, these items have an amusing and hidden secondary function that players have discovered and shared on social media since the game’s early access release.

A prevalent glitch enables players to achieve significant height without the need for elaborate structures or flying mounts.
The method involves throwing a Pal Ball at a wild creature or even a human, ascending onto the ball, and, as depicted in shared clips, propelling the character into the atmosphere once the capture gauge hits 100%.
This unconventional technique offers a swift means of ascending tall terrain or traversing the game world quickly, provided the character has sufficient stamina for gliding.
Given Palworld’s immense popularity with millions of players actively exploring the game, it’s likely that more exploits will be uncovered in the future.
The game recently achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming only the sixth Steam release ever to surpass one million concurrent players, a feat unmatched by even highly anticipated titles like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3.
