Sometimes, the thrill of acquiring a rocket launcher to take on hordes of creatures in Palworld can lead to unintended consequences, like accidentally demolishing an entire home. Surprisingly, such mishaps aren’t uncommon among players.
Palworld typically revolves around survival activities such as resource management, crafting, and base-building, along with the aspect of taming creatures known as Pals. However, the game occasionally introduces enticing new gadgets like grapple hooks or rocket launchers, which can sometimes be confusing, as evidenced by several incidents shared by players.
Recently, Palworld players have been recounting their unfortunate experiences. In one instance, a player mistakenly destroyed their entire abode, believing they had their grapple hook equipped instead of a destructive weapon. “Luckily I quit the game immediately after the video ended, and it didn’t save,” the player recounts.
Another example features builders attempting to enhance their bases with ill-advised equipment—installing rooftop hot tubs becomes significantly riskier when handling explosive weaponry. One memorable lesson learned from these incidents is encapsulated in the humorous acronym “WOOPS (or: Why you never want to have the Rocket Launcher as your equipped weapon when you teleport to your base.)”
In yet another escapade, a player decided to indulge in some reckless behavior by firing a rocket into their own base for amusement, only to swiftly regret the chaotic aftermath of the cleanup. Such antics, while entertaining, serve as cautionary tales for both hosts and their companions in Palworld.
