Palworld v0.6.6 Patch Notes: Balance Adjustments and Bug Fixes
Palworld update v0.6.6 tackles save data bloat, fixes dungeon chest spawns, and adds decay speed world options. Combat adjustments also tweak Excalibur, Terra Blade, and Herbil Pulse.
Palworld version v0.6.6 addresses major performance and progression blockers while refining combat skills and quality-of-life systems. The update implements fixes for save data rollback issues, adjusts combat hitboxes, and introduces new world settings.
Progression and World Fixes
This update implements countermeasures targeting save data bloating and rollback bugs. Random dungeons now reliably spawn treasure chests at completion, and key items no longer shuffle their sorting order randomly. In multiplayer, equipping a waist lantern and entering a dungeon will no longer turn the entire screen yellow. Additionally, a new item decay speed setting joins the world options, and a system warning now appears if world settings exceed host hardware limits. Construction near towers is also restricted.
Combat and Pal Adjustments
Herbil Pulse grants players temporary invincibility upon getting up, and progression blockers tied to Herbil incapacitation loops have been fixed. Excalibur's shockwave hit detection has been expanded, while Terra Blade hitboxes and visual effects are now properly aligned. Passive skill effects now apply correctly to human NPCs, and base Pals receive proper stat boosts when players shoot Boost Guns or Mega Boost Guns while mounted. Zoe's Assault Rifle no longer continues firing after defeating targets, and Hallowed Plate Mail correctly reduces damage during the Extreme Moonlord encounter.
Interface and Quality of Life
Easy Bulk Storage now applies immediately when pressing the LS button. Pal rank-up items feature updated appearances, and unreleased items have been removed from the flea market display. Windows Win64 users finally get native DualSense controller input support, and the Arena no longer traps enemies when Huggy Fire is used.
Why this patch matters
Version v0.6.6 delivers essential stability fixes for long-term saves alongside targeted balance tweaks for combat and storage management.
