Palworld v0.7.1 Buffs Melee Combat and Fixes Base Raid Bugs

Palworld version 0.7.1 improves melee weapon handling, prevents base raid altars from self-destructing, and resolves critical item drop bugs.

Palworld version 0.7.1 brings targeted quality-of-life adjustments for combat and base management. Melee weapons receive speed and range buffs, while base raids and PvP mechanics see important reliability fixes.

Melee Weapon and Combat Adjustments

Swords, katanas, and beam swords are now more viable in combat. Recovery time between swings has been reduced, and attack range has been increased. In PvP, the on-screen raid log now stays visible while bases are under attack, and attack notifications will properly appear when rival players approach a base while riding a Pal.

Base and Raid Improvements

The Summoning Altar no longer destroys itself at the conclusion of internal base raids. Hartalis's "Sacred Barrier" now successfully blocks the Oil Rig's anti-aircraft laser. Additionally, working Pals will no longer freeze in combat mode during raid boss battles, and defeating the Hartalis raid boss on Extreme difficulty now correctly rewards Life Fruit, Power Fruit, and Stout Fruit.

Critical Bug Fixes

A major inventory bug where players leaving dungeons while on water would die and drop their items and Pals inside the dungeon has been fixed. Condenser issues where Pals consumed from the Global Pal Box would disappear prematurely have also been resolved. Mod management settings now properly respect the "Allow Mod Use" toggle, and the "Alpha Pal Slayer" achievement will now unlock correctly.

Why this patch matters

Version 0.7.1 smooths out persistent friction points in base management and makes melee combat a more practical option for exploration and raids.
