Palworld’s latest update, version 0.5.5, brings a notable change to how players glide using their Pals. If you’ve been relying on certain Pals to swoop through the skies, you’ll want to pay attention to this shift in mechanics.
Patch Notes for v0.5.5
- Gliding Mechanics Changed: Previously, some Pals could be used directly as gliders. Now, players must equip a dedicated glider item to glide.
- Glider Pals’ New Role: While you still can’t glide solely on a Pal, those designated as glider Pals will grant a new passive partner skill effect during gliding.
This means the excite of soaring through Palworld’s skies is still intact, but with a twist: your trusty Pal supports you passively while the glider does the heavy lifting. It’s a subtle but important change that might affect how you plan your aerial adventures.
Personally, I found gliding on Pals a fun shortcut, but this update adds a layer of strategy—choosing the right glider and Pal combo could make all the difference.
What do you think about this change? Will you miss gliding directly on your Pals, or do you like the new passive skill system? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
