Palworld’s v0.6.0 update, titled ‘Tides of Terraria,’ is now live, introducing a hefty batch of new content that fans will want to check out. From a Terraria crossover featuring the infamous Moon Lord to new islands and gameplay mechanics, this patch shakes up the world of Palworld in several interesting ways.
Let’s unpack what’s new and why it might change how you play.
First, the Terraria collaboration adds a distinct dungeon packed with Terraria enemies, letting players gather materials to craft iconic Terraria equipment. There are six new weapons and seven armor pieces inspired by Terraria, plus the Moon Lord raid boss has invaded Palworld. Teaming up with friends and your Pals to take down this terrifying foe will surely be a highlight.
Besides the crossover, the update brings three new island types: Tropical, Iceberg, and Shipwreck Islands, each home to new Pals. You can now fish by crafting rods and bait, spotting fish shadows in water to snag new Pals. Plus, a salvage system lets you ride water Pals and recover rare ores from the ocean floor, which can beef up your weapons.
The mission system adds fresh objectives around the Palpagos Islands, with rewards for helping out islanders. A special series of missions for Zoe lets you earn her trust and recruit her as an ally, a neat twist for players wanting extra companions. And the Pal trust mechanic means spending time with your Pals boosts their stats, giving weaker Pals a chance to shine.
After a day of battling and farming, you and your Pals can rest together, adding a cozy touch. Treasure maps are another new feature, pointing to hidden loot, while enemy factions have started building their bases. Raid these to snag blueprints tied to those factions. The settlements got a makeover, feeling larger and more alive, with many mission NPCs scattered about.
Player level cap is bumped from 60 to 65. Several new buildings have been introduced, including a Pal Surgery Table (for implanting passives and even changing Pal gender), a Fishing Pond for relaxing base-side angling, a Hexolite Quartz Mine, a Large Incubator to hatch multiple eggs simultaneously, and a Palbox Control Device that lets you swap Pals remotely during raids.
Decor players will appreciate the new Clean building material set, which offers futuristic floors and walls. A new turbulence mechanic lets you find air currents to jump high into the sky, a fun little mobility addition.
Five new weapons have been added, including the Charge Rifle, Energy Shotgun, Overheat Rifle, Boost Gun, and Pal Recovery Grenade, the last two aimed at tamers supporting their Pals. New items like whistles, a Growth Acceleration Bell, and fresh food recipes round out the gear additions.
