How to defend your base against raids in Palworld
It’s not easy to defend your base against raids in Palworld. All of those explodingTocotocoshave damaged so many of my walls. However, there are ways to increase your chances of winning raids and keep your base safe as long as possible.
Surround your Base with Traps
Once you’ve reached Level 4 of theTechnology Tree, you’ll unlockHanging Trapswhich you can place around your base as an extra layer of protection. At Levels 10 and 22 you’ll gain access to Small and LargeBear Trapsrespectively to further reinforce your defenses.
Of course, you can also unlock items such as theMounted Machine Gunat Level 40, allowing your Pals to shoot at your enemies alongside you.
Craft Alarm Bell
For a single Technology Point, you can craft anAlarm Belland ring it during raids to make the Pals switch from working to attacking enemies. To craft an Alarm Bell in the Tier 4 Technology tree, you’ll need20 Stoneandfive Paldium fragments. Placing it in your base will stop the enemy from taking you by surprise.

Return to Title and then Return to your World
If the raid is too much for you to handle, use this trick to save your base from certain destruction:
Once your world loads, the raid will have stopped, and your base will be safe again. Pals might behave a bit strangely after you use this trick, but it’s better than being obliterated and having to start over.
Swap Base Pals with Party Pals
If you have low-level Pals working in your base, swap them out for yourleveled-up Palsin your party. That way, you’re able to keep theworker Palsfrom being destroyed, while your brawlers can fight back. You can also boost your Pal’s EXP withTraining Manuals, ensuring that even your base Pals can push back.
Disable Raids
At the end of the day, gaming is all about having fun: if you find Raids tedious and miserable, go toWorld Settingsand toggleRaids off. That way, you’ll keep your base prospering and you’ll be able to play at your own pace and without stress.
How to protect your base from a Pal Raid in Palworld
While the attacks from the outside on your base are random, you’re the one that’s summoning a Pal for aPal Raid. In order to start a Pal Raid, you’ll first need to craft aSummoning Altar. The issue with this is that the Summoning Altar has to bein your baseand Raid Pals will destroy it as if it’s made of cardboard. So how do you protect your base from a Pal Raid in Palworld?
Craft the Summoning Altar in your Secondary base
Usually, you’ll have two bases, your primary one where you will create your home, and your secondary one, usually for ore farming. You should be placing the Altar at whichever base youuse the leastand whichever one you won’t mind getting the most damage.

Clear out the base
You might think that building stone walls and defenses will help you protect your items from the Raid Pal. Sadly, they will cut through stone like a knife through butter. These are extremely powerful Pals and you’ll be struggling to stay alive and keep yourPalboxfrom getting destroyed.
I suggestclearing outall items, ore, equipment and anything else you don’t want destroyed and moving it to your first base. I would alsochop downall trees and mine all the rocks and ore in the area. These will be getting destroyed as well so you might stumble across a bunch of stones. If you go over theweight limit, it will slow you down, and you’ll be an even easier target.
Increase the number of Pals at a Base
If you are struggling to complete a Raid quickly and defend your base, then you need to increase the limit on how manyworker Palscan be at the Base. You can do this in world settings before you enter a world.
Put your strongest Pals in your base
Add whichever Pals are thestrongestto your base. Once you have them all at base and ready to protect it, you can add the following five strongest to your party. This way you ensure that your strongest hitters are all attacking as soon as possible, and you can switch out the party Pals as needed.
Craft a Rocket Launcher
At the end of the day, offense is the best defense. If you take out the Raid Pal as soon as possible, it won’t be able to cause as much damage. ARocket Launcheris unlocked at level 49 of the Technology Tree. To craft it, you’ll need:
You’ll also need a lot of Pal Metal Ingot for Rockets, so ensure to farm this material before you summon a Raid Pal.
