Palworld has its own laws, and if you break them, you will be considered a criminal. This usually happens when you attack and kill your pets or local NPCs, so you should know how to remove Wanted status in Palworld. There are several methods you can use, each of which has pros and cons, so let's talk about them in more detail.

Palworld Will Basically Let Gamers Play as Team Rocket

It's the season of Pokemon clones, but Palworld may be the most unique of the lot with a dark twist that lets players take on a Team Rocket-like role.

How to Remove the Wanted Status in Palworld

Regardless of how you became a wanted person, everyone around you will now want to kill you to get the reward. Such situations are very unpleasant and significantly interfere with comfortable gameplay. As mentioned above, there are generally three main methods you can use to remove wanted status. This mechanic is similar to the one used in the Hitman or GTA series of games.

Just Die

The easiest and fastest method would be to just die. Everyone who was looking for you will stop doing so because they will assume you are dead. The main disadvantage of this method is that you will need to go back to the place of death and pick up the backpack containing all your stuff. This is not difficult to do because it will be illuminated by a beam that is visible from almost everywhere if you are nearby, and will also be marked with an icon on the map if you are far away. This is a very quick and easy option, especially if you have a few items, but it's not good for those who are far away from the base.

Run Away

The alternative would be to simply run away and find some kind of shelter where you will not be found or searched for. This method is better than the previous one because you don't have to go back for your stuff, but at the same time, running away from trouble, you can get so far away that it will take you a long time to get back to the base.

This option will be a good way out of the situation if you have already gone far from the base. Thus, if you have killed someone or entered a forbidden area, and now they are seeking you, just move back in the direction of your base, maneuver, and hide, and then they will leave you alone.

Palworld: Burning Questions Answered

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about Palworld, the game where pocket monsters use guns and are fought with guns.

Eliminating Witnesses

The last and probably the most difficult method is to eliminate witnesses. If you have the right weapon and PIDFs have not yet appeared nearby, try to kill everyone who saw you commit the crime. If you do it quickly, the Wanted Status will disappear, and you can continue playing safely. On the other hand, if you die while killing witnesses, you will again lose Wanted Status, so it's a win-win situation.
