If you fancy chopping up your Pals into little bits for a handful of resources in Palworld, then you may want to consider butchering them.
Palworld is often referred to as Pokemon with guns, implying it’s a slightly more mature version of the kid-friendly game. Of course, what many tend to omit is that while you can give your Pals guns and force them into slave labor, you can also chop them up, something fortunately left out of Pokemon. If you’re keen on butchering your Pals or simply want to know what the fuss is all about, you’re in luck. We’ve got you covered in the guide below.

What Happens if You Butcher a Pal in Palworld?
Butchering a Pal in Palworld will kill it, removing it from the game completely. The act of butchering it will be blurry, but you will still hear the Pal being chopped up. Butchered Pals will drop loot, guaranteeing you several resources you may not be able to get from simply catching or knocking out a Pal normally. It’s important to note that butchering Pals is illegal in Palworld and will get you a Wanted rating if you’re caught doing it. Make sure to do it in a secluded location away from prying eyes, such as back at your base.
