Predator Pals are powerful boss pals that can spawn in the world of Palworld. This guide shows you how to enable or disable Predator Pals on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld game server by manually editing the correct configuration file.
In the PalWorldSettings.ini file, find the OptionSettings section. The relevant configuration key is EnablePredatorBossPal.
Use one of the following values depending on the desired outcome:
| Setting | Value | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Predator Pals | True | Predator Boss Pals can spawn in the world |
| Disable Predator Pals | False | Predator Boss Pals do not spawn in the world |
If the setting already exists, change its value. If it is missing, add it within the OptionSettings list.
EnablePredatorBossPal=True
To disable Predator Pals, use:
EnablePredatorBossPal=False
Check existing syntax first
Palworld server settings are often part of a longer OptionSettings line in PalWorldSettings.ini. If your file already contains this structure, add EnablePredatorBossPal=True or EnablePredatorBossPal=False within the existing list instead of creating a separate section.
After editing, save the file in the Configuration tab (raw text view).
Then restart your Palworld game server so the new setting is properly loaded.
