Introduction

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.

Edit Predator Pals Setting

In the PalWorldSettings.ini file, find the OptionSettings section. The relevant configuration key is EnablePredatorBossPal.

Configuration values

Use one of the following values depending on the desired outcome:

SettingValueResult
Enable Predator PalsTruePredator Boss Pals can spawn in the world
Disable Predator PalsFalsePredator Boss Pals do not spawn in the world

Example entry

If the setting already exists, change its value. If it is missing, add it within the OptionSettings list.

ini
EnablePredatorBossPal=True

To disable Predator Pals, use:

ini
EnablePredatorBossPal=False
Tip

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.

Save and Apply Changes

After editing, save the file in the Configuration tab (raw text view).

Restart the server

Then restart your Palworld game server so the new setting is properly loaded.

Warning
