Palworld Multiplayer Guide
Enter the Arena
Once you reach the Arena, simply walk up to the Arena door and enter to wait for an opponent.
The Arena entrance works similarly to that of Tower Entrances, but it has no countdown timer while waiting for other players.
Wait for Your Opponent
After you interact with the Arena Door, a second Player must interact with the door as well to begin the PvP.
There is currently no way to get matched against a player in another World, so you and your opponent must be in the same server.
Arena Guide
4v4 Battles
Once inside, you will be allowed to choose 3 Pals to fight alongside you in combat.
One main Pal will serve as your partner in the Arena, which you can mount and use its skill actively, while the other two use their Skills independently.

Knock Out Pal Tamer to Win
To win an Arena Match, you need to knock out the opposing Pal Tamer.
Combine your own weapons with your Pal's Skills to deal damage and defeat your opponent!

You Can Also Knock Out All Pals
Alternatively, you can also defeat your opponent by beating all 3 of their Pals.
Defeating Pals may be easier depending on your opponent, since Pals are less likely to dodge, and they also have bigger hitboxes compared to players, making them easy targets.
Ammo and Consumables are Refunded
After an Arena Match, all Ammo and Consumables used during the fight are refunded, so you do not have to worry about wasting materials and resources for a friendly sparring match.

Possible PvP Meta
Meta Legendary Weapons and Armor
To be competitive in a PvP game mode, you'll want to have the best weapons and armour that you can craft using Schematics. Legendary Weapon and Legendary Armor Schematics can rarely drop from defeating rare Alpha Pal Bosses!

Meta Pal Type Combinations
Type (Theoretical) | Super Effective | Resistant |
---|---|---|
Strategy for PvP as of this writing is speculative.
There are predictions on what may be good Pals to use in Pal vs Pal battles within PvP. Dual-Type Pals may be viable picks in the PvP scene, with Fire Type taking lead since they are strong against two other elements.
There are no known Fire-Electric Pals in the game, but having this Dual-Type can mean cancelling out its weakness to Water attacks and punishing them with Electric skills.
It is likely that Water Types will be in a high demand for PvP to counter the abundance of Fire Types in the game.
