Summary

Q.How do I get a Predator Core in Palworld?

A.Predator Cores only drop from Rampaging (Predator) Pals added in the Feybreak update — you must find and defeat those uncapturable field‑boss Pals at their fixed spawn points to get cores. Spawns aren’t guaranteed, so use online spawn maps and area refresh tricks to farm them reliably.

More info

You get Predator Cores by defeating Predator (Rampaging) Pals — special, uncapturable field bosses added in the Feybreak update that drop one or more Predator Cores when killed. There are multiple Predator Pal locations across the map (Dot Esports lists 33 spots and per‑Pal drop quantities), they glow red and show “Rampaging” above their name, and they don’t appear on your in‑game map like normal bosses, so you have to go hunt them down. See a concise guide and drop table on Dot Esports for specifics. Dot Esports guide.

Practical farming tips: - Use an interactive spawn map (toggle the Predator/“Rampaging” filter) such as the Palworld interactive map to target fixed spawn points. - Predator Pals aren’t guaranteed to be present — leave the area, fast‑travel or return to the main menu, then return to force a respawn roll; they typically respawn on the next in‑game day. - Hunt at night or look for a red glow and the creepy music cue, and be ready with strong gear since they’re tougher than regular Pals. The Palworld wiki and Destructoid’s guide summarize spawn behavior and recommended tactics if you need more location or drop‑quantity details. Palworld Wiki – Predator Pals Destructoid guide.

Q.Can I use mods in Palworld?

A.Yes — Palworld doesn’t have official Steam Workshop support at launch, but community mods are already widespread on PC (mostly via Nexus Mods); Pocketpair has said official workshop support is planned “after launch,” and mods are best used offline or on private servers because updates and platform differences can break them or cause bans on official servers.
