New Stronghold - Oil Rig
An oil rig controlled by the Rayne Syndicate has appeared in the ocean! Take the fight head on or work together with your friends to defeat powerful enemies and disable enemy defenses!
Reaching this stronghold isn't easy, with anti-air pal-seeking lasers and turrets ready to fire at every turn, claiming this stronghold's vast and valuable resources challenges even the most seasoned Palworld player.
Egg Filled Monster Nests
