When catching firearm-wielding creatures inPalworld, a low chance of success usually deters any would-be monster-tamers from trying. But one explorer managed to capture a wildly overleveled creature and beat the whopping 3-in-10,000 odds.

Throwing caution to the wind and scoffing at those odds, the player did eventually catch Jormuntide in its round prison, with only a handful of attempts too. Despite facing monumental odds, the game’s reward only amounted to a slightly anticlimactic 186 XP, but having a Pal that’s triple your strength is its own reward I guess.

Commenters were quick to note that the player seems to have used up all their luck for the year - surely the odds can’t get much better than this. “Don’t go to a casino anytime soon,” one player jokes. “You need to stay at home… lightning be waiting for you outside,” says another.

Palworld trainers/builders/sweatshop-managers have been messing around in the early access game since its launch. Some players areprepping for the upcoming PvP modes by hoarding 300 Pal Spheresthat can catch rival creatures. Another player discovered aglitch that literally flings you into the atmosphere. We should see more fun stuff crop up too, asover 2 million players regularly log into the game at the same time.
