Palworld Player Wanted for Committing Assault Over 1,000 Times

gamerant.com:

A Palworld player finds themselves in an unusual predicament in their in-game world, being wanted for over 1000 charges of assault within the game. The breakout hit game from developer Pocket Pair gives players a variety of ways to interact with its expansive world through both Pals and NPCs. Aside from capturing new Pals, players are given the ability to build up their in-game Palworld base, challenge the game's bosses, and explore dungeons scattered throughout the world. However, players need to be particularly careful when dealing with the game's human NPCs.

Palworld features a variety of human NPC characters for players to interact with, serving several different purposes for helping players' in-game progression. Players can interact with both regular merchants to acquire new items and materials and Pal Merchants to buy rare Pals to add to their team or base. However, attacking the in-game NPCs can come at a heavy cost, with the in-game «Palpagos Island Defense Force» coming after the player. Now, one player has found themselves in particularly deep trouble with Palworld's police force.

Reddit user Full-Resolution-9485 shared their unusual situation on the Palworld subreddit, showing off their staggering in-game wanted level. The screenshot shows the player's predicament within the game, facing 1,002 charges of assault from the PIDF. Players within Palworld rack up assault charges by attacking either the in-game human NPCs or their own Pals, causing the PIDF to come after the player and attempt to kill them. Once a wanted level is acquired, players are forced to either die or attempt to run from the PIDF.

The unusual achievement within Palworld saw many fans in the post's replies speculating about how the player acquired such a high wanted level. Some fans pointed out that Palworld stacks up charges with each attack on an NPC, suggesting the player has attacked Palworld's NPCs more than a thousand times. Fans also suggested ways to avoid stacking your wanted level,
