A Shield in Palworld is equipped on your body and passively blocks incoming attacks. The Common Shield will be the one you start off with at level 4 and as you level, you will gain the Hyper Shield at level 43.
A Shield in Palworld can be the difference between a successful adventure into the wilderness or the walk of shame back to your fallen backpack.
Using a shield in Palworld
After creating the shield, you will automatically equip the shield and be able to use it in battle.
However, if you want to equip the shield like a regular weapon, you might be surprised that it differs from a traditional shield. Instead, it works like an energy shield that automatically blocks any incoming damage from Pals and other foes.
The first shield you will be able to build is the Common Shield at the Workbench. Here are all of the shields and their recipes for whatever level you are at in Palworld:
| Shield | Required Level | Recipe |
| Common Shield | Level four | Fiber x10 Wood x20 Stone x20 Paldium Fragment x10 Primitive Workbench |
| Mega Shield | Level 16 | Ancient Civilization Parts xFive Paldium Fragment x30 High Quality Workbench |
| Giga Shield | Level 28 | Ancient Civilization Parts x15 Paldium Fragment x50 High Quality Workbench |
| Hyper Shield | Level 43 | Ancient Civilization Parts x30 Paldium Fragment x100 High Quality Workbench |
If your shield is depleted during a fight, don’t worry about needing to find resources and heading back to your base to return it to full durability. You only have to avoid taking any damage for a short time before it begins to repair itself.
Leveling up your character, from the most basic shield in the early game to Mega, Giga, and Hyper Shields later on that will render you unbreakable during a skirmish.
So, there you have it. You know everything you need to use a shield in Palworld. Enjoy!
