Shields in Palworld can be real lifesavers – if you know they exist.
Palworld uses technologies from a wide variety of eras. From a simple bow, for example, to a musket and a machine gun. It’s no wonder that some archaic items are left out, but that can also turn out to be a mistake, as one Reddit user discovered.
Palworld: Shields here are not made of wood and iron
Reddit user Wulfgang97 played Palworld until level 37 out of 50 to realize that the Shields can be quite useful. He considered this technology to be a barrier that needs to be placed somewhere to create a protective shield.

Wulfgang97 wanted don’t waste pointsto unlock the shield, which is useless to him. It was only in a video for Palworld that he saw the blue bar above a player’s life points and recognized the error.
How do shields work in Palworld? There is one in your inventory separate slot for shields. You can unlock the first protection of this kind at a primitive workbench at the very beginning of the game.
Once equipped, damage is initially absorbed by your shield, only when it drops to zero does it affect your life points. Your shield recharges itself. There are even stronger versions of this item later in the game.

Clueless, but in good and numerous company
As can be seen in the comments under the Reddit post, Wulfgang97 was far from alone in his misjudgment. Of course, many also report similar mishaps.
So held alexanderpas the shields for something that one placed in the baseto protect them from raids.
Still others, like for example ezaF19thought the shields would be like in other games carried in hand and actively used to block attacks.
Wulfgang97’s Reddit post enlightened numerous players. Have you also had an epiphany or did you already know about the shields and how they work? Are there other mechanics in Palworld that you only understood after many hours of play? Are these things just poorly explained in the game? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.
