One Palworld Trick Can Help You Capture The Game's Most Notorious Outlaw

doesn't enforce any type of moral code on castaways. And that means they always find new ways to torment each other, NPC humans, and even Pals. While these ways to make life on the islands easier are often horrifying in theory, they also have a tendency to work well, making it beneficial to forgo ethics and morals when trying to survive as a Palworld Tamer, and making it possible to capture creatures with ease that would have been deadly encounters before.

The island has both regular merchants and Black Marketeers, who sell Pals that are more difficult to find in the wild.

The problem is that they can be tough to capture since attacking them leads to them pulling out a gun and fighting back.

Considering how useful Black Marketeers are for collecting Pals that are difficult to find and capture, turning one into a personal merchant at bases can be incredibly convenient. Luckily, there's a trick that keeps them from fighting back. Building a Hanging Trap next to the Black Marketeer grabs them right as it's finished being built. Then, placing a campfire under them keeps them trapped so that the castaway can capture them with ease. Reddit user u/Jjzeng shows off the move, capturing said villain with ease.

As such, it's possible that this method of trapping and capturing the Black Marketeer could be removed in the future, so use it while it's available.
