When catching firearm-wielding creatures in Palworld, 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.
In a clip posted on the survival game's subreddit, one player shows their repeated attempts at capturing a Level 45 Jormuntide Pal while using low-tier spheres and sitting at a meager Level 16 themselves. Due to being critically underleveled and unequipped, the chances of a successful capture sat at a sad 0.03% (or 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 are prepping for the upcoming PvP modes by hoarding 300 Pal Spheres that can catch rival creatures. Another player discovered a glitch that literally flings you into the atmosphere. We should see more fun stuff crop up too, as over 2 million players regularly log into the game at the same time.
For now, check out how to farm Ancient Civilization parts in Palworld .

Ubisoft's repeatedly delayed multiplayer pirate sim, Skull and Bones, has entered the high seas today, and a promotional ship wheel-shaped controller is easily the coolest thing about this launch.
A Palworld player has discovered that mounting a Pal while butchering it allows players to get resources without killing the creature. Palworld is a survival game set in a colorful world where players build bases and catch creatures known as Pals. While Pals can fight, they engage in other activities like farming and dungeon exploration.
Presumably not ready to leave Attack on Titan behind after its anime finale, one Palworld player has recreated the series' iconic central city on a massive scale, purportedly without the use of any mods to make things easier.
AMD's 3D V-Cache chips are some of the best gaming processors on the market and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU is currently available for just $319 US with a B450 motherboard, making it a great deal for mainstream PC builders.
Xbox 360 Arcade enjoyers might have fond memories of Geometry Wars, a series of excellent top-down bullet hell shooters that's since made its way to other platforms. Now it's back! Kind of. One Steam Next Fest demo unofficially emulates the series' blinding neon style and inserts it into the Vampire Survivors formula.
NVIDIA is prepping a new entry-level and small form factor workstation GPU, the RTX 2000 Ada, & most likely feature a sub-75W TDP.
A Palworld player managed to do something only a few ever get to pull off: they caught an Alpha Pal in one throw against very slim odds. It's not easy to catch Alpha Pals in Palworld, which is why it's really amazing that RNG and luck were on their side.
Students, busy-bodies, stoners, and gamers have been chilling at their desks with Lofi Girl - the YouTube channel featuring lofi beats and a studious anime girl - for almost a decade. One Steam Next Fest demo now makes that experience kind of playable with a life sim that's perfect for serial procrastinators.
Steam Next Fest is back for another round of non-stop demos, including one survival game with more in common with Palworld than just its genre.
Palworld trainers are already preparing for the upcoming player-versus-player modes, most notably by hoarding 300 Pal Spheres that can nab other players' creature friends.
Cities: Skylines II developer Colossal Order has a uniquely close relationship with its community. The original Cities: Skylines came out in 2015 and gobbled up the audience that was left behind by EA’s SimCity, which came out in 2013 and was a busted mess. Cities: Skylines scratched that urban-planning itch, plus it cost just $30. The game came first to PC, Mac and Linux with modest hardware requirements, and it hit consoles within two years. Critically, Cities: Skylines also supported mods through the Steam Workshop, allowing players to add their own tools to the game and share those features with others.
