Once you’ve been playing Palworld for a while and unlocked guns, you’ll quickly realize how much of a resource sink ammunition can be. Rather than using your Ingots, or even Refined Ingots, to craft Armors, Pal Spheres or base structures, you’re pouring them into bullets.
On the other hand, you can also purchase ammunition for multiple weapons from Merchants in both Duneshelter and Fisherman’s Point. However, this option costs money, and while you can sell Nails, Schematics, or even Pals in exchange for a monetary boost, there’s a better way.
Why you should kill (or capture) a Black Marketeer in PalWorld
Black Marketeers are found in a few locations across Palpagos, and by visiting them, you can either sell your own Pals or buy rarer ones from them. As long as you don’t question how they got their hands on these Pals, you can quickly build your Paldeck this way.
However, if you value your morals and want to earn redemption for purchasing these contraband Pals, you can kill the Black Marketeers, and in doing so, you’ll soon be blessed with more Gold than you know what to do with. (Hint: buy ammunition.)
When you kill or capture a Black Marketeer, you can net yourself between 20,000 and 30,000 Gold, as well as two Gold Keys which can be used to open golden chests, thus earning you more Gold.
If you go down the killing route, once you’ve downed a Black Marketeer, leaving the area and returning a little while later will respawn the Vendor, leaving you free to peruse their stock for more rare Pals and then kill them all over again. You can quickly earn hundreds of thousands this way.
If you capture a Black Marketeer and put them on your base, you have infinite chances to get Pals that you’ve not managed to capture. To get new Pals in their roster, you can just return your Black Marketeer to your Palbox before putting him back on your base; doing this results in new stock and more chances to get different Pals.
A word of warning if you choose to host a Black Marketeer at your base, though; they tend to become very depressed, very quickly. My Black Marketeer’s Sanity Meter is constantly hovering at around 1%. He’s developed an eating disorder due to stress and just follows me around the base staring menacingly.
