Palworld Gender Settings Debunked: Body Type 1 vs Type 2 and What Pocketpair Actually Changed
Because early survival guides featured conflicting information, several misconceptions about Palworld's body choices continue to circulate:
- Myth 1: Body Type 1 has a wider hitbox, making you easier for Pals to hit.
Reality: In-game collision meshes for players utilize a standard capsule collider. Whether you pick an exaggerated, muscular Type 1 build or a slender Type 2 model, wild Pal projectiles and melee swipes interact with the exact same mathematical boundary volume.
- Myth 2: Armor models look wildly different depending on biological sex.
Reality: Palworld scales armor assets dynamically across both body profiles. While armors reflect the shoulder-width or waist contours of the underlying base mesh, pieces do not feature hyper-sexualized differences or altered protection statistics. A Metal Armor set yields identical defense regardless of silhouette.
- Myth 3: Changing body shapes resets your character level or inventory.
Reality: Interacting with the Antique Mirror only adjusts visual mesh values. Your experience points, technology progress, equipped accessories, and active Pal team remain untouched.
