Get Keys in Chests

Opening Chests Palworld

Chest Keys
Copper Key	Silver Key	Gold Key

You can get Copper Keys, Silver Keys, Gold Keys a part of the drop pool of regular chests found randomly across the map. These regular chests are signified by their yellowish or purplish glow. Chests with a red glow require keys to unlock.

Unlocking regular chests in higher level areas such as the Desert area or Snow areas (like the Astral Mountain) have higher chances of giving higher rarity keys from regular chests (the rarest being Gold Keys).

Get Keys by Completing Raids

Raid Warning Palworld

There is also a chance for keys to drop from defeating enemies participating in a raid against your base.

Wild Pals and humans may raid your base independently or in tandem. After successfully defending your base, there is a possibility that the raid party will drop keys as part of their loot.
