How to Get Xenovader

Catch one at a meteorite event, a random world event with no fixed location and the cheapest way in. The mapped fallback is 2 Scientist camp squads across 3 published camps.

Camps are the only fixed points

A meteorite event has no fixed location, so there are no coordinates to give for it. The mapped fallback is fielded by two Scientist camp squads, one in a treasure room and one at an entrance, and 3 Scientist camp points are published on the main island. Those 3 camps are what the circles sit on.

[-344, -547]
  • Scientist camp, north: Approximate area around the Scientist camp at [-194, 255]. Check all three camps, any of them can hold Xenovader.
  • Scientist camp, east: Approximate area around the Scientist camp at [-299, 459]. Two of the three camps field a squad, so it is worth checking this one too.
  • Scientist camp, south east: Approximate area around the Scientist camp at [-394, 446]. Three camps are marked and two hold a squad, so sweep all of them.
The route
1Wait for a meteorite event and fly to itThe event flags itself on the world map when it lands, and it is the cheapest way in because nothing has to be cleared to reach it. It can land anywhere, and the impact site leaves behind Meteorite Fragment nodes you can gather from.Random location, marks on map
2Bring Dragon damage before you leaveXenovader is pure Dark, and Dragon is the only element carrying a bonus against Dark. It is nocturnal, so it is at its most active at night, and an event that lands after dark is the one you want to answer.Dark, weak to Dragon
3Throw a Legendary Sphere, not a GigaRarity 7 at an encounter you cannot schedule is not the place to save spheres. Take it as low as you dare, put your team on passive so nothing overkills it, and throw the best tier you own.Rarity 7, unscheduled encounter
4Fall back on the three Scientist campsThree are published on the main island, at [-194, 255], [-299, 459] and [-394, 446]. Two Scientist camp squads field a single Xenovader each, one in a second floor treasure room and one at a first floor entrance, and neither has a known level.2 squads, 3 mapped camps
5Lose it and there is nothing to retryIt is not a field boss, so there is no arena to re-enter and no respawn timer to wait out. A failed catch costs you either the event, which returns on its own schedule, or a camp, which has to be cleared again from the outside.Not a field boss

Other ways in

4 alternatives checked against the world event route
Camp squadReliable
Clear a Scientist camp instead

This route is always available rather than waiting on an event. It costs more: a camp has to be fought through, the 2 squads field one Xenovader each, and neither has a known level, so you plan for whatever the camp is scaled to. Three camps are marked and either of two can hold a squad.

BreedingBlocked
Xenovader cannot be bred

It is not breedable, and the only pair that produces one is Xenovader with Xenovader, which needs the Pal you are trying to get. No cross-species combination works, so a Breeding Farm cannot help.

Not a routeBlocked
No wild spawns, no boss, no egg

It never spawns in the wild, is not a field boss or raid target, has no quest source, no dungeon spawn, and does not hatch from any of the 27 egg types. The meteorite event and the two Scientist camp squads are the only ways to get one.

The other alienSeparate
Xenogard

Paldeck 146 is the Dragon alien to this one at 145, and it is rarer in the same places: it appears in one Scientist camp squad against two here. It is rideable, it drops High Quality Pal Oil alongside the Meteorite Fragment, and its party bonus is energy weapon damage rather than full-auto damage.

Paldeck 145 and 1461 camp against 2How to get Xenogard
The Scientist camp squads are not tied to a specific one of the three marked camps, so if the first one you check is empty, try the other two.
There is no field boss version of Xenovader to fall back on. A failed catch at the meteorite event means waiting for another one, and a failed catch at a camp means clearing it again.
Why bother
Unknown Invader adds 100 percent damage to the last bullet fired from a full-auto weapon while Xenovader is in the party, which turns the end of every magazine into a burst of real damage. Its only drop is Meteorite Fragment, 3 to 10 per catch, an item just three Pals in the whole game carry, and it works Lumbering 3 and Transporting 2 at a base.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do you find Xenovader in Palworld 1.0?

At a meteorite event, a random world event with no fixed location. The route you can plan around is the Scientist camps: 2 squads field it across 3 camps published on the main island. It has no wild spawn points anywhere.

Where do meteor events spawn?

Nowhere fixed. A meteorite can land anywhere in the world, and the event marks itself on your own map when it starts, which is the only pointer you get ahead of time.

Can you breed a Xenovader?

No. It cannot be bred, and the only pair producing one is Xenovader with Xenovader. It also does not hatch from any egg pool, so there is no hatching route either.

What is Xenovader weak to?

It is pure Dark, so Dragon is the only element with a bonus against it. It is also nocturnal, which affects when it is active rather than where it appears.

Is the Xenovader full-auto bonus worth a slot?

Unknown Invader doubles the damage of the last bullet fired from a full-auto weapon, so it pays off on an assault rifle build and does nothing for a bow or a shotgun. It does not stack with a second Xenovader.
