Palworldfeatures a lot of weapons to craft, unique pals to collect, and some fancy armor and headpieces to wear. You snag hats that are all about the looks and styling of your character, but then there are headgear items that go the other way, focusing on substance.

There are 17 hats for players to collect in the game and make their character stand out from the rest. Each item provides extra HP, Defense, and effects for your character as you wear them, and it is way better to have one than go without while exploring the game’s world.
