If you’ve received a warning that reads “Criminal Activity Underway” in Palworld, then you’re probably wondering what it means and what you did wrong. We have the answer to this pressing question. Stick around for an overview of in-game laws and what to do when you see this warning or wind up on the Wanted list.
At times, the Palpagos Islands of Palworld may seem like a lawless land, chock-full of hostile Pals, enemy groups, and deadly raids. While the game was dubbed “Pokemon with guns” way ahead of its launch earlier this year, this doesn’t mean the survival RPG’s world is any less strict when it comes to treating its creatures with respect. In actuality, there are several rules that you must follow to keep your reputation in check. Otherwise, you could wind up wanted by PIDF Guards. So, what causes the “Criminal Activity Underway” warning in Palworld? Here are the details.

What Does “Criminal Activity Underway” Mean in Palworld?
Taking part in Palworld’s illegal activities will result in a warning that reads “Criminal Activity Underway.” Essentially, this just means you broke a law. However, you won’t be told exactly what you did wrong, which can cause some confusion if you’re unsure which activities are illegal.
To save you the headache, here’s a revision of the local laws in Palworld:
- Do not attack non-hostile NPCs, such as merchants and guards.
- Do not capture humans in Pal Spheres.
- Do not trespass on Wildlife Sanctuary grounds.
- Do not capture Pals that live in Wildlife Sanctuaries.
What to Do When You Break a Law in Palworld
Breaking any one of the laws in Palworld will result in a warning. Once you’ve received the prompt, you’ll have a window of a couple of minutes to stop whatever it is that you’re doing wrong. If you continue to engage in illegal activities, then you’ll quickly earn a “Wanted” status, which can be tough to overcome.
My advice? Hang tight for a few minutes to figure out what you did wrong and wait out the initial warning. Generally speaking, there’s really no benefit to breaking the game’s local laws, anyway, so it’s best to follow the rules.
Of course, there are ways around these guidelines if you’re looking to fill out your Paldeck with species found inside Wildlife Sanctuaries. The simple solution: Visit at night while guards can’t see you.
How to Remove Wanted Status in Palworld
Without mincing words, removing your “Wanted” status in Palworld will require you to fight off PIDF Guards or die trying. Following through with either of these options will effectively nullify your status, and the PIDF will leave you be.
Depending on the progress you’ve made in the game, defeating armed guards can prove a major challenge, even with powerful Pals at your side. However, it’s not impossible. As long as you’ve reached the level cap and go in with a solid team, then you might actually stand a chance. If not, though, letting the guards take you out might actually save you some time and trouble.
