Best Glider in Palworld: Full Upgrade Ladder and Glider Pals
Updated 2026-07-23
Gliding is half of how you traverse Palpagos, and the ladder runs from a bundle of wood and cloth to a jet-propelled Wing Pack that flies outright. There's also a piece of it the in-game tech screen makes easy to miss — the top conventional glider's actual unlock — and a set of four Pals that quietly change what your equipped glider can do.
The Glider Ladder
Four conventional gliders, each a clean upgrade in hang time and control. The one that trips people up is the Hyper Glider: it unlocks in the glider technology line at Tech 52 with a real crafting recipe, sitting between Giga at 40 and the Wing Pack's endgame slot:
| Glider | Tech Lv | Key Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Parachute | 5 | 10 Wood, 2 Cloth |
 Mega Glider | 18 | 5 Wooden Board, 10 Bone, 20 Cloth |
 Giga Glider | 40 | 20 Refined Ingot, 100 Hardwood, 15 Carbon Fiber |
 Hyper Glider | 52 | 40 Pal Metal Ingot, 25 Carbon Fiber, 20 High Quality Cloth |
The Wing Pack: When Gliding Becomes Flying
At Tech 80 the ladder stops being a ladder: the Wing Pack is a portable glider that enables true flight, burning Wing Cells as fuel to propel you through the air. The build cost is pure endgame — 6 Paloxite Ingots worth of World Tree metallurgy, 20 AI Cores, and 20 Thermal Cores — but it's the single biggest traversal upgrade in the game, freeing your party slots from carrying a flying mount at all.
The Four Glider Pals
These Pals don't ride or fight from the party — their partner skills modify whatever glider you have equipped, and each one changes the flying style completely:
| Pal | What Your Glider Gains |
|---|---|
| Galeclaw | High-speed gliding, and you can shoot your weapon while airborne |
 Celaray | No fall damage, plus extended high-speed gliding |
 Killamari | Gentle floating for an extended time — the slow-descent specialist |
 Hangyu | Slow ascension while gliding — the only one that gains height |
Each has an element-variant twin with the same gliding effect (Celaray Lux, Killamari Primo, Hangyu Cryst), so you can match the copy you find first. Galeclaw is the meta pick — shooting mid-glide turns every descent into an attack run — while Hangyu's slow climb pairs absurdly well with the Wing Pack era's vertical maps.
