Valheim Armory is a small mod designed to fill gaps in the valheim ecosystem, making all playstyles feel supported at each biome.
This mod is balanced to be mostly lore friendly with a preference for fun and enjoyable scaling and mechanics. This mod is highly configurable, you can use all of it, parts or tune it as you need.
Got a bug to report or just want to chat about the mod? Drop by the discord or github.
This mod will always have an up-to-date English localization, as that is what I can provide as its author. I occassionally generate missing translations with ChatGPT to fill in for un-trasnlated languages, however I am always open to community edits or new translations.
If you would like to contribute a new translation, or improve an existing one please feel free to reach out to me or provide a translation file in the same format as one of the existing ones. Found here

Everything is optionally configurable through the ingame mod configuration UI provided by BepinEx.
Otherwise a configuration file located at /BepInEx/config/MidnightsFX.ValheimArmory.cfg contains all of the configuration.
Configuration is server enforced your client will adopt to using whatever configuration is specified on the server when connecting.
Most configuration values are updated in real-time. Tune your weapons quickly!
Current configuration options:
- Damage
- Damage per level
- Recipe
- Stamina cost
- Block amount
- block per level
- Crafted amount (where applicable)
- movement speed (where applicable)
- parry bonus (where applicable)
- bow draw/crossbow reload time
- crafting recipe
- crafting station used
- min level required to craft
- recipe enabled
- item enabled
Q. Valheim Enchanting System doesn't support these weapons?
- A. There is a VES config available my discord.
Q. Epic Loot doesn't automatically drop these weapons, what gives?
- A. Epic Loot configs are available on my discord and the Epic loot discord. These should be placed in the Epicloot patches folder .
Q. I want to edit the text for a weapon, how do I do that?
- A. All of the localizations are added to
BepinEx/config/ValheimArmorymodifying localizations in that folder will result in them being different in game. Changes do require a game restart to take effect.
Q. Why does x weapon look bad?
- A.
- This is my first Unity, and Valhiem mod
- My original goal with modding was to just make a singular new arrow
- I'm not a gamedev, I suck at textures, modeling and don't know the unity loaders
- I'm learning as I go, and welcome feedback
- I do this in my few hours of free time, sometimes I don't have that time
Potential Spoilers!
Boss Weapon Release roadmap
- Additional weapon types for all existing bosses
The Boss weapon roadmap will take a number of updates. Feel free to submit ideas to the github.
Potential Spoilers!
- Filling out boss weapons for most/all playstyles (long term)
- Chitin Shield
- Better VFX for weapons
- More magic (eitr) powered weapons (non-staves, post Ashlands update)
Just download with your favorite modmanager!
Toss the ValheimArmory folder and files into your plugins folder. Technically the only thing required is the ValheimArmory.ddl, configs will generate on first run.
