Valheim Armory
Valheim Armory is a continuation of Valheim Additions. A small mod designed to fill gaps in the valheim ecosystem.
The goal of this mod is to create a more diverse but not sprawling selection of weapons to make all playstyles feel fully supported at each level.
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.
Disclaimer:
- 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

Here is a sample gallery of weapons added by this mod.
Below is more information on all of the items added, what tier they are in, where they are crafted and at what progression point. All of the sections below are expandable to view the details.
Boss Weapons
Eikthyrs
These weapons are split into two groups, one requiring the workbench and the other the forge. Meaning that some of these weapons will require metals from the black forest.

Axes
Greataxes (2H Axes)
Battleaxes are a fun but very challenging playstyle in valheim. They are slow so you generally need to kill your opponets before they can kill you, which happens fast.

- Note: 2H Daggers will float infront of item wall mounts due to their separated attachment style. They display normally on an item stand.
The addition of 2H daggers at lower tiers also provides you a way to focus on that playstyle all of the way up till the current end of the game.

- Chitin Sword (Abyssal Sword) is an early game sword sitting between bronze and iron but with the unique difference of inflicting some blunt damage, making it less useless against all of the enemies in the swamp
Configuration
Everything is optionally configurable through the ingame mod configuration UI provided by BepinEx.
Otherwise a configuration file located at /BepInEx/config/com.midnightsfx.ValheimArmory.cfg contains all of the configuration.
Please note that basically ALL of the configuration is server sided. Which means that it requires a restart of your game to take effect. This allows me to ensure that the server and the client are always in sync with the details of everything- like how much damage you did to that greydwarf.
Current configuration options:
- Damage
- Damage per level
- Recipe
- Stamina cost
- Block amount
- block per level
- Crafted amount (where applicable)
FAQ
Q. The bronze crossbow costs dragon tears?
- A. Delete the config for the bronze crossbow (or your whole config file).

Changelog
1.3.3
- Fixed wood bolt triggering the invalid recipe warning
- Fixed a particle mock for arrow feathers not resolving on some versions of valheim
- Rebalance of most boss weapons, and a few outlier non-boss weapons. Recipes are slightly more expensive overall and damage is generall down across the board.
This primarily brings boss weapons in line with the next tier weapon minus a small bit. The balance change is just to the default config values.
If you want to keep your weapons more powerful continue using your existing config, defaults will only be applied if you do not have a value set (new or deleted config).
