MoreCrossbows

A Valheim mod which adds several crossbows and bolts.

Features

Progression-appropriate crossbow options for every 'age'.
New bolts to provide elemental damage.
New recipes for crafting the existing bolts from Workbench or Forge.

Detailed list of new items

Wooden Crossbow
Bronze Crossbow
Iron Crossbow
Silver Crossbow
Blackmetal Crossbow
Wood Bolt
Fire Bolt
Poison Bolt
Silver Bolt
Frost Bolt
Lightning Bolt (change config to enable)
Lightning Arrow (change config to enable)

Rationale

During my first playthrough of Mistlands, the Arbalest fundamentally changed my experience of the game. I love that thing. On subsequent playthroughs I found myself wanting progression-appropriate crossbows to compliment the bows. So I made some 🙂

The reasoning behind the Lighting Bolts and Arrows is similar. I wanted a way to have some fun with Eitr that didn't demand I change armor and weapons.

Installation

NOTE: Users that are upgrading should delete their config file and run the game to let the plugin generate a new one. Settings can and do change between versions, and old configs may be incompatible.
