DualSwords

v0.4.1·Updated 2026-07-31

Adds craftable dual weapons to Valheim

About this mod Author’s original text

SunRay's DualSwords

Dual Swords does not try to turn every one-handed weapon into a dual-wield option.

Instead, it follows the way Valheim already handles paired weapons. Vanilla paired knives and dual axes are single crafted items, not two separate weapons equipped at the same time.

Features

  • Uses the Swords skill
  • Custom item icons
  • Designed to fit naturally into vanilla progression
  • English and Russian localization

Installation

Install with a mod manager such as r2modman or Mod Manager.

Manual installation:

  • Install BepInEx for Valheim.
  • Install Jotunn.
  • Extract this mod into your BepInEx/plugins folder.

Known limitations

  • Uses the vanilla dual-axe animation set.
  • Weapon positioning may not be perfect in every animation.
  • Balance is experimental.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
