Tone Down the Twang
- Made by WackyMole
This mod adjusts how bows scale with skill level in Valheim. Bows become extremely powerful at higher skill levels due to reduced draw time. This mod caps how fast you can draw, keeping things more balanced.
What It Does
By default, at skill 100, the minimum bow draw time becomes 0.5 seconds for most bows.
This mod lets you configure the default factor. You can set a more reasonable minimum, such as:
1.2 seconds for slower play
0.7 seconds for a mild nerf
This mod gives admins a "Min Bow Draw Time Factor" that allows you to change the default.2f to whatever you would like.
etc 2.5(m_drawDurationMin for most bows) x.2f =.5s
Changing this value will effect lower skills a bit, but not too much. It's a curve.

Vanilla Code
ItemDrop.ItemData currentWeapon = GetCurrentWeapon();
if (currentWeapon!= null && currentWeapon.m_shared.m_attack.m_bowDraw && m_attackDrawTime > 0f)
{
float skillFactor = GetSkillFactor(currentWeapon.m_shared.m_skillType);
float num = Mathf.Lerp(currentWeapon.m_shared.m_attack.m_drawDurationMin, currentWeapon.m_shared.m_attack.m_drawDurationMin * 0.2f, skillFactor);
if (!(num > 0f))
{
return 1f;
}
return Mathf.Clamp01(m_attackDrawTime / num);
}
return 0f;

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
