Valheim Weapons and How to Craft Them

Valheim is the current most-popular game on Steam right now with over 5 million active players and just as many weapons too! Okay, maybe not that many. With so many options to choose from when it comes to weapons, armor, and items, it’s impossible to know every single one off the top of your head (at least for the average player). Luckily, you don’t have to memorize all of the weapons as we’ve got a list of them right here! Unfortunately, you’ll still need to repair tools and weapons alike, so you’ll definitely need to keep some of these recipes handy if you are a pretty active weapons-user. With all of this being said, what are the Valheim weapons? How do you craft them, and what are the items spawn codes?

There you have it, folks. All of the weapons currently available in Valheim (as of 3/7/21). I’m sure that as time goes on, the game will evolve into an even larger world and that means adding even more weapons to the game, but for now that’s all we’ve got. I’d say it’s quite a hefty amount of weapons available to use, especially for a relatively recent game like Valheim. I can’t wait to see what other weapons Iron Gate Studios brings to the game in the future. Personally, I think the Blackmetal Knife, Blackmetal Sword, Blackmetal Atgeir, the Black Metal Shield, and the Black Metal Tower Shield sound super cool.
