With about a week away from the release, Iron Gate uploaded the final preview of the “Hearth and Home” update of “Valheim”, the popular Viking survival game that swept the game earlier this year.
this”Fireplace and homeThe update will make some more important adjustments to weapons and combat to make “Walheim” more interesting outside of new food, home decoration and architectural works.
In its short preview, iron gate It is said that bow and two-handed axe weapons are becoming more and more balanced, making the choice of weapons healthier.
Since the release of “Walheim”, players have been using bows and arrows to deal with every enemy in the game, just because these weapons are so powerful that they will not expose users to too much risk.
In “Hearth and Home”, bows and arrows will have a longer drawing time to prevent players from shooting enemies quickly. For players with the highest level of bow and arrow skills in the game, this shortened draw time is especially obvious.
However, the endurance consumption when drawing the bow will be reduced. This is to give players more time to schedule their shots without depleting their entire stamina bar. It is also closely related to the increased draw time, which will keep the endurance consumption of the bow relatively the same as the current game version.
At the same time, the two-handed axe will gain a buff, making it easier to use. Since the release of “Walheim”, this weapon has been used by players to a large extent because its swing speed is extremely slow, making players vulnerable to counterattacks.
In Hearth and Home, the winding speed of the two-handed axe will be reduced, making the weapon slightly faster. Staggered damage and AoE capabilities have also been enhanced, making the two-handed axe the main weapon type for crowd control over groups of enemies.
Despite the gains, the weapon will still be on the slow side and will eventually be positioned as the weapon of choice for players who prefer more tactical combat methods.
Iron Gate mentioned that every weapon in the game has been adjusted for the “Hearth and Home” update, so once the first major update of “Valheim’s” arrives in September this year, players can expect their favorite weapons to feel a little different , For better or worse. 16.
