According to developer Iron Gate Studios, one of Valheim’s<\/a> more popular weapon choices might receive a nerf. <\/p>\n

In an interview by the Washington Post<\/a>, Iron Gate Studios co-founder Henrik Törnqvist stated the bow and arrow is a “bit overpowered right now.” The developers have likely seen the data on the weapon and realized that most players are opting for it over melee weapons.<\/p>\n

The bow’s quick drawback speed and overall damage help it to be arguably the best weapon choice in Valheim. Most other weapons don’t even compare, with the bow also allowing for long-distance shots to avoid being hit.<\/p>\n

However, the developers seemingly want the choice to be a bit more difficult for players. There are far more melee weapons in the game that apparently aren’t being used as much due to the overpowered nature of the bow.<\/p>\n
