New Valheim Mod Amps up The Game’s Kicking Mechanic of All Things

One great thing about games is getting to enjoy a great combat system. Be it games like God of War or more straightforward fighting titles like Mortal Kombat XI or Tekken 7, there’s nothing like plowing through your enemies with your bare hands and feet.

Valheim boasts a pretty satisfying combat system but the pre-programmed kicking mechanic doesn’t really “kick”. But now, thanks to the new Give ‘Em The Boot mod, that can be remedied.

Depending on the weight or size of the enemy at the end of your virtual boot, the mod helps you fling enemies in various directions:  lighter enemies, like the Greydwarf, will actually be propelled high into the air while heavier enemies might not get launched, but will definitely be knocked back farther than usual.

Additionally, the mod allows you to kick while you’re armed with a weapon so if you find yourself overwhelmed by beasts, you can add a volley of kicks to your sword slashes.

The best part about this mod is it levels up as you boost your unarmed skill so the higher the skill, the more powerful your kick. Wearing heavier leg armor will add even more force to your kicks which will enable you to get a bonus from staggered enemies.

The mod also, very smartly if we might add, takes loots from monsters into account. Booting your enemies where it hurts most won’t mess with the loot you get from them. The considerable amount of loot won’t get kicked up into the sky or off a cliff, they’ll just be knocked back a bit so you can easily collect the spoils.

If all this isn’t enough, words like BOOT, YEET and BYE that pop up every time you kick someone are bound to make you chuckle.

Give Em The Boot is the latest in a long line of mods to surface for Valheim. The last one to pop up actually made the game harder instead of easier. Quite the trip, that one.
