[]Atgeir/Polearm Animation Fix
The atgeir/polearm animations have quite a few animation flaws since release, but I found the one on the first attack of the primary attack chain the hardest to ignore, so I fixed it. I may fix a few more of them in the future if I use atgeirs more regularly. I hope this helps you focus more on the action and fun instead of the animation flaw!
Before and After:
Source code available on github: https://github.com/Goldenrevolver/ValheimSpearModsAndFriends
A small animation fix mod for atgeir/polearm weapons, correcting hand and weapon misalignments during combat. With 26 endorsements and 613 downloads, it's a niche utility for players bothered by visual clipping. Last updated October 2023, so it may need testing with newer game versions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance for polearm users – no more floating hands or clipping
- Tiny mod, so it won't bloat your load order or tank performance
- Author is Goldenrevolver, known for quality fixes in the community
⚠️ Cons
- Only 26 endorsements – not widely tested, so compatibility with other animation mods is a gamble
- Last updated in October 2023 – might not work with the latest game patches
For Valheim players who love polearms but can't stand the janky hand positioning during attacks. If you're a perfectionist about animations and don't mind a niche fix, this is for you. Skip it if you rarely use atgeirs or if you're running a heavily modded setup where conflicts could arise.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple animation fix, just drop the files into your BepInEx/plugins folder – no extra config needed.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
- Test with a few different atgeir swings to see if the fix works as expected – if not, check for mod conflicts.
