Shield Sledding

Shield Sledding

Slide down hills on your equipped shield. Jump, press G to arm (in the air or right after takeoff), then land to start sledding. Speed follows the hill — shield tier affects durability wear, not how fast you go.

Works in multiplayer. Everyone playing needs the mod installed.

  Manual install

  1. Install BepInExPack Valheim.

  Releasefolder, copy the ModdedWolf-ShieldSledding folder into Valheim:

  Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\ModdedWolf-ShieldSledding\

  Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\ModdedWolf-ShieldSledding\ShieldSledding.dll

  BepInEx\config\ModdedWolf. ShieldSledding.cfg

  How to use it

  1. Equip a shield that still has durability.

  2. Jump on purpose — walking off a cliff without pressing jump does not count.

  3. Press G while airborne or right after takeoff (changeable in config).

  4. Land to start sledding. By default any ground works; raise

  MinimumSlopein config if you want steeper hills only.

  Controls while sledding

  • []A / D — Steer[/]

    []W — Lean forward, small speed boost (ground or water only)[/]

    []S — Brake (ground or water only)[/]

    []Space — Jump — you stay in sled mode[/]

    []G — Quit sledding[/]

    []Esc — Quit sledding[/]

    Sledding ends if you press G or Esc, get hit by a creature or player, sink in deep water (too slow to skim), die, or your shield breaks from wear. At 6 m/s or faster you can skim across water instead of swimming.

    Combat & damage while sledding

    • []Falls and impacts — No health loss — damage goes to shield durability instead[/]

      []Creature or player attack — Knocked off the sled, staggered, no health loss[/]

      While armed (after G, before landing), hits are blocked with no shield wear — you stay on your feet.
