About BowSecondaryMultishot

From Thunderstore

Gives bows a secondary attack: a close-range multishot. Arrow amount scales with bow skill. Can fire different arrow types at the same time.

BowSecondaryMultishot

Gives bows a secondary attack, just like melee weapons have. Hold the secondary attack key with a bow equipped to draw and fire multishot arrows. Just like seen in the Elder cutscene.

Use key is the secondary attack key in the games control settings.

Features

  • Fires +1 more arrow for every 25 bow skill levels:

| Bow skill | Arrows per volley | |-----------|-------------------| | 0 - 24 | 2 | | 25 - 49 | 3 | | 50 - 74 | 4 | | 75 - 99 | 5 | | 100 | 6 |

  • Every arrow fired consumes one arrow from inventory.
  • Every arrow that hits gives bow skill XP.
  • Multishot arrows fly at half the normal arrow speed, balancing the multishot as a close-range attack.
  • Multishot has inbuild spread.
  • Multishot uses every arrow type you currently carry (on by default), so fire, frost, poison, etc. and normal arrows fly together. If the arrow amount of the multishot exceeds the amount of different arrow types in the player inventory, your equipped arrows will be fired.

Configuration

Settings are in BepInEx/config/com.example.bowsecondarymultishot.cfg and show up in the Valheim Configuration Manager.

| Setting | Default | What it does | |---------|---------|--------------| | LevelsPerExtraArrow | 25 | Every x bow skill levels adds one more arrow | | MaxArrows | 6 | Hard cap on arrows per volley | | Spread | 1.5 | Spread in degrees added to the bow's normal accuracy (0 = as tight as a normal shot) | | ArrowSpeedMultiplier | 0.5 | Arrow speed relative to a normal shot (1 = same speed). Slower arrows drop faster | | DamageMultiplier | 0.8 | Damage of each volley arrow relative to a normal shot (1 = same damage)| | FireAllArrowTypes | on | When on, the multishot fires one of every arrow type in your inventory (equipped type first, then the others in inventory order).| | PiercingArrows | off | When on, Multishot arrows pierce | | PierceNormalShots | off | When on, Normal arrows pierce | | PierceDamageMultiplier | 0.5 | Damage of an arrow after each enemy it pierces (1 = no loss)|
