Valheim has many different gameplay mods that can add flavor and excitement to various aspects of the game. One of the best mods available is the EpicLoot mod by RandyKnapp. Like RPG games, this mod adds different rarity tiers to loot drops with powerful effects and bonuses. This results in players being able to hunt for rare and high-quality gear, as the attached bonuses can be extremely powerful and very helpful when taking on Valheim's difficult bosses.
