Valheim’s Update 0.148.6 is now live, adding a new set of tweaks, changes, and fixes for the early access survival game. If you’re a fan of all things harpoon, you may feel dread and terror as you look over the patch notes, as they announce that your favored weapon is no longer usable on bosses.
Update 0.148.6 also makes boss drops float on water, increases the space provided by reinforced chests, tweaks the battle axe so that it more easily hits multiple enemies, and brings a variety of other fixes.
