⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Simple and effective: no more fumbling to equip your shield after switching weapons.
- Decent community trust with 177 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Actively maintained—last updated April 2026, so it's likely compatible with current Valheim versions.
👎 Cons
- Niche use case: only helps if you regularly switch between one-handed and other weapons.
