VALHALL: Harbinger developer, Blackrose Arts, recently released a new update that fixed bugs and added new features.
The dual-wield and shield system is one of the best additions in this update as it allows players to use weapons in both hands or they can even hold up a torch on one hand to illuminate the area around them. It seems the default is a torch on the left hand and a sword on the right hand. But you can switch them if you prefer swinging a sword on the left hand. And if you do, the game engine still allows attacking using the torch on the right hand.

Main Known Issues
- Customized weapon equip doesn't work correctly after the latest inventory rework.
- Latency has too big an influence on the block (VFX could not work as well as block quality is not what we are aiming for).
- Some bots in single-player have "None" instead of name.
- In rare cases, the game process doesn't finish on its own for a long time.
- Weapon impulse bugging. Sometimes no impulse or too big.
- Characters don't play movement animations correctly. We need to fix upper body bones rotation during movement animations.
- [Important] Some bugs can appear due to conflict with temp/saved files of previous VALHALL versions on your PC. If you meet an unlisted issue then:
- delete all game saves here: C:/Users/YourName/AppData/Local/ VALHALL
- uninstall the game through Steam
- delete manually game folder in your Steam folder
