The big Call to Arms update for Valheim is out now

Valheim has been upgraded with the Call to Arms update bringing in new content along with entirely new gameplay mechanics, while we all wait for a new biome.

The new Trinkets system sounds interesting, giving you a new item to wear that grants temporary adrenaline during battle giving you all new perks. You will only gain adrenaline while you have a Trinket equipped and once it's full during combat, you'll get an adrenaline surge giving you whatever perk comes with your selected Trinket. Wooden weapons sound fun too, giving you a way to practice the combat with friends.

You're gonna need that little bit of help too, as there's some new creatures to fight in the update as well. Check out the trailer for it below:
