Data as of 1.0.20 · 15.10.2026

Valheim tier list Marksman: Deep North

Graded within the biome: S from 90 % of the best at the highest level, A from 75, B from 60, C from 45, D below. The next biome stands beside it, and levels 1 to 4 show what upgrading brings. The question mark explains the formula.

Level

Deep North

Weapons
