WithGod of War: Ragnarökported to PC, modders are able to transform the world however they wish, using their experience modding the previous title to make more and better mods. With little to improve on an already impressive game, most mods tend to add polish that makes Ragnarök look better than ever before.

Eventually, we hope to see modders add entirely new content, such as equipment, outfits, and character models, but for now, every aspect of Ragnarök is ready to be tweaked to perfection. Experience the Nine Realms enhanced with Kratos, Atreus, and Freya using the best mods available for PC.

7Dynamic Field Of View And Camera Change

One of the few aspects that makes the return of Kratos in the God of War series is the focus on immersion, andTheFireman18287’sDynamic FOV and Camera Changemod aims to add even more polish. The main effect of this mod is making the entire game appear as a single cut from your point of view.

This makes transitions between cutscenes, the pause menu, and interacting with the environment more immersive as the camera tweaks create a constantly smooth flow. The mod also enhances the dynamic field of view, and you can use a keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off whenever you need to.

6Anti-stutter - High CPU And Disk Priority

One of the most common issues with transferring a console game to PC is the constant performance issues that can’t take every PC configuration into account. One way to maintain a high FPS and avoid constant stuttering on lower-end CPUs is withChemboy1’sAnti-Stuttermod.

This mod also gives priority to disk space, which can help with virtual RAM and storage performance, which means you won’t have to be alt-tabbing back to the desktop to constantly monitor your Task Manager. This mod can also help balance the load for other mods that might include unintended performance issues.

5Classic Kratos

Although an aged Kratos with a killer beard really works for the newest additions to the God of War series, especially combined with Christopher Judge’s performance, the classic appearance of Kratos with his striped goatee is both iconic and nostalgic. The only way to become classic Kratos in vanilla Ragnarök is by first beating the Valhalla DLC.

However, Thyden’s Classic Kratos mod gives you access to the classic Kratos skin right away. This is for players who don’t want to have to play a game twice to relive one of their childhood heroes, and it just gives you access to an optional cosmetic rather than an unearned skill boost.

4Visual Redefined

Although God of War: Ragnarök is one of the most visually impressive games to date, it can always be improved with polishing tweaks and lighting balances that are suited to the individual player’s tastes.Jerico Relopez’sVisual Redefinedprovides a clearer render that greatly enhances the overall look of the game.

With deeper shadows, more vibrant color, and less background fog that drowns out the environment, Visual Redefines is the best reshader for Ragnarök. This mod also doesn’t affect performance, as it isn’t increasing the polycount or interacting with render distance, just simple visual improvements that make a big difference.

3NG Plus Ready Save

Whether you are replaying the series on PC after beating them on PS5 or are a veteran of the previous God of War and just want a challenge,GaminjaYT’sNG Plus Ready Savecan launch you straight into the most difficult challenge of the game. Otherwise, you would have to have already beaten the game on PC before unlocking it.

This can be a massive time saver for players who want the extra challenge of New Game Plus without grinding through the main story to achieve it. You also get access to all the armor and runic attacks, meaning you don’t have to complete challenges, puzzles, oroptional boss enemiesyou don’t want to, just to get fun gear.

2Middle Earth Inspired Reshade

Bringing Western European high fantasy to the frozen wastes of Nordic fantasy,SebyKing’sMiddle Earth Reshadetweaks the environmental lighting and color to more closely match the vibe and ambiance of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. The subtle differences work well to make Ragnarök feel both new and familiar.

There is even a subtle film grain effect that makes Ragnarök appear closer to the Peter Jackson films while adding realistic effects that sell closer to a movie than a game, if the performances didn’t already convince you. Of all the reshaders available for Ragnarök, this one contains the most nostalgic value.

1Cheat Table

A common inclusion in older games that always end up modded into modern games, cheats allow you to interact with individual components of the game, giving you unlimited access to resources at a push of the button.Appocypha’sCheat Tablemod puts these options in a handy table that organizes possible cheats and optional effects.

This mostly affects resources you can pick up,such as hacksilver, beast scraps, and shattered runes, but it can also be used to give experience to Kratos, Atreus, and Freya separately. Using this mod can allow you to balance your playthrough that best manages exploration and time, or to go wild and make yourself rich.

Updates to Cheat Table will include modifying stats such as movement speed, size, and toggling invincibility.
