With God of War: Ragnarök ported 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.

Looking to make your NG+ run more challenging, or do you want to destroy everything in your path? These are the best builds to try.
PostsEventually, 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.
7 Dynamic Field Of View And Camera Change
Image via TheFireman18287One of the few aspects that makes the return of Kratos in the God of War series is the focus on immersion, and TheFireman18287's Dynamic FOV and Camera Change mod 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.
6 Anti-stutter - High CPU And Disk Priority
Image via Chemboy1One 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 with Chemboy1's Anti-Stutter mod.
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.
5 Classic Kratos

The only way to become classic Kratos in vanilla Ragnarök is by first beating the Valhalla DLC.

Each shield in God of War Ragnarok adds a new element to the combat.
PostsHowever, 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.
You can start a fresh save file with this mod and still have access to the classic Kratos skin.
4 Visual Redefined
Image via PinoyModderAlthough 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's Visual Redefined provides 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.
3 NG Plus Ready Save

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, or optional boss enemies you don't want to, just to get fun gear.
2 Middle Earth Inspired Reshade

The subtle differences work well to make Ragnarök feel both new and familiar.

Have you finally finished God Of War Ragnarok, but don't want your time in the Nine Realms to come to an end?
PostsThere 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.
1 Cheat Table
Image via AppocryphaA 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's Cheat Table mod 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.
