  • Some mods change how the game plays completely
  • Modded clients can potentially get players banned

It's been almost one year since the release of "Elden Ring," and the game has proven that it can stand the test of time.

There's already a ton of replayability in "Elden Ring's" base game, but modders in the community have done a tremendous job at creating fresh, new experiences for players to enjoy. Here are a few must-try mods that fans should take a look at.

Important: Playing with modded game files can get players banned from "Elden Ring's" multiplayer servers. Unless otherwise stated in the mod descriptions, players should always start modded playthroughs in Offline Mode and with anti-cheat disabled.

Clever's Moveset Modpack

Fans who are looking for some new weapons to use for RP runs might be interested in this pack made by Clever. This mod features new weapons and Ashes of War that use unique animations to give the game's usual combat some extra flavor.

Clever's Moveset Modpack isn't the most immersive mod out there. It does have some things that are lifted from other fandoms like "Demon Slayer" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender," but it should still offer some refreshing twists that veterans can enjoy.

Seamless Co-op

"Elden Ring's" default co-op mode is ironically restricting considering that it's an open-world game. However, this mod aims to rectify that by making the online experience feel much smoother.

Seamless Co-op does precisely what its name implies: make the co-op experience smoother and more painless. It removes restrictions like fog walls and lets players do things that are usually forbidden, such as riding Torrent in the open world, resting in Sites of Grace and respawning in the same session after death.

'Elden Ring' Reforged

This mod is designed for those looking for an overhauled gameplay experience. "Elden Ring" Reforged alters nearly every aspect of the game, from enemy AI behavior to item stats and status effect balancing. It also adds a "Sekiro"-style deflection as well as a class system with themed abilities.

Grand Merchant

Arguably the simplest mod in this list, Grand Merchant expands the inventory of the merchant Kale in Limgrave. All items are free to craft, which means that this is aimed toward satisfying the needs of players who want to try out specific item combos and interactions without having to teleport between merchants.
