Issue with Friend Cheating?

A friend of mine came into my valheim server and claims he has over 2k carrying capacity, and is gathering like 10k gold from a single troll, and such... he says he doesnt know why.. can anyone explain this? it is ruining my immersion.

No, since that's not how Valheim or mods work. It's not a glitch and they know full well what they're doing.

I wouldn't associate with that "friend" at all. If they're pulling stuff like that on your server, then they're likely doing similar kinds of behavior to people out of game as well - not worth having in your life, period.

If you are admin of the server, install Valheim plus and set it to enforce vanilla settings.

Assuming that is what he is using, he’ll “suddenly” start being unglitched and getting normal loot drops

They're a cheater.

Kill'em with fire. And then boot them off your server.

He's using mods and this is his doing, but if it somehow is a glitch, tell him to verify his game files,

This is one of the reasons I don't play multiplayer games anymore. Or play with anyone other than family.

Sad. Use to be fun, but there are SO MANY dbags these days it's overwhelming and kills your desire to play them.

Can't even escape reality in a game to relax due to hackers, trolls, or 5 million people naming characters Big@$#%, 4000 variations of Legolas spellings, or various other stupid immature names.

Talk to the admins and have him banned if you're that concerned about it. They can just spew some BS and say they checked logs or something if you're worried about pissing off your friend (I'd imagine not if you're posting about it on a public forum)

Your "friend" knows exactly what they are doing.

Yeah, it seems that for every creature he killed, he would get a full stack of whatever resource they dropped. Same goes for cutting trees and mining rocks. Took me 30 minutes to go through my loot boxes and sort out all the ill gotten gains...
