Best (First) Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord Mods

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is still in early access on Steam, but just a few days after its release, the craftsmen were able to rivet several dozen mods that improve and increase the flexibility of the role-playing sandbox settings in a medieval setting.

Below we show the best mods we have managed to find to date. Some are related to tweaking and changing the gameplay, others improve the visualization of the outside world or characters, and one even activates the developer console.

Be sure to read the individual pages of each mod as specific installation instructions may be given in some cases. And there are modifications that require the launch of a new campaign. Before installing the mod, make a backup copy of the game files and saves. Keep in mind that Bannerlord is in active development, which means there will be a lot of patches that can affect how mods work. Therefore, it is important to keep track of updates on the mod pages and install the latest versions.

Gameplay mods

• Screamerlord : For those who want to dive even deeper into andthe groovy world of the Middle Ages. This mod adds the main character's own voice. Now, when giving a command to your squad, you will hear your hero. Use the speech recognition tool - VoiceAttack, which will allow you to command troops. This requires a microphone. The free version of VoiceAttack allows you to use 20 commands, but if you purchase the premium version, you will get 50.
• Hideout Player Party Limit Removed : Allows you to use your ENTIRE army to attack rogue hideouts, instead of using only a small squad as the game defaults. This is a very useful feature in the mid to late stages of the game, where you will come across more serious cover.
• Smith Forever : This module removes the stamina cost from the game when using any operations in the kitchen. Thus, you will be able to use it as long as there are resources.
• Gay Marriage : This mod removes the character gender check from the game, which is triggered before romance begins. Thus, now you can court a character of any gender. Girls can marry girls, guys... well, you get the idea. At the same time, all previous restrictions remain: the chosen partner must not be married, just as you must not have a secondcatches.
• Female Soldiers for All Factions : jokes aside. This mod adds seven different types of female units to each faction's army.

Mods to improve graphics

• NPC Revamp : work on the mod continues. Its purpose is to improve the appearance of NPCs in Bannerlord using the character creation tool. This is not an attempt to make everyone beautiful, but a desire to endow the characters with more unique, characteristic features. You can even copy the face code of any NPC and apply it to your hero.
• BannerEditor Enhancer : If you're going to become a lord, then you need a beautiful banner. This mod significantly expands the color palette and provides a lot more options when creating a banner.
• Dro's Color Correction : Adds more depth and color to the game, making grass greener, sunsets brighter, and so on.
• Invisible Helmet : You spent a lot of time creating your character, but you can't enjoy the result of your work. This mod removes the helmet from the head, and now you will see the face of the main character.

Game Changer Tools

• How to unlock the dev console : After installing this mod, you will have access to the dev console. Now it will be opened by pressing the standard (for such cases) key ~. You will be able to enter the console commands listed below. This will allow you to add money, increase levels, get new soldiers, improve skills and much more.
• How to turn off the intro : yes, the intro to the game can be excellent, but, you see, it quickly gets boring to see the same thing every time you start the game. This mod disables the intro.
• Vortex : Vortex is not a mod for Bannerlord. This is a mod installer and mod manager from Nexus . We added it to this compilation because it supports Bannerlord and is extremely useful for installing, editing and, most importantly, updating mods.
