Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Restores Weapon Originally Cut From The Game

A new mod for Baldur's Gate 3 adds cut content, introducing a new dart weapon, showcasing the thriving modding community for the game despite the lack of official tools. However, the upcoming Patch 7 is set to introduce official modding tools, promising exciting possibilities for the future of Baldur's Gate 3 as players eagerly await the expanded functionality and creative freedom these new development resources will provide.

Modding Breathes New Life Into Baldur's Gate 3

A brand-new mod for Baldur's Gate 3 has restored a weapon that was previously cut from the game by Larian Studios. In a game as large in scale as Baldur's Gate 3, it's inevitable that some content gets left on the cutting room floor during development, and it's interesting to see some of it see the light of day.

Baldur's Gate 3 already has one of the most active modding scenes of any game. Considering there aren't any official modding tools for the game yet, it's an impressive feat. From improved visuals to new content, there's always something fresh for gamers to download to enhance their Baldur's Gate 3 experience. There was even one Baldur's Gate 3 mod that turned it into a roguelike game, showing how the core gameplay of Larian's title even works in a totally different genre.

The mod, simply titled "Darts," is available on Nexus Mods from user Aetherpoint. It adds in a dart weapon that was originally cut by Larian, allowing players another unique way to engage in ranged combat in Baldur's Gate 3. Aetherpoint has even added an additional returning dart titled D'artagan, putting their own twist on Larian's cut content. While only a small mod, "Darts" is an immersive addition to the world of Baldur's Gate 3, and any PC player should give it a try.

Modders Revive Baldur's Gate 3's Axed Dart Weapon in New Mod

Since Baldur's Gate 3's release last year, players have become fascinated by the pieces of content that were eventually cut from the game. While Larian hasn't been upfront about everything, interviews given by individuals since its launch have given small nuggets of information about things that didn't quite make it into Baldur's Gate 3. It was even revealed that Baldur's Gate 3 almost returned to a classic franchise location, which would have been interesting for series veterans. Although it isn't clear how far along most pieces of cut content were, hopefully, the modding community can restore a lot of it over the coming months and years.

In September, Larian is set to release Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3, which will finally see the release of official modding tools. This is a significant milestone that will expand the capabilities of what the community is able to create. Frankly, it's amazing that fans have been able to craft such fantastic mods without these tools so far, so it'll be exciting to see what comes of their release. Even if Larian is largely done with Baldur's Gate 3, there's no doubt that the modding community will keep it alive for many years to come.
