📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a "working" Cannon Arm to the Berserk Black Swordsman Armor mod by Zenl. As such, this mod requires that mod to be installed. An addon for Berserk Female Guts Follower + Armor and version for CACO are also available.
I didn't get any chance to showcase it hence i didn't put any images or videos yet. You can help me by sending relevant images or videos about the feature of this mod. Here's the original Cannon Arm shown in the anime:

How it works?
This is a very simple feature. It adds a Cannonball "ammo" which is actually a scroll, hence you can "fire" it while equipping the Cannon Arm. You need to craft the "ammo" first in the smithing armor tables. The crafting requirements are divided into 2 versions: Normal and CACO.
For Normal version, it requires minimum of 75 Smithing skill or 75 Alchemy skill, and having at least 1 Cannon Arm in your inventory. And the recipe is as follows:
- 1 Dwarven Oil
- 1 Lead Ingot
- 1 Black Powder
To get the Lead Ingot, you can craft it in smelters. As for the Black Powder, you can make it in the cooking stations (the recipe will be automatically shown).
As for CACO version, it has the same requirements with CACO's Devastating Incendiary Bombs' crafting requirements, ie. having Catalyst perk (or World Serpent perk if you're using CACO-Ordinatored), or if you're not really into alchemy but still using CACO, there's an alternative requirement by finishing Ancient Technology quest (from Dawnguard DLC) and having a minimum of 50 Smithing skill. You're also still required to be having at least 1 Cannon Arm in your inventory, just like in the Normal version. The recipe is still the same with the Normal version, but to craft the Black Powder you need to do it using Retort from CACO (the same tool you're using to craft CACO's bombs) instead of cooking stations. Surely CACO version is more demanding and realistic, so you can only craft the Cannonball when you're indeed capable to craft it (not feels like 'cheating').
The damage dealt by the Cannonball scales with your Archery and Alchemy skills. The higher either or both skills, the higher the damage dealt. So it can still be useful in the late/end-game or when you're using hardcore/difficulty mods which make the enemies tougher.
How to use it?
First, you need to craft the Cannonball. The recipes and requirements are mentioned above. Next, you can equip the Cannon Arm to role-play the original Cannon Arm from the anime. Equipping the Cannon Arm is not a requirement for the Cannonball to work, but you should just equip it since it's the main purpose of this mod. Equip the Cannonball with your left arm which is where the prosthetic Cannon Arm is located.
Adds a functional cannon arm to the Berserk Black Swordsman Armor mod. For fans of Berserk who want Guts' iconic prosthetic with a working feature. Stands out as a niche add-on with moderate community support.
