📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod was first design as a plugin for The Dark Tower, but we decided to upload it as a standalone.
This crossbow and Bolt are slightly more powerful then the Vanilla Dawnguard Crossbow and Bolt.
We also Increased it\'s range and reduce the gravity drop of the Dread Bolt making the set (Crossbow & Bolt)
more accurate for long shot. See the video on the mod page for all the details.
The Dread Crossbow & Dread Bolt are craftable at any forge under the steel section and do not require any
advencement in the quests of Dawnguard.(You can Craft it at any time as long as you have the Materials / Perks)
