Skyrim Special EditionWhat is Heavy Armory?
The goal of Heavy Armory is to expand the variety of weapons used in the world of Skyrim in an immersive and lore-friendly way. Heavy Armory adds over a 100 new lore-friendly weapons and introduces new weapon types like spears, halberds and shortswords and expands some of the more limited sets like the Silver, Imperial, Forsworn and Draugr weapons. If you’re looking for some new weapons to wield (or to get your face bashed in with!), and value immersion like I do then look no further! Heavy Armory is the mod for you!
My aim was to make new weapons that blend in seamlessly with the weapons Bethesda created. That’s why I used bits and pieces of existing weapons to create new varieties. Basically, I don’t even want you to notice that there’s a mod running ;)
Where do we find these new weapons?
Mod requirements
This mod requires Dragonborn, Hearthfire and Dawnguard! HA is also fully compatible with WAFR, CCOR and SPOR No patches needed! These mods are not required but strongly recommended to make your game experience a bit more “consistent”.
A non-DLC version is available in the download section under the "old versions”. It’s functional but outdated and won’t be updated anymore.
Installation
