📋 About This Mod
Join us on Discord!
The goal of the Armory Extended series is to expand on popular mods with new weapon types like Spears, Shortswords and Quarterstaves, bringing their weapon variety in line with mods like Heavy Armory and Animated Armoury.
Although this mod series is designed to be used alongside the mods mentioned above, they don't require them. You can use this mod stand-alone or alongside any weapon pack of your choice.
Note that this mod does not add new animations, and new weapon types will make use of whatever animation mod you have installed (as long as they are compatible with OCF).
This mod adds new weapons to the excellent Haugbui - A Draugr Overhaul (by Briraka) and Ancient Nord Stalhrim (by TateTaylorOh).
This mod is designed as an extension to these two mods, and you'll need at least one of them to work.
If you use both mods, I've added patches to ensure perfect synergy.
So, what can you expect?
-
[]10 new Ancient Nord Stalhim weapons, designed by ButaneBoss! These are added to high-level Draugr (generally level 35+). At the Skyforge, you can craft new Stalhrim Hero variations.[/]
[]Haugbui's Ancient Nord Ebony set is also extended with 10 weapons. If you prefer your Draugr not have access to Ebony, you can disable distribution for this set. Like with the Ancient Stalhrim set, you can craft Ebony Hero weapons at the Skyforge.[/]
[]Weapon stats have been rebalanced, and all weapons have been renamed for clarity.
Ancient Stalhrim / Ebony = Ancient Nord Stalhrim / Ebony
Hero Stalhrim / Ebony = Nord Hero Stalhrim / Ebony.
This is based on the naming convention from Ancient Nord Armo(u)ry EXTREME AE.[/]
Required
- Haugbui - A Draugr Overhaul and / or Ancient Nord Stalhrim (or: Ancient Nord Arsenal)
You'll need one or both of these mods. These are excellent mods that should already be in your load order anyway.
- Creation Club: Fishing (free CC content).
I've added new weapons to the Fishing junk list, and the Modules for Haugbui and ANS require the respective Fishing patch from those mods. Textures from the Fishing BSA file are also needed. Before you ask, no, I will not make a version without this dependency.
Patches
The FOMOD installer contains patches for the following mods:
- Ancient Nord Armo(u)ry EXTREME AE by ButaneBoss
Patch resolves level list conflicts and applies new weapon keywords introduced in ANAE: AE.
- Ancient Nord Arsenal
Armory Extended - Ancient Nord Stalhrim adds 40 new weapons to the Haugbui and Ancient Nord Stalhrim mods, including halberds, spears, shortswords, and quarter staves. It's a compatibility-focused expansion for players who want more variety in their Nordic arsenal. With 111 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but active addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 111 endorsements and over 41k downloads.
- Expands two existing mods with a meaningful variety of weapon types.
- Actively maintained, last updated July 2026.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires two separate mods to function, so setup is more involved.
- Weapon balance may vary since it's an extension of other mods.
- Compatibility with other weapon mods isn't guaranteed despite the claim.
For Skyrim players who already use Haugbui or Ancient Nord Stalhrim and want more weapon variety. If you're not into Nordic-themed gear or don't want to manage multiple mods, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install the required mods first, then this extension, and let your mod manager overwrite files if prompted.
- Check the mod's compatibility notes on the Nexus page for known conflicts with other weapon mods.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep load order clean and avoid issues.
