📋 About This Mod

Claymore Add 36

This weapon pack adds 36 claymores

two-handed greatswords larger than the average size.


"Before the great kingdom of High Rock was founded, early Breton warriors were known for wielding massive swords.

To overcome their smaller stature, they carried blades longer and larger than the standard weapon of the time.

Their ability to bridge this strength gap became legendary, and even in the 4th Era these blades remain famous under the name ‘Claymore.’"


New optional file

Heavy Blow: When a claymore is equipped, power attack damage is increased by 25%, but stamina consumption is increased by 50%.

(This is intended to differentiate the combat style from standard greatswords and to make claymores more viable for characters with ample stamina investment. I also plan to gradually add similar unique traits as optional features for other weapons.)


Inspired by the Highlander’s claymore from For Honor, this weapon pack introduces a new class of greatsword that sits in balance between vanilla greatswords and ultra greatswords — larger than the former but smaller than the latter.

Weapon Stats:

  • []Slightly slower than standard greatswords, but with higher damage.

    []18 standard claymores crafted from vanilla materials.

    []18 unique named claymores, upgraded from the standard versions at the Skyforge.

    []Unique claymores have no special enchantments, but boast higher base damage compared to their material tier.

  • Their slightly slower speed is also brought back up to match vanilla greatswords, making them more efficient overall.


Animation Support:

All claymores are tagged with a keyword for easy integration with custom animations.

This makes it simple to add claymore-specific animations through OAR optional mods or DAR condition sets.
