📋 About This Mod
Welcome to my Latest Mod, Fighting Gloves of Skyrim!
I had recently made a character that I wanted to be a brawler, but was saddened by the fact that there were not many opportunities to expand on it. The gloves in game, are just modified versions of the vanilla assets already available to the base game. And no DLC's are required.
How does it work ?
Well technically the Fighting gloves are just bracers or gloves, that you wear. There are approximately 5 of them. Each is enchanted with an enchantment that buffs unarmed damage. Recipes do exist to upgrade these items, plus they are built into the leveling lists so you can find these almost anywhere that brigands and forsworn exist. I have also accounted for attack speed with the gloves, the more heavier and stronger gloves with be slower. But have the ability to stagger opponents. I also nerfed the Kajiit Claw damage to 6.
Normal Gloves
Cloth Gloves (Cloth, Unarmed Damage 4, +30% attack speed)
Bandage Gloves (AR4, Unarmed Damage 4, +30% Attack speed)
Fighting Gloves (AR8, Unarmed Damage 7, +20% attack speed)
Waxed LeatherGloves (AR 12, Unarmed Damage 10, +10% attack speed)
Scaled FightingGloves (AR 16, Unarmed Damage 14, +6 % stagger chance)
Heavy FightingGloves (AR 20, Unarmed Damage 18, +9% Stagger chance)
Improved Gloves
Bandaged Gloves (AR6, Unarmed Damage 6, +30% attack speed)
Fighting Gloves (AR10, Unarmed Damage 9, +20% attack speed)
Waxed LeatherGloves (AR 14, Unarmed Damage 12, +3 % Stagger chance)
Scaled FightingGloves (AR 18, Unarmed Damage 16, +8 % Stagger chance)
Heavy FightingGloves (AR 22, Unarmed Damage 18, +12 % stagger chance)
Magical Gloves
New magical gloves were added, that add shock, frost, and fire damage onto a heavy and light pair of gloves that can now be found in the leveled lists. The intensity of the damage, comes in three stages +5, +10, and +15.
Where do I get this wonderful mod?
Well silly you can craft them, or find them on your quests. Or make a stop by Jorvaskr (in whiterun) in the back at their training grounds, there is a pair of starter fighting gloves on the middle table. Comes in handy if you want to go unarmed and prove your worth , when you doing the companions storyline.
For those who want to cheat and get them all, you can type in console command help "Brawler's Footlocker".

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 261 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Fills a real gap for brawler builds—no more relying on vanilla fists.
- Balanced trade-offs: heavier gloves hit harder but are slower, with stagger chance to compensate.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Only 5 gloves plus upgrades—could get repetitive for players wanting more variety.
- The nerf to Khajiit claw damage might upset Khajiit players who rely on that racial bonus.
For Skyrim players who want to roleplay as a brawler or unarmed fighter without relying on mods that overhaul the entire combat system. If you're a Khajiit who loves your claw damage, this mod changes that, so skip if you're not okay with that. It's a focused, lore-friendly addition for melee enthusiasts.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod adds items to leveled lists, it's best to install it before starting a new playthrough to ensure enemies spawn with the gloves.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts with other armor mods.
- Check your load order—place this mod after any mods that alter leveled lists to ensure the gloves appear.
