📋 About This Mod
Remake Here Vampire King's Armor at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)
This mod adds a standalone full heavy armor set to Skyrim that also replaces Harkon's outfit. (Does not replace royal vampire armor)
You can find the armor inside Harkon's quarters on his table, or you can loot his corpse after finishing Dawnguard.
The armor can be tempered with ebony stats so long as you have the ebony perk.
Optionally you can download the replacer version that replaces ebony armor with this set.
Males and Females have unique meshes so that's fun!

Harkon's Battle Armor adds a standalone full heavy armor set to Skyrim that also replaces Harkon's outfit, with unique meshes for males and females. The armor can be tempered with ebony stats and is found in Harkon's quarters or on his corpse. An optional replacer version swaps ebony armor with this set. It's a cosmetic overhaul for vampire-themed characters.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 276 endorsements and over 7,500 downloads.
- Gives Harkon a proper battle-ready look, perfect for evil vampire playthroughs.
- Unique male and female meshes add variety, and the ebony tempering keeps it viable.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Replacing Harkon's outfit could conflict with other mods that alter his appearance.
- The optional ebony replacer might clash with other armor overhauls that modify ebony armor.
For Skyrim players who want a more menacing Harkon or a heavy armor set with vampire vibes. If you're doing a Dawnguard playthrough and want to loot a cool set, this is for you. Skip if you're not into cosmetic armor mods or prefer lore-friendly vanilla looks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager, just download the main file and activate it; the Lite version is great if you're hitting the plugin limit.
- The armor is in Harkon's quarters, so you can grab it early in Dawnguard without fighting him.
- Pair it with the recommended mod for a more evil Harkon to enhance your vampire lord roleplay.
