📋 About This Mod
Increased Crossbow Reload Speed
This mod increases the attack speed from 1 to 5, greatly inceased the reload speed and damage output of all crossbows.
The mod works for SkyrimSE and SkyrimVR
The reason I made this mod is that because bows now can fire as fast as you make the draw animation with your bows in real life, the crossbows easily become irrelevant. This mod aims to balance this by increasing the crossbow attack speed.
Increases the attack speed of all crossbows in Skyrim, making them reload and fire faster. A simple gameplay tweak for players who find vanilla crossbow handling too slow. With 275 endorsements and 42,989 downloads, it's a modestly popular quality-of-life mod.
