📋 About This Mod
Hey everyone,
I've been working on this project for literally months, and constantly changing the appearance of Kaidan 2's sword and bow. Originally I was going to stick to enhancing Kaidan 2's vanilla weapons, but then I saw AlucardWK's Dovahkiin Katana and knew right away it was destined to become Kaidan's new katana. There are two texture options for the sheath - dragon design or plain scales.
The bow is Kaidan's original bow with enhanced textures and dragon heads on either side to match his new katana.
The blade has the original quote "Tovit kruziik qethsehokoronne" which translates to "Search the ancient bones of enemies" the blade texture is in 4K to preserve the text details. The blade also receives blood textures correctly. I have made the katana available with or without the sheath (only pick one) and the sword has no esp. The bow required an esp (marked esl)
The Quiver is an edit of the steel quiver and arrows by Elsopa (Kaidan likes his steel arrows, so it's currently a steel quiver and arrows replacer)
Thanks to the Wolf Pack for testing the weapons to make sure all works as intended. Also thank you VanNuys22 for the gorgeous screenshots x

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (5,545 endorsements) — this is a proven weapon pack.
- Massive download count (435k+) shows it's a go-to for Kaidan fans.
- Dragon theme matches Skyrim's aesthetic, and the 2k/4k mix balances quality and performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim or Kaidan 2 updates.
- Only adds weapons for Kaidan 2 — if you don't use that follower, this mod is useless.
For Skyrim players who use Kaidan 2 and want to give him a visually striking, dragon-themed weapon set. If you're into lore-friendly gear with high-res textures, this is a solid pick. Skip if you don't use Kaidan 2 or want gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install — it's a simple drop-in, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Check that Kaidan 2 is installed and updated before adding this mod, since it's designed specifically for him.
- If you experience texture issues, try the 2k version if available — 4k can strain lower-end GPUs.
