Armors similar to the Witcher set. Some ideas would be take the above Witcher set (that is my current favorite set) and re texture it, lightening up the steel pla. Imperial Knight Armor is an armor set added by the mod Immersive Armors. Imperial Knight Armor (Immersive Armors) from TES Mods Wiki - the Elder Scrolls mod repository. Games Movies TV Video. Article stubs, Skyrim: Armor Set, Skyrim: Immersive Armors, Skyrim: Immersive Armors Complete Armor Sets. Imperial Knight Armor (Immersive Armors) Edit. If in the Dungeon and No NPCs show up: Exit Skyrim completely (Do Not Reload Skyrim), then load/play Skyrim. Armor Texture on some armor does not appear visible (reload game). One Mercenary Knight is missing outfit during a battle. Reloading the Legion may help with this.
The arsenal of the Dragonborn is usually something to behold in the latter stages of the game, once you are past level 50 and have the best gear available for the taking.
But, once you have played the game several times, or when you are on your first playthrough but have finished most tasks, you will want fresh weapons to add to the quest mods.
So for this post I’ve compiled a large list of 25 weapon mods that will enhance your Elder Scrolls experience to unforeseen heights.
Some of these mods are upgrades on already existing weapons. Others add dozens of new swords, bows, and unique gear to the game. But note that all these mods are free so you won’t be paying a dime.
It is up to you to decide which of these you would rather play with, and how lore-friendly you would like the game to remain.
25. Witcher’s Silver Sword
If you are a player who loves to mix things up with other franchises, you will enjoy the Witcher’s Silver Sword mod.
It simply replaces the Skyrim Silver Sword with one used in The Witcher series, providing the unrelenting strength of Geralt in order to kill the mighty foes he encountered during his adventures.
The Silver Sword does not have any particular effects, but it gives you the unique feel of authenticity and spins the world of Skyrim into something different.
It is well-detailed as well, helping to create more immersion!
24. CL’s Ebony Weapons
One common thing you will discover when looking for Skyrim weapon mods is the Ebony weapons are not fan-favorites and could look better – especially when you take into consideration how the armors are awesome.
CL himself, a popular modder in the Skyrim community, has retextured many of the base game Ebony weapons and turned the designs into incredibly beautiful pieces of weaponry.
The CL’s Ebony Weapons mod is a compilation of all of CL’s work in one file, which will replace all base game ebony weapons with spectacular and innovative items.
23. Better Bows
The Better Bows mod allows the base game bows to be complemented by a larger selection of ranged weapons, which will enhance your arsenal and add a much-needed touch of variety to the selection.
The bows were designed using the base templates of Skyrim’s ranged weapons, so they do not look out of place!
22. Unique Bows Collection
Much like the last mod, the Unique Bows Collection adds 10 new bows to the game with exceptional designs.
They are simpler than the Better Bows mod, but the mod is better supported and works better with enchantments, earning it a higher spot on our list.
If you’re big into the archery path then you’ll want to check out these weapons.
21. Warglaive of Azzinoth (Twin Blades)
If you are a Warcraft fan or an avid WoW player you are going to absolutely love this next mod.
It adds the infamous Twin Blades of Azzinoth to the game, used by Illidan in the Warcraft lore.
Much like the original blades, this mod comes pre-enchanted with the “Power of Green Fire”, giving them an unbelievable amount of power but does not allow you to place any further enchantments on them.
20. Magicka Sabers
Are you a Star Wars fan looking to keep a Skyrim playthrough lore-friendly?
The Magicka Sabers mod is going to suit your needs. This mod adds lightsabers into the game, but it is explained how the sabers themselves are powered with elements found in Skyrim.
Their existence is technically logical in Tamriel.
Sure, the explanation might not be the best out of every other mod on this list. But it should suffice if you wish to slay foes with your lightsaber across the plains of the realm!
19. The Ice Blade of The Monarch
This mod adds a couple of new weapons to the game, as well as a staff, which can be obtained by completing a quest which adapts to the lore of the game.
The powerful weapons will serve you well in battle and strike fear in the hearts of every foe daring to stand in your way.
18. Dawnguard Arsenal
If you have played the Dawnguard DLC and fought the Volkihar Menace, you probably know their weapons are on the limited end of the spectrum.
This mod aims to correct that by adding countless new weapons with the same design you would expect Dawnguard weapons to have.
Some of these models were made from scratch, and the work put into them is extremely noticeable!
17. Expanded Skyrim Weaponry
Do you feel like the base game weapons are lacking in variety?
Well, this mod is what you are after. It adds 95 new and different weapons to the game, making your choice of finding a favorite more difficult than before.
All of the weapons are lore-friendly and use the same materials that are included in the base game.
16. Automatic Crossbows
This mod adds automatic crossbows to the lore of Skyrim by presenting you a story where the Thalmor find some old Dwarven blueprints showing how to build these fearsome weapons.
As such, you will be able to fire arrows as if they were machine gun ammunition!
Keep in mind this weapon is a bit overpowered so if you are not keen on ancient over-the-top guns, this might not do much for you.
15. Ghosus Weapon Pack
The Ghosus Weapon Pack adds many different new weapons into the game.
There are a total of 18 new weapons, but each one has 32 variations and they come with a unique shield emblematic to this mod.
The weapons are highly detailed and look as if they belong in the game, so finding them and wielding them is going to be as lore-friendly as you can imagine.
Though the weapons adapt to the game, they have their roots and origins in comics and other stories. You can even get Thor’s Hammer with this pack!
14. Dread Knight Weapon Set
So the Dread Knight Weapon Set makes its glorious return to Skyrim after the success this mod had in the days of Oblivion.
It adds a set of weapons seeming to fit right in with a knight who represents death, so dark knights and warrior necromancers might find a lot of joy in using these weapons.
In any case, the weapons are fairly balanced, and the design is as beautiful as you can imagine.
The weapons have inscriptions written in Daedra, adding to the eerie feeling they emit when you wield them.
13. Lost Longswords
Fans of two-handed weapons and swords that feel a bit exaggerated to wield into battle, rejoice.
This mod adds a collection of longswords to the game that seemed to be lost with time, but they have made their way into your hands, thanks to this amazing mod.
It even included a Dragonbone longsword you can craft, making it one of the most powerful in the game.
If you feel like the longswords included in the base game are just not enough, you will need to try this one out.
You are undoubtedly going to walk out happy with the many new weapons that get introduced to the game using this mod!
12. Lore Weapon Expansion
The amount of beautifully crafted weapons introduced with this mod are not only great, but also extremely carefully crafted.
You can see the modder is an artist who has put plenty of work into developing these amazing new weapons, amongst which you will find many types of daggers, swords, axes, and other heavy weapons made of the main materials found in the game.
The additions are strict to the lore of Skyrim.
And none of the weapons introduced to the game feel out of place no matter how you play.
It is a truly fascinating mod and the weapons are a work of art.
11. Faction Crossbows
One really wonders why crossbows were not added into the Elder Scrolls story when Skyrim was released, but what is done is done.
Thankfully, modders have found a way to create these weapons and introduce them into the game.
The Faction Crossbows mod is probably one of the most lore-friendly mods out of them all, as it adds a craft-able crossbow, as well as variations for every faction in the game.
You can use your Dark Brotherhood crossbow to slay the souls of the innocent, or the Thieves’ crossbow to aid you in your days as a robber.
10. Elemental Arrows
There may be many different arrows in Skyrim, but it still feels as if Bethesda should have allowed players to be more creative in terms of style.
This mod does exactly that by adding a ton of different arrows to the game, all of which have unique effects which improve your playstyle.
They also allow you to vary bows and combine them with new ammunition.
You will be able to craft arrows with special effects based on the arrows already included in the game, so things will not feel out of place when you shoot them.
9. The Huntsman
The Huntsman is the most spectacular bow modders have managed to create for Skyrim.
It is such an amazing bow, no other mod comes close to it, perhaps maybe the Scoped Bows mod.
It is the perfect companion for all kinds of players – but particularly hunters.
The mod is designed to level up as the player does, which means it will not become useless after a certain level limit.
You can even upgrade the bow and change its attributes.
Upgrading it also changes its shape, which is a neat addition in a mod and not in the base game.
8. Weapons of The Third Era
Though this mod is quite old, it still stands amongst the best Skyrim weapon mods in the Nexus community.
It adds new and unique weapons to the game, all of which aim to resemble those used in the Third Era of the world.
The designs of the weapons are magnificent and beautiful, with steel, silver, and even glass variations having been included in the arsenal this mod adds to the game.
7. Heavy Armory – New Weapons
Heavy Armory adds a staggering 100 new weapons to the game, including weapons no other Elder Scrolls game has ever entertained.
You will be able to wield a halberd and strike a fierce blow using clubs or spears, so it is up to you to decide what you are going to do with the variety this mod provides.
Keep in mind, you will also find many of these new weapons wielded by foes in the wild.
Be prepared to stand ready in case you encounter a high-leveled enemy wearing a giant halberd against you.
6. Sword of the Ancient Tongues
This mod adds a single sword into the game.
But dare I say it is the most lore-friendly sword on this list.
The sword has encryptions of Akatosh, as well as an inscription in draconic tongue, which reads “Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, to keep evil forever at bay…”.
The sword is incredibly detailed. And everything looks so in place you can see this modder is a skilled 3D artist.
Note you will need a solid crafting to create this sword, but the effort you put into it is as worth it as it gets – it is an amazing weapon worthy of being wielded by the Dragonborn.
5. JaySus Swords
The sheer number of swords, blades, and axes this mod adds to the game is so staggeringly high, you will struggle to try them all.
In fact, the mod adds a grand total of 53 weapons into the game, all of which have unique designs and look extremely well made.
The creator of the mod, JaySus, may not be the most creative of modders in terms of naming, but he sure did one heck of a good job with the creation of such a unique arsenal of weapons.
4. Scoped Bows
If you want scoped weaponry, well Skyrim may not be the best game to obtain it.
However some modders beg to differ. They have managed to incorporate scoped weapons into Skyrim without breaking the essence of the game.
Admittedly, it is difficult to explain why a bow would have a scope in this era, but hey, that is a small little detail.
This mod adds lore-friendly scoped bows into the game, and the bows look very natural and seem to fit in quite well with the overall feel of the game.
3. Isilmeril LOTR Weapons Collection
Are you a fan of Lord of the Rings? If you’re playing Skyrim then you most likely are fond of LotR or its lore(a wild guess!)
This mode, created by modder Isilmeril, adds a massive number of weapons from Middle Earth and places them straight into its resembling Tamriel, and they are all yours for the taking.
You can choose to wield the mighty mace of Sauron, as it is included with this mod!
The number of weapons and their quality is staggering, and you are almost guaranteed to fall in love with what this mod has to offer.
There is an extra mod that retextures everything to make it look even better!
2. Unique Uniques
Have you ever wondered why the unique weapons in Skyrim are not really unique?
You find this extremely rare mace once wielded by an Emperor and enchanted in the forges of Oblivion itself, yet its appearance is equal to any other mace in the game.
This mod fixes this issue. You will be able to tell when a weapon is unique solely because of its appearance.
As such, it aims to retexture every unique weapon in the game to really make it stand out from the rest!
1. Immersive Weapons
Immersive Weapons takes the first spot on this list because of how well made it is.
The mod adds a wide variety of different weapons into the game with variants depending on the material.
It focuses on keeping things as accurate to the story as possible. And you will find the models of each weapon are perfectly integrated with the environment so easily.
The mod took a very long time to make and was updated for six months after its release, which makes it one of the best mods in the Nexus community and the most downloaded weapon mod by Skyrim fans!

The design fits right in with the Blades’ armors so it is as close to a legit Samurai armor as you will get in the game.

If you are interested in lore-friendly sets of armor this one is going to be just a plain treat.

Now you can craft the set of armor yourself and bring terror to the hearts of the innocent in the realm.

This heavy set of armor once belonged to Goyen, a knight who used to serve the Dragon Kings.

If you want to get your hands on the set of armor once belonging to this fearsome warrior you will have to kill the boss in Dovah Kendaar Do Jun.
But be warned: you will need to be prepared to face a very strong opponent here. It is an additional set, after all.
17. Alfheim Knights
Have you ever noticed how most sets of armor in Skyrim do not seem to fit Elven characters quite right?
In fact, you would even think Elven characters seem to be made specifically for the purpose of being mages. And using any other type of armor other than a robe would look a bit ridiculous.
There must be a way to fix this, right? Good news – there is!
Silver Knight Armor Mod Skyrim
The Alfheim Knights armor is a set which adapts to an Elven knight almost perfectly.
It belongs to a race of warrior elves who combine both their intuition and the strength of most humans from Skyrim.
16. Warchief Armor
The Warchief armor is very unique, but it somehow does not feel out of place in the game.
The creator of the mod has stated the main goal of this armor was to fuse some of the main aspects of the main warrior races of the game, a purpose which seems to have been diligently fulfilled.
The Warchief armor incorporates bear skin and skulls of slain foes to an otherwise elegant set of fur.
You can use this armor in light as well as heavy versions, so it is up to you to decide how you want to dress for the kill.
15. DreamBurrows Regal Assassin Armor
This set is based on the classic armor sets of Assassin’s Creed. And it has that traditional hood we all fell in love with.
However you can choose how you want to wear this armor: you can craft it as light or create it as clothing.
If you do not want to dress heavily then this is a great set of armor for you to use. Especially for Creed fans who like to intermix their fandoms a bit.
Do keep in mind it is mainly aimed at thieves and assassins, so it may not be the best set if you are roleplaying a knight.
14. Armor of Intrigue
Now this armor can be used by any type of player.
The creators of the mod made sure that you can craft equipment to the armor depending on how you want to play, which means thieves and knights alike will find a use for this highly-detailed set of armor.
It is up to you to decide which elements to add to it.
13. Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armor
Have you ever wondered how the Dragonbone armor would look if it were to be crafted by a smith capable of working with ebony?
This is your answer to an otherwise uncommon question.
Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armor is one of the most beautiful sets on the list. And though it is extremely heavy, it will protect you from all kinds of foes including the mightiest of dragons.
12. Perfect Legionnaire – Imperial Armor Reforged
The armor worn by the Imperial Legion has been a sign of prestige.
And many warriors prefer to wear it proudly, though they do not belong to the Imperial Legion themselves.
This mod aims to overhaul the way the Imperial armor looks by making it slicker and more impressive than in Oblivion and Skyrim. I’d say it turned out pretty well.
11. Lost Paladins of the Divines Wrath Armor
Do you remember that beautiful set of Paladin armor going around back in the days of Oblivion?
This mod is a complete rework of that set which gives you an armored horse with a similar set to the one included for your character.
It is a very beautiful set of armor and it somehow seems to fit perfectly well with the lore of the game.
10. Raven Witch Armor
This female-only armor works best if you intend to wear it with humans only. Which means you will want to avoid trying this dark set on an Argonian for sure.
The mod adds the Apex Werewolf armor to the game which is beneficial and can be crafted if you have the advanced armor smithing perk.
9. DreamBurrows Regal Huntsman Armor
If you have ever wanted to feel like a hunter in Skyrim, but none of the sets included in the base game seem to do the trick, then you will definitely want to check out the Regal’s Huntsman Armor.
It is a beautiful set crafted with fur and adds decent protection on top of a spectacular look that is almost unmatched by any set found in the base game.
Also it’s clearly based on Assassin’s Creed, as is the case with the last DreamBurrows set mentioned on this list.
8. Daedric Reaper Armor
Have you ever felt like the Daedric armor is not as evil as you would like?
Well this Daedric Reaper mod takes the regular Daedric armor one step further and makes it look as if it came straight out of the Diablo universe.
This armor includes a set of two extremely powerful swords along with defensive wear.
And though the set itself does not seem right to be worn by the Dragonborn, it is an awesome and extremely detailed piece of wear you will definitely want to check out.
7. Demon Hunter Armor
This female-only armor, which should honestly be called Demon Huntress Armor, is a detailed piece of leather wear that complements its defensive look with some metal alloys.
The set itself is very lightweight and adapts to most types of playstyles. Although admittedly it looks much better on nimble characters like thieves and assassins.
6. Knight of Thorns Armor
This set, which also includes the Spear of Thorns, is the ideal armor to be worn by a Dark Knight role-player.
The armor adapts to almost any type of body in the game and works with both male and female characters.
It is an extremely powerful set which needs to be uncovered in a coffin located on Serpent Stone Island.
5. Kynreeve Armor
Kynreeve Kahl is a powerful Daedra which can be summoned by the most skilled of Conjurers, provided you have already installed the mod that includes him.
In any case, the armor worn by this Dremora is so beautiful that many players have wanted to get their hands on it for a while.
And this mod makes it possible for you to obtain the set worn by this powerful summonable follower.
You will need to visit the Skytemple Ruins and take a stand against two powerful level 30 Dremora who are waiting for you to take them down.
It’s going to be a tough fight, and it requires you to kill them both if you wish to get your hands on the amazing Kynreeve set. But in my eyes it’s well worth the trouble.
4. Shudad Armor
This amazing set of armor looks to have been brought straight out of a movie set.
It is so majestic and I think you’ll struggle to find anything like it in any mod page. Although you cannot get your hands on this mod using the Nexus browser – it is only available to download via Steam, and the developer is no longer supporting it sadly.
In any case this unique armor is modeled to be worn both by males and females, and its appearance is so mighty, you will look like a holy warrior wearing it.
Lack of updates may be a turnoff but I think it’s so fun that I just had to include this in my top 5.
3. Masters of Death – Rise of the Dark Brotherhood
This mod replaces all of the Dark Brotherhood armors with these incredible sets, which are as beautiful to look at as they are meticulously made.
It is called the Sicarius Armor and it adapts perfectly to any assassin playstyle you might want to follow. As you can imagine, it is based on the traditional Assassin’s Creed style too.
The set does not fall short on detail and it also fits perfectly into the world of Skyrim. Give it a try and see what you think.
2. Silver Dragon Armor
Now this set of dark armor is made to look as if it were a dragon standing.
The helmet is one of the most perfectly-crafted I have encountered in the Skyrim modder community, second to none on this list.
Furthermore it provides great defensive attributes and serves as a perfect type of armor to be worn by those who are a bit far away from the light, if you catch my drift.
Traversing through the plains of Skyrim with a dark horse and this set of armor is a thing to behold and you will absolutely love doing so if you download this mod to go along with your journey.
1. Immersive Armors
Created by the same developer of Immersive Weapons, this mod adds new armor types to the game and increases the variety of where they spawn.
Ultimately this makes Skyrim feel way richer than it does when you first download the base game or any of its DLC’s.
All of the armors added with this mod are extremely lore-friendly. And with over 50 sets of armor to choose from it will be hard for you to not find something you like considering everything this mod has to offer.
