Have you ever wondered, why your character can't use that shovel on that shelf as a weapon?
This mod aims to expand the melee weapon variety by adding multiple miscellaneous items as weapons into the game.
Aditionally it tries to keeps the added weapons interresting and unique enough that players keep using them.

Updates for this mod will be out if I have time to update the mod, please don't ask when an update will be released.
Modding is a hobby not my job. Thank you!

Also available on Bethesda.net for PC and XB1
If you find it on Bethesda.net it was not uploaded by me unless I link it here.

Mods that alter base game records should be compatible.
Currently the mod uses unique resources and records and does not alter any base-game records except one cell.
Leveled list integration is done by script, so it should generally not conflict with any mods that alter leveled lists.
