Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod adds the chance for ranged NPC's to spawn with either a Bow or Crossbow (50-50)
Bandits have high chance of spawning with Iron Crossbows, small chance of spawning with a Steel Crossbow.
The Stormcloaks will spawn with the normal Dawnguard Steel Crossbow.
The Legion will Spawn with the Imperial Crossbow (steel stats)

  • The Dragonborn can now build or buy Crossbows & Bolts without having to starting the Dawnguard DLC
  • Enhanced versions of all crossbows available 
  • Fire, Ice & Shock Ammo can be either built or bought


New Bolts use original meshes with texture sets applied, so should be compatible with mods that change ammo holster locations
Edits made to Faction & Vendor level lists so weapons & ammo not only spawn in the world, but also available to buy from Shops & Blacksmiths

A patch might be needed if you have mods that already change Bandit, Imperial, Stormcloak & Vendor level lists


Update V1.6: Orcish Crossbow & Orcish Bolts Added (Normal & Elemental)
