Adds a new weapon to the game: Mercenary's Greatsword.

The Mercenary's Greatsword is a zweihander-style greatsword with a ring guard and a diamond-embedded pommel. It has faster swing speed and longer reach than other greatswords, making it a rarity among greatswords. The damage is still somewhat generous, equal to that of a Glass Greatsword. The relatively low weight results in lower stamina consumption with power attacks.

The sword can be crafted at a forge, found in Imperial category. Crafting requires level 70 Smithing. Steel Smithing perk doubles improvements at a grindstone but no perks are required for crafting. The weapon is also sometimes used by enemies and sold by merchants, starting to appear in-game after reaching level 30.

This weapon is injected into leveled lists with a script. There is also an optional .esp file available that does not add the weapon to leveled lists. The mod may be installed at any time. Uninstalling the leveled list version mid-playthrough is not recommended.

Mercenary's Greatsword stats:
  • Damage: 21
  • Weight: 14
  • Reach: 1.4
  • Speed: 0.8
  • Stagger: 1.1
  • Two-handed
