Mods are a great way to make an amazing game even better, like these great armor mods for Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is an almost perfect game in its own right, but its thriving modding community elevated it to one of the most replayed and popular games of all time. Players can find a mod to suit just about any need, from adding in a few extra items to completely overhauling the game’s systems.
Armor will be a crucial part of any player’s journey through Skyrim, as it offers not just protection but also some serious style points as late-game options are unlocked. Mods can certainly help buff armor if needed, but where they really shine is bringing the game’s armor sets into the 2020s, with stunning reskins and spectacular custom sets. Here are some of the best armor mods to try out that can suit any player’s needs, from feeling like a Spartan warrior to looking like a Met Gala attendee. 10 Silver Dragon Armor
One of the best single armor set mods out there, Silver Dragon Armor adds a new set of enchantable heavy armor to the game, which stands out as having been built entirely from scratch. The aesthetics of this new set are indisputably stunning, with long horns designed to make the player feel as much like a mighty dragon themselves as possible.
The armor is fully craftable and upgradable, with excellent armor ratings that exceed even that of the Daedric armor, so it’s definitely worth putting the time into unlocking the Advanced Armor and Draconic Armor perks, so it can be used to its full potential. 9 Masters Of Death – Rise Of The Brotherhood
Masters of Death also adds a whole new armor set to the game but goes one step further, adding several variants and reworking the Dark Brotherhood Assassin’s set so it much more lives up to the prestige of an assassin’s guild. The set is modeled around the iconic armor from Assassin’s Creed and is a serious upgrade to the Dark Brotherhood set as well as being stunning in its own right.
The Sicarius Armor added is fully craftable and upgradeable through the ebony and advanced armor trees, which makes it accessible to all players regardless of build path. While some of the other armor options for sneaky builds can leave something to be desired, this is definitely one to pick up as soon as possible. 8 Daedric Reaper Armor
Perhaps the most threatening armor set to be added in a mod is the Daedric Reaper Armor, which lives up to exactly what the name might suggest. While the vanilla Daedric set certainly looks the part, this new set offers a massive upgrade that will send even dragons running for the hills, and allow players to fulfill their dark destinies.
