Weapons

Weapons are items that an actor can equip in either or both of their hands. Melee weapons can be used to strike objects within a limited range, while ranged weapons can be used to fire a projectile. A weapon's core behaviors are determined by its Animation Type.

General

• Enchanting: The enchantment attached to this weapon. Staves can only use staff enchantments, while other weapons can only use non-staff enchantments. Whether a weapon is a staff or not depends on its Animation Type, in the Art and Sound tab.
• Enchantment: The size of the enchantment. A grand soul gem provides an enchantment of 3000.
• Value: The base value in gold of the item. The value of the enchantment is added to this.
• Template: If this field is filled, all values except name, enchanting, enchantment, value and scripts are derived from the template weapon.
• Skill: The skill associated to this weapon.
• Equip Type: Which hands are needed to wield this weapon.
• Damage per second: Calculated value.
• Description: Text displayed in the inventory menu, as part of the "item card" for this weapon. Overrides any text supplied by its enchantment.
• Keywords: Keywords associated with this weapon
• Scripts: Scripts attached to this weapon.

Flags

• Non-hostile: An actor that is hit by this weapon does not consider it to be an actor aggression, and it does not force combat.
• No Jam After Reload: Not applicable.
• Minor Crime: Check to make attacking an NPC with this weapon a minor crime (as opposed to assault, a major crime).
• Hide Backpack: Makes the weapon invisible while it is sheathed. The weapon is only visible while it is drawn and held in one or both hands.

Game Data Tab

• Weight: The weight of the item.
• Reach: For melee weapons, this is a multiplier used in the reach formula: fCombatDistance * NPCScale * WeaponReach (where fCombatDistance is a game setting).
• Sight FOV: The angle of view when using Iron Sights. Done by zooming in.
• Crit Dmg: How much extra damage the weapon does on a critical hit. This is not a multiplier; it's added damage. Additionally, this damage is added after armor, effectively making it bypass the target's armor.
• Crit Effect: The "spell" that is applied to the target on a critical hit. Must have ONLY Self-targeted effects.
• On Death: If checked, critical effect is only applied when the target is killed.
• Damage: Damage this weapon does.
• # Projectiles: Number of projectiles per single ammo object.
• Base VATS To-Hit Chance: Not applicable.
• Crit % Mult: Modifier to actor's critical chance derived attribute. Usually set to one. If set to zero, the weapon will not cause critical hits.
• Stagger: Amount of stagger applied on a hit. A 1.0 value plays the full stagger animation. Stagger can be reduced by a variety of factors, so a value above 1.0 does have meaning.
• On Hit - Normal formula behavior: The default formula alone is used.

Range

• Min Range: Tells combat AI they don't need to be closer than this value.
• Max Range: Tells combat AI they don't want to be any further away than this value.
• Range Is Fixed Tells the combat AI not to use combat style multipliers for this weapon.

Notes

• The Creation Kit only allows you to give weapons an enchantment with a matching type (Staff Enchantment for staves; Enchantment for everything else). If you use third-party tools to give a staff a non-staff enchantment, the player will be able to equip the staff, but will not be able to charge up or fire a round.
