A funny video shows a player in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim player running amok through a legacy dungeon, slaughtering multiple enemies with guns. Skyrim is widely regarded as one of the best action-RPGs of all time, thanks to its incredible success lasting more than a decade. Skyrim became an instant hit when it was released in 2011, and over time, it caught the attention of the modding community. Numerous Skyrim mods have come out, many of which dramatically change the gameplay and give it an entirely new look.
Players can apply multiple mods to Skyrim and feel like they're playing a different game altogether. One Skyrim gamer played with 300 mods that improved the combat, game physics, soundtrack, and graphics. Skyrim is made on Creation Engine, which is outdated compared to modern game engines like RAGE and Unreal Engine 5. Naturally, most Skyrim mods are focused on enhancing graphics and texture quality. However, some gamers play with atypical mods, like the Reddit user who has installed a Skyrim mod that enables guns, making it a shooter game.
Reddit user Affectionate_Cycle33 uploaded a video that shows their adventures through a legacy dungeon in Skyrim wielding modern firearms. The user plays in the first-person mode, wields two guns, one in each hand, and slaughters every enemy they encounter. The initial part of the video shows them carrying what seems like an assault rifle and destroying a giant spider. After this, the player wields a futuristic weapon that fires a powerful beam toward a foe, killing them instantly. From here on, Affectionate_Cycle33 equips an AK-47 rifle and rampages across the dungeon, destroying every enemy they see.
Furthermore, the video has an upbeat metal song in the background, making it even funnier. The final parts of the video show the user taking advantage of their surroundings by shooting at objects that explode, causing a fire. The original poster received tremendous praise from the Reddit community for sharing the funny video. Affectionate_Cycle33 also provided a link to the mod seen in the video, so gamers who want to play with guns in Skyrim should check it out.
The mod in question is called Skyrim Modern Weapons and was created recently by the user Mirci33. This gun mod adds 58 modern firearms to Skyrim, including AK-47, MP5, Desert Eagle, Grenade Launcher, and many others. Gamers who install this Skyrim mod can craft the weapons at the forge and recharge them with soul gems.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
