Combat inBaldur’s Gate 3is already a fun experience, but it’s easy to fall into a pattern with multiple playthroughs. When you are already aware of the best weapons and builds for your class, sometimes the best thing to do is explore new and exciting modding options.

On this list, you’ll find weapons that not only ooze in aesthetic sexiness but also in gameplay enjoyment. From immersive additions to overpowered cheats, these mods will revitalize your adventuring experience and give you a little something extra to look forward to on your quest.

Skirbie’s Vintage Firearms Pack

This list would not be complete without a hysterical mention of Palmaman33’shilariously unhinged weapon series. Is this immersive? Absolutely not. Is it very funny? We guarantee it or your money back.

We had so much fun exploring the Sword Coast as an Arcane Archer who preferred the Winchester Rifle as their ranged weapon. All the animations are spot-on, and there is no hassle for ammunition between shots.

Wyll inspects the brand new Infernal Rapier Mizora presents him in Baldur’s Gate 3.

While not exactly balanced, this is the perfect mod for those looking to enjoy a night of hysterical laughter. After all, what better pick-me-up is there than Karlach sniping the Paladins of Tyr with a Barrett M82 sniper rifle?

Tadpole Powers from Early Access

For those who want something to overhaul their weaponry without straying too far from the immersive and the vanilla, look no further than Larian’s Leftovers. This mod adds all the forgotten, unfinished, or inaccessible material left out on the cutting room floor.

Items you might have missed from the Early Access make their return to center stage, as well as those never before seen. These items synergize well with the overworld, dispersed evenly throughout the enemies of Acts One through Three. Truly, there is nothing better for loyal fans of the game.

Shadowheart wields a new Sharran staff from the Sharran weaponry mod in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Several items on the mod page do not correctly spawn into their listed locations 100 percent of the time. This includes the Combination Axe and the Deadly Channeller Gloves, which did not appear for us during our testing.

Wyll’s Devilishly Handsome Armor,Wyll’s Devil Form,The Morninglord’s Morningstar

For those who were disappointed by Wyll’sunique companion weaponor who wanted more flexibility in its stats, look no further than Exaen’s crucial mod: Actually Infernal Rapier. This mod makes the Infernal Rapier into a legendary weapon worthy of the requirements to obtain it.

With this mod, the rapier:

Finally, Wyll can be that Barbarian of his dreams, supported by his mistress’s scantily clad sister. Just as Larian always intended.

Phalar Aluve as a Rapier

Phalar Aluveis a legendary weapon given to and blessed by Eilistraee. However, the base game marks it as only Rare with a small damage bonus. This mod aims to fix both problems by giving this weapon a technical and flavorful new look.

With better damage, a proper legendary marker, and brand-new light effects, this mod is an improvement of one of the game’s most iconic weapons. It doesn’t make Phalar Aluve too overpowered, and it helps the weapon keep its use well into Act Two and beyond.

For those who don’t like Phalar Aluve as a longsword and don’t want to change anything about the weapon’s stats, you can instead try Phalar Aluve as a Rapier. This is especially handy for Drow Clerics and Warlocks.

Shadowheart’s Better Starting Gear,NPC Redesign - Church of Shar

Although one can find a plethora of Sharran clothing, Sharran weapons are few and far between. Limited to only lackluster scimitars and crossbows, and two decent late-game weapons, those wanting something more exciting for the resident Sharran worshipper should look to AzazeL’s Sharran Weaponry.

This mod adds a new:

Beyond their sleek look, they come with interesting new and themed mechanics as well as glowing VFX effects for those who want their bark to be as flashy as their bite.

Sussur Bow

Sometimes, simple is best. The sussur weapons can sometimes feel a little underpowered for all the effort it takes to reach them and the level you are usually at when you finish the relevant Underdark sections.

This mod seeks to correct that slight issue by making the sussur weapons +2 items instead of +1. This should be paired with the Sussur Bow mod to expand your options. The best part of this pairing is that you’re able to get both the sussur bow and your choice of an additional sussur weapon for two of these unique silencing items.

Although we would recommendSussur Weapons Expanded, it requiresJWL Crafting Frameworkto function. This has not yet been updated for Patch 8 and is therefore unusable.

Midnight7DS(MightnightV2)

Critical Role Vestiges Of Divergence,Skirbie’s Death Archer - Progressive Equipment, Orochigago’s Homebrew Weapons And Wonders:Volume One,Volume Two

Progressive equipment is a quirky but intriguing concept for added weaponry. Although a bit overpowered, they add a unique flavor of gameplay that leaves you incentivized to level quickly to discover their new quirks.

If you’re worried about being overpowered from the start, you may ignore the Tutorial Chest add-on and instead focus only on purchasing them from select vendors, like Dammon. Their prices can be outrageous, meaning you’ll have to wait until much later to afford them.

Arcane Caster Pistol - Artificer Set

Making a return from theBest Clothing Mods, Fade’s Equipment Distribution provides a plethora of new weapon options that are evenly distributed throughout the entire gameplay. This won’t make you an overpowered god, but it will certainly make you excited to take on old bosses and foes in the hope that new items drop for you to explore.

With a gear set for every class and playstyle, you’ll have a little something for every campaign, making this one of the perfect overhauls for new saves.

You can choose to download this mod as an All-In-One or download specific class mods for your campaign. No matter your decision, we highly recommend bringing at least one part of Fade’s mods into your next adventure.
