A player ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas recently shared that they found an incredibly powerful bow while going through one of their playthroughs. Given that players can find some weapons inSkyrimwith random statistics, this fan’s overpowered discovery will probably let them breeze through the entire game without having to worry about getting better gear.

Skyrimis close to reaching its 12th year this 2023 and the community’s activity seems to show no signs of slowing down. Much like theRed Dead Redemption 2player base, fans remain involved with each other through online forums like Reddit. The platform is often filled with a lot of content about the action-RPG, whether it is a new discovery in-game, fan-created artwork, and evenmods that tweak theSkyrimgameplay experience. No matter the topic, the game’s community seems like an accepting and wholesome place to share the same interest for the title.

On Reddit, user maxwutcosmo posted a screenshot of thepowerfulSkyrimbow they foundwhile playing through the game. In the uploaded image, players may not find anything interesting at first, as it only showcases a seemingly typical Dwarven Bow. However, upon closer inspection, eagle-eyed fans will notice that the damage statistics of the bow are insanely high. Going past ten digits of damage stats, the player’s Dwarven Bow could potentially one-shot every foe that they face in the action-RPG. The original poster also noted that they were playingSkyrimwithout any mods and on their Nintendo Switch.

Commenters on the Reddit thread encouraged maxwutcosmo to take the item and use it for their own gain. This is likely not a new thing within the community, given that there are a handful of verypowerful monsters and enemies inSkyrim. Others also commented that the same kind of damage stat can probably be achieved through the well-known Restoration Loop trick via the game’s enchanting feature. However, given how buggySkyrimhas always been, and probably always will be, the Redditors seem to have chalked it up to the game simply being its glitchy self.

Nevertheless, maxwutcosmo likely enjoyed having found theincredibly powerfulSkyrimweaponand using it to defeat everything they encounter in-game. Hopefully the bow’s damage stat does not get affected by any future patches of the action-RPG on the Switch. Losing such an interesting piece of equipment would be a shame, especially since it was such a lucky find.
