Vanilla armory is a Vintage Story mod by WolfWarrior, StellarRover and ExUriel. Vanilla armory restores unused weapon models and adds balanced swords, maces, axes, spears, knives, bows, shields, and armor in a vanilla style.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this addon if you want more practical medieval equipment without elaborate progression gates or excessive cosmetic variants. It suits players who prefer new gear to look and behave like natural parts of Vintage Story.
What Vanilla armory adds
Vanilla armory turns several ruined weapon designs into usable relics and expands the arsenal with four types each of swords, maces, axes, spears, and knives. The equipment follows the existing metal progression, including ornate variants where appropriate, while each weapon receives its own damage and handling profile rather than sharing identical statistics.
The ranged selection gains two bows and a boomerang-like throwing stick. Basic spears receive damage tiers, and the added weapons work with the quenching system; swords and axes can be sharpened, with most weapons also receiving dedicated combat sounds.
Armor additions include iron and steel lamellar, improvised bone and wooden protection, lore-themed armor, bucklers, and a forlorn tower shield. Lamellae can be produced directly in the crafting grid, making the new armor more practical to assemble.
