Steel Bolt (Dawnguard)

The Steel Bolt is a weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

These bolts are used primarily by the Dawnguard. They can be fired with a Crossbow.

They do the same damage as a steel arrow.

Smithing
This item becomes smithable after recruiting the two named dawnguard members and asking Sorine Jurard how to make a crossbow. They require one Steel Ingot and one firewood to create 10 bolts.

Merchants
Sorine Jurard sells steel bolts inside Fort Dawnguard, upon completion of A New Order.

Obtaining steel bolts as a vampire

 * Occasionally, while in Skyrim a group of Dawnguard warriors ranging in numbers of 3-5 will attack the player. After killing them, it is possible to obtain an average of 15 bolts from each corpse.
 * It is possible to sneak into Fort Dawnguard and pickpocket steel bolts, crossbows, and other dawnguard equipment from various npc's inside the castle. However, one should take caution while doing this during the day when more soldiers will be patrolling the inside of the castle. Doing this method also avoids the need of fighting outside or, if you have a high sneak level, fighting at all.
