📋 About This Mod
Name: Grave Digger Version: 0. 2. 1b Author: XSirMartinX Category: Gameplay Effects and Changes ========================================================================================================== Description: ========================================================================================================== Are you tired of leaving dead bodies and creatures all over the wasteland? This mod allows you to bury the bodies of dead NPC\'s. It comes with a unique item, the Grave Digger Mask. In order to access the corpse menu, using the Z-Key (Grab) you need to equip the Grave Digger Mask. So, it is recommended to assign a hotkey to the mask.
