📋 About This Mod
Too many times have we perished because we accidentally picked up some loot, and now our tombstone doesn't give us everything right away. Too many times!
Now, the "corpse run" buff is given to you the moment you open the tombstone, giving you a bit of protection to actually loot it (or panic and dodge once you realize you don't have room/time). You no longer get the buff once the tombstone crumbles.
To avoid abuse, the buff will only be given to you once per life (though logging out and in will reset this, I suppose). You also cannot get the buff from tombstones that are not your own.
That's it. That's all the mod does.
Installation
To install manually, place the RunCorpseRun.dll file in the BepInEx/plugins folder. BepInEx has to be installed first.
I assume it will work with Vortex.
Depends on Jotunn to work, so you'll need that installed as well.
A small gameplay tweak for Valheim that triggers the corpse run buff when you open your tombstone, rather than when it expires. For players who want the buff immediately upon recovery, this mod offers a simple QoL change. With only 5 endorsements and 122 downloads, it's a niche utility with minimal community traction.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Direct QoL improvement for players who want the corpse run buff right when they grab their stuff.
- Tiny mod, easy to understand and likely lightweight.
- Niche but functional—does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low adoption (5 endorsements, 122 downloads) suggests limited testing or interest.
- Last updated in January 2023—may not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches.
- No documentation on installation or compatibility, so you're on your own if issues arise.
For Valheim players who find it annoying that the corpse run buff only kicks in after the tombstone expires, and want it immediately when they open it. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla behavior or want more substantial gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is likely a DLL or BepInEx plugin, make sure you have BepInEx installed for Valheim.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a .dll, drop it into the BepInEx/plugins folder.
- If the mod doesn't work after a Valheim update, check for a newer version or consider removing it.
