CrossbowSprintReload

Crossbow Sprint Reload

Reload crossbows while sprinting, with movement-based reload speed and optional keep-loaded when holstered on your back.

Behavior

| State | Reload |

|-------|--------|

| Sprinting | Allowed, vanilla speed |

| Standing / walking | Allowed, faster (default 1.5×) |

| Jump | Still cancels reload (optional config to keep it) |

| Holster on back (R) | Optional: stay loaded |

| Unequip / hotbar swap | Must reload |

Vanilla clears the action queue every sprint tick, which cancels crossbow reload. This mod keeps the reload action through that clear.

Works with Weapon Holster Overhaul (R = holster to back).

Config (F1 / Configuration Manager)

• Allow Sprint Reload — default on
• Non-Sprint Reload Speed — 1.0–3.0, default 1.5
• Allow Jump Reload — default off
• Keep Loaded When Holstered — default on (only while on the back via R / HideHandItems; not when fully unequipped)
• Affect Dundr — default on

Install

• Install BepInExPack Valheim
• Install this mod with your mod manager (r2modman / Gale) or drop the DLL into BepInEx/plugins
