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

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