Dead body despawn time

Recommended Posts

i believe it states an hour but starts degrading right away... you may find you can get to some of your stuff if you get there quick... some may be gone... sometimes if you had a backpack of stuff it might still be there

1 Hour is correct.  All things on the body will despawn, including the weapon/tool in your hands at the time of death.

1hr unless your on a modded server like mine where it's 4hrs. So could be different!

In the official globals.xml file, the value for CleanupLifetimeDeadPlayer is set to 3600 seconds or an hour.
