About this mod
"Pickitup" is an AI optimization mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord that enhances battlefield realism. It ensures soldiers who lose their weapons in combat don't fight unarmed like fools. Added feature to prevent dropped items from disappearing on the battlefield. Works well with other mods that have combat weapon drops.

After Use




Now you can even try taking some unarmed troops into the battlefield.
Introduction
When using the new Realistic Battle Mod (RBM), soldiers drop their weapons after being perfectly blocked or when their stamina is depleted, but they continue to charge forward unarmed like fools. This unrealistic behavior severely impacts the immersion and realism of the battlefield!
Version
✦[v1.2.4.2] - 2025-03-11
- If a soldier does not have a melee weapon on him, he will pick up the nearest melee weapon (including thrown weapons that can be switched to melee, and will not pick up un-pickupable weapons rooted in trees)
- Ranged soldiers make sure they have a melee weapon on them
- Soldiers who pick up one-handed weapons pick up shields (Needs to be turned on in the mod setting menu)
- CinematicCombatMod support:
- Does not pick up when performing a CinematicCombat action
New menu configuration items:
- Can configure the types of items that don't disappear and the types of weapons that soldiers will pick up

Tip
If RBM is used, this mod will by default revert the RBM's ammo reload modification to vanilla (faster and more stable).
- If you don't want to reset ammo reload to vanilla, please modify "EnableReloadResetPatch" to false in config.xml in the mod folder
- Changes will take effect on the next game launch
- Enabling this feature is recommended
