Corpse Carrier: Tank-Style secondary replacement

Press R near an intact corpse to pick it up and use it as a shield. You cannot attack while holding it, but all incoming frontal damage is dealt to the corpse instead of you. After receiving 300HP* worth of damage, the corpse will gib. Press R to gib the corpse early.

*Corpse HP, corpse-carrying movement speed and other stats are subject to change.
