For fans of online multiplayer horror games like Content Warning and Lethal Company, R.E.P.O. offers a familiar yet enhanced experience. One key improvement? The ability to expand your squad beyond the default size. This guide shows you how to use the lobby size mod to increase the number of players in your R.E.P.O. games.
Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.
R.E.P.O. initially allows for six players, but if you crave larger squads, a mod can help. This requires the BepInEx mod framework. Follow these steps:
- Download and install BepInEx from Thunderstore. This is the essential framework for running mods in R.E.P.O.
- Download the More Players mod from Thunderstore.
- Open the downloaded .zip file.
- Locate the "plugins" folder within the .zip and drag its contents into the BepInEx directory located within your R.E.P.O. game files.
- That's it! The More Players mod is now installed. The next section details how to configure it.
How to Increase Lobby Size
To adjust the maximum number of players, you'll need to modify a configuration file:
- Open the BepInEx config folder (usually found within your R.E.P.O. game directory).
- Use Notepad (or a similar text editor) to open the
zelofi.MorePlayers.cfgfile. - Find the line that says "Maximum Players" and change the numerical value to your desired lobby size. For example, setting it to "8" will allow for eight players.
- Save the file and launch the game.
Important Note: Setting the maximum players too high might cause the game to crash. Start with a moderate increase and adjust as needed.
With the lobby size mod installed and configured, you're ready for larger, more chaotic horror sessions in R.E.P.O.. For more R.E.P.O. tips, strategies, monster guides, and more, be sure to check out The Escapist!
