If you're a fan of online multiplayer horror games like *Content Warning* and *Lethal Company*, you might find *R.E.P.O.* to be right up your alley. Just like those games, you might wish for a bigger squad to tackle the horror together. Here's how you can use the lobby size mod in *R.E.P.O.* to make that happen.
Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.
By default, *R.E.P.O.* allows you to have six players in your lobby, which is already quite generous. However, if you're looking to increase that number, there's a mod that can help you do just that.
To get started, you'll need to download and install BepInEx from Thunderstore, a tool that enables you to run mods. Follow these steps:
- Download and install BepInEx.
- Download the More Players mod from Thunderstore.
- Open the .zip file containing the mod.
- Drag the plugins folder to the BepInEx directory within your game files.
Once you've completed these steps, the More Players mod is successfully installed in your game. Now, you're ready to adjust the lobby size to your preference.
How to Increase Lobby Size
To increase the lobby size in *R.E.P.O.*, you'll need to tweak the configuration files on your computer. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the BepInEx config folder.
- Use Notepad to open the file named
zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg
. - Find the line that says "Maximum Players" and change the number to your desired lobby size.
- Save the file and then launch the game.
For example, if you want to accommodate eight players in your lobby, simply change the number to 8. However, be cautious; setting the number too high might cause the game to crash, so adjust it carefully to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
That's how you can use the lobby size mod in *R.E.P.O.*. For more tips and information on the game, including strategies to deal with all the monsters you'll encounter, be sure to check out The Escapist.
