If you're a fan of *R.E.P.O.*, the online multiplayer horror game, and have also enjoyed *Content Warning* and *Lethal Company*, you might find yourself wishing for a larger squad size. Good news: you can increase the lobby size in *R.E.P.O.* with the right mod. Here's how to do it step-by-step.

Installing the More Players Mod in R.E.P.O.

By default, *R.E.P.O.* allows for a lobby size of six players, which is quite generous. However, if you're looking to include more friends in your horror adventures, you can expand this with the More Players mod.

To get started, you'll need to download and install BepInEx from Thunderstore, the mod framework tool that enables you to run mods. Follow these steps:

1. Download and install BepInEx.
2. Download the More Players mod from Thunderstore.
3. Open the .zip file.
4. Drag the plugins folder to the BepInEx directory within your game files.

Once you've completed these steps, the More Players mod will be installed and ready to use in your game. Now, let's move on to adjusting the lobby size to fit your needs.

How to Increase Lobby Size

To increase the lobby size in *R.E.P.O.*, you'll need to tweak the config files on your computer. Here's how:

1. Open the BepInEx config folder.
2. Use Notepad to open the zelofi.MorePlayers.cfg file.
3. Locate the line labeled "Maximum Players" and change the number to your desired lobby size.
4. Save the file and launch the game.

For example, if you want to accommodate eight players, simply change the number to 8. However, be cautious; setting the number too high might cause the game to crash, so adjust it accordingly.

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 for dealing with all the monsters, be sure to check out The Escapist.
