By default, Lethal Company only supports up to 4 players, but with the MoreCompany mod (download here) applied, players can experience the game in 8 player teams. The mod is fairly simple to install, and you should be ready to team up with 7 of your friends in no time.
How To Install Lethal Company Mod For 8 Player Gameplay
In order to install the MoreCompany mode, follow the steps listed below.
- Install BepinEx
- Place BepInEx/plugins/MoreCompany.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder
- Make sure everyone joining you has this mod installed
In in order to accommodate the larger player size, the scavenge results screen has been modified to fit 8 players and will show their missing/deceased/alive states accordingly, the spectating screen properly fits greater than 4 players if they die, and the quickmenu player volume section accounts for greater than 4 players, with a scrollable UI.
As of writing, the latest build of the MoreCompany mode is version 1.4.2, which fixed an issue with death screen rendering above the results screen. Future updates are said to potentially add some more cosmetics.
