Lethal Company is a co-op game about being disposable corporate employees sent to retrieve valuable resources left behind in off-world facilities.

Of course, the places you’re going to visit aren’t going to be entirely safe, or even uninhabited, so the fact that you have help is essential. But what about… having more help?

The default

If you want to jump into action right away, you will be limited to a 4-player party.

It can be enough to complete the tasks, survive, and engage in shenanigans, but it’s obviously not ideal if you have more than three people interested in playing.

What can you do in such a case?

Push it to the limit

If you want to have more than 4 people in your party, you need to resort to modding.

But don’t worry! It’s not too complicated, and once you’re done, you’ll be able to have even 20 people in a single session, which is objectively too many, and, as a result, the ideal number to have a delightfully chaotic experience, perfect for a community gaming night.

Is it safe?

This method has been used by tens of thousands of people. The biggest risk you’re running will be the possible strain on your PC, as the game wasn’t designed to easily handle such a large player count.
