Risk of Rain 2 – How to Have More Than 4 Players!

How to Have More Than Four Players!

In the Main Menu before you create a multiplayer game you must open the developer console; To do so you must press the following key combination: CTRL+ALT+` (The “`” key is below “ESC” and above “TAB” on most keyboards).

After you have done this enter the following commands into the console separately from one another with the X being replaced with the amount of players you want (Be aware that in the vanilla version of the game 16 is the max you can have):

• sv_maxplayers X
• steam_lobby_max_members X

You can now create your multiplayer game, more than 4 people will be able to join and it will show up in the server browser as the number you replaced X with e.g. 16/16.

Notes:

• If you have more than 4 players, you won’t see their characters in the lobby area, but they’re still in the game.
• Adding more players makes the game harder automatically – you’ll fight boss battles sooner and normal enemies will be stronger.
• If you’re playing with 3 or more extra players, it’s best to turn on the “swarms, soul & sacrifice” artifact. This gives everyone their own loot, so you don’t have to compete for chests with your teammates.
