How to Increase Max Player Slots in KF2

​

Scaling the Squad

---

Killing Floor 2 is balanced for 6-player cooperative play. However, many community servers prefer a “Chaos” environment with 32, 64, or even 100 players. While the engine supports these numbers, several technical steps are required to ensure the UI and scoreboard function correctly.

​

1. Configuration Changes

1. Open PCServer-KFGame.ini.
2. Locate the MaxPlayers variable:
   • MaxPlayers=64
3. Restart the server. Any player can now join via the open IP console command even if the server browser says 6/6.

2. Fixing the Scoreboard (Mutators)

By default, the game UI will only show the first 6 players. To see everyone, you must install a “Large Player UI” or “MaxPlayers” mutator from the Workshop.

• These mods modify the KFGame.u or use a custom HUD class to display more than 6 rows on the status screen.
