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.
