Gamble PvP
Turns the co-op survival run into a 3-day free-for-all. Take loans, wager head-to-head, hire goons, snitch on rivals, haunt the living after you die. The mob still wants their cut.
What it does
- Multi-day match. Host adjusts day count (1–10, default 3) before play. Hard stop at the final day, then a podium screen with payouts.
- Per-player ledger. Every bet's win or loss attributed via MoneyManager. Your wealth = starting stake + cumulative gambling delta − active loan payback owed.
- Daily bankroll boost. Day 2 adds 2× starting cash, day 3 adds 4×. Comebacks stay possible.
- House clawback ending. End-of-final-day: outstanding debt comes off the top, survivor with the most cash wins. 50/30/20 weighted payout for top 3.
- Death cutscene routing. When the game ends, host transitions everyone to LoseStateScene so the mob-death sequence plays under the standings overlay.
The booths
A cluster of three glowing kiosks spawns near the nearest casino game when you enter the casino floor:
Loan Shark (gold)
- Day-scaling principal cap ($500 day 1, $1000 day 2, $2000 day 3)
- Stacking loans, escalating interest: 1st = 1.5× → 2nd = 2.5× → 3rd = 5× → 4th attempt = instant death
- Good-customer discount: pay back a loan and your next same-day loan is 1.25×
- Default at day-end = wounded (red vignette + half bankroll the next day, then clears). Default on final day = death.
Wager Booth (blue)
- Head-to-head coin flip vs. another living player
- $50 / $100 / $250 / $500 stakes
- 60s cooldown per challenger, 50/50 RNG
Mob Favors (red/black)
- Snitch (free): 50/50 RNG. Win → target loses 25% wealth, you get 10% finder's fee. Lose → you pay a 10% false-accusation fine. 30s cooldown.
- Hire Goons ($500): Pay $500, target loses $750. 90s cooldown.
During play
- Happy Hour: Random 30s windows every 60–120s where all casino payouts are +50%.
- Right-side player widget (base game native): Repurposed to show live PvP wealth (net of loans owed), sorted descending, green-up / red-down. The same nameplate art the base game uses.
- Profit line graph (base game native): Repurposed to track cumulative PvP wealth across the day.
- Tab stats panel: Per-day per-player ledger snapshots with delta-coloring (green/red), gold/silver/bronze ranks, auto-sized for any day count.
- Local HUD (top-left): Current day, wealth, active loan + payback owed, wounded/dead status.
- Lobby UI (top-right): Host adjusts days per game from any pre-casino scene. Press F2 to toggle the picker anywhere. Use + / - / 0 keys to bump the day count (mouse can't reach IMGUI buttons during gameplay due to camera lock).
Round-end summary
The base game's "STATS FOR DAY N" screen gets fully repurposed:
- Title becomes "PvP Standings · End of Day N"
- Top stat bar shows your Loans taken, Sabotages used, Wagers Won (replacing the legacy QUOTA/BALANCE/PROFIT)
- Profit graph shows your cumulative PvP wealth
- Right box shows ranked player standings with $wealth, plus PvP ticket awards:
- +2 🎟 per surviving player
- +3 🎟 to top earner
- The shared ticket pool credits the base game's UPGRADES screen — earn PvP, spend on upgrades
Black Market (home base)
A back-alley booth appears in your home base every day. Spend PvP tickets you've earned to gear up:
One-shot sabotage tools (use immediately or save for the casino):
- Bandage Kit – clears your wounded status before the next casino run
- Sweet Talk – your next loan comes at 1.0× interest (no escalation)
- Mob Bribe – your next goon hit just bounces off (you keep all your money)
- Snitch Insurance – if anyone snitches on you, the mob laughs in their face instead
- False Accusation – preloads a guaranteed snitch outcome on the next target you pick
Day-long buffs (active for the whole casino visit):
- Hot Streak – +25% on every casino win (compounds with Happy Hour)
- Liquid Courage – +50% wager payout when you win a head-to-head
- Loan Shark Patience – if you can't pay your loan at day-end, the shark grants an extension instead of
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
