About this mod Author’s original text
Gang Beasts Sandevistan — Local Couch Co-op Beta
Each local player can activate their own Sandevistan with R3. Every Beast has an independent three-second active window and six-second cooldown. Activations can overlap: the world remains at 20% speed while any Beast is active, while active Beasts receive scoped movement and physics compensation with motion trails.
Compatibility and safety
- Xbox PC Gang Beasts 1.28 only.
- Local/offline matches only. The mod rejects sessions with remote human players.
- This is a beta. Test it with the standard Gang Beasts maps and report issues with reproducible steps.
Installation
Install this package through Mod Manager or r2modman. It declares and installs MelonLoader 0.7.3 automatically.
If you install manually, put GangBeastsSandevistan.dll in the game’s Mods directory after installing MelonLoader 0.7.3. Remove older copies of this mod before updating.
Controls
- R3: activate or cancel the Sandevistan for the Beast paired to that controller.
- F7: select the keyboard fallback target.
- F8: activate or cancel the keyboard fallback target.
L3 is not required.
Beta limits
The mod passed structural, input, timer and safety checks. Wider couch co-op gameplay coverage is still needed, particularly for controllers, grabs, knock-outs, recovery, collisions, water, moving platforms and three or more local players.
The world clock slows known scenery and vehicles. Map scripts that use unscaled time may not follow the 20% effect. If a player keeps unexpected speed or slow motion does not clear, please report the map, player count, controllers, steps, expected result and actual result at the GitHub issue tracker.

Source, standalone release ZIPs and SHA-256 checksums are available from the GitHub releases page.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- 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.
