KickUI
A simple and intuitive mod that adds kick buttons to the Risk of Rain 2 scoreboard, allowing hosts to remove players from their lobby with ease.
Features
- Kick buttons next to player names - Appears in the TAB scoreboard for easy access
- Host-only - Buttons only appear for the game host
- Confirmation dialog - Optional "Are you sure?" prompt before kicking
- Kick notifications - Optional chat message when a player is kicked
- Fully customizable - Button theme, size, and position via Risk of Options
Why This Mod?
Risk of Rain 2's built-in Steam kick commands (kick_steam) are currently broken, making it difficult or impossible for hosts to remove disruptive players. This mod bypasses those broken commands by using the game's internal NetworkManagerSystem, providing a reliable kicking solution with a clean UI.
Usage
- Host a multiplayer game
- Open the scoreboard (TAB key)
- Click the "Kick" button next to any player's name
- Confirm (if enabled) and they're gone!

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
