Firstly, you need to head over to Thunderstore and to Brutal Company’s install page. Before you can begin playing the modded version of Lethal Company, you’ll need to download the following essentials:

Be sure to select manual download and place these files in the most convenient place for you.

After downloading these files, you’ll need to download Brutal Company next. Place all of these files together in a zipped file for easy access. To install this mod, head over to the Lethal Company folder via Steam. Right-click on Lethal Company and select Properties. Go to the Installed Files tab and hit Browse.

Install BepInExPack and LC_API by dragging all of the items inside both zip folders into the Lethal Company folder. Finally, place the Brutal Company mod into the BepInEx folder for Lethal Company.
