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

• 3-day match. No infinite quota loop. Hard stop after day 3, then a podium screen.
• Per-player ledger. Every bet's win or loss is attributed via MoneyManager.OnBalanceChanged. Your wealth is your starting stake + your cumulative gambling delta.
• Daily bankroll boost. Day 2 adds 2x starting cash, day 3 adds 4x. Bets scale up; comebacks stay possible.
• House clawback ending. Reading C of the design: at end of day 3, outstanding debt comes off the top, then the survivor with the most cash wins. 50/30/20 weighted payout for top 3.
• Death cutscene routing. When the game ends, the host transitions everyone to the base game's LoseStateScene so the mob-death sequence plays under the standings overlay.

The booths

A row 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 = 1.5x → 2nd = 2.5x → 3rd = 5x → 4th attempt = instant death
• Good-customer discount: pay back a loan and your next same-day loan is 1.25x
• Default at day-end = wounded (red vignette). 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, winner takes the pot

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%. Toast notifications announce.
• Stats panel (Tab): Per-day per-player ledger snapshots.
• HUD: Top-left shows your wealth, current day, active loan. Below: live ranking of all other players.
• Lobby UI: Host adjusts Days per game in HomeScene (1–10).

Ghost Mode

When you die, a panel appears bottom-right with a target cycler and a HAUNT button. Once per minute you can curse a living player for 30 seconds — their casino payouts are halved while haunted. Losing isn't the end of the game.

Installation

Install via r2modman — just click Install. All friends must install the same version for multiplayer to work properly. Manual installation: drop GambleWithYourFriendsPvP.dll into BepInEx/plugins/.

Config

BepInEx/config/com.chals.gamblepvp.cfg exposes:

• InterestMultiplier — first-loan interest (default 1.5)
• InterestMultiplierAfterPayback — good-customer discount (default 1.25)
• StartingMoneyPerPlayer — day 1 starting cash (default 1000)
• DaysPerGame — match length (default 3)
• StripQuotaCheck — disable mob-kills-you-on-miss-quota (default true)

Known limitations

• No sound effects. Unity 6's runtime audio API is broken for procedural clips; both SetData and PCMReaderCallback paths produce empty clips. Will revisit if Unity fixes the API.
• Booth visuals are primitive geometry. Functional, not pretty.
• Mixed-version multiplayer is unsupported. Update everyone at the same time.
