- Run the Application: Inside the extracted folder, locate the file with the term “appimage”. This is the executable file for the mod manager. Run this file to start the R2 Modman.
- Set Up the Mod Manager: When the R2 Modman launches, it will prompt you to select a game. Choose Bomb Rush Cyberfunk from the list. You can create different mod profiles to organize various mod setups. Select or create a new profile for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
- Install Essential Mods: In the mod manager, go to the “Online” tab to browse available mods. Download essential mods like “BepInExPack” (a framework required for many mods) and “Crew Boom” (for adding more characters). After this, you can simply browse and click on the mods you want to install, and they will be added to your game automatically.
- Start Modded: So, if you are happy with the mods available, you can simply hit the “Start Modded” option from the top right corner to start the game with mods. However, if you are looking to install custom mods from other sources, keep reading till the end.
