DIFFICULTY
- Reforged is balanced for players of all difficulties and maintains the difficulty options of vanilla Battle Brothers.
- It is recommended that players new to Reforged have a reasonable understanding of vanilla game mechanics and have survived at least one crisis.
INSTALLATION
- Follow our Installation Guide. Requires a fair few framework and utility mods. MSU will prompt you on the main menu if you're missing one.
- Highly recommended to use with:
- MSU Launcher
- Plan Your Perks
- Requires a new game! Not save-game compatible.
COMPATIBILITY
- Reforged is built from the ground up to be as compatible with as many mods as possible. However, Reforged is a massive mod that makes integral changes to many systems, so some mods may have a hard incompatibility. Mods that affect the same systems we do are more likely to be incompatible.
- We recommend experiencing Reforged without other mods first and familiarizing yourself with that experience before making adjustments or adding more.
- Not compatible with other overhaul mods such as Legends and Sellswords.
- See Installation Guide for recommended and compatible mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 424 endorsements and over 51k downloads — clearly resonates with players.
- Over 100 new perks means tons of build variety for theorycrafters.
- Dynamic spawn system keeps every run unpredictable, perfect for veterans who know the base game inside out.
⚠️ Cons
- Full overhaul means it likely changes core balance — not for purists who want vanilla experience.
- Last updated July 2026 — could be outdated if the game has received patches since then.
For Battle Brothers veterans who've exhausted the base game and crave deeper mechanics and more build options. Skip if you prefer the vanilla experience or want a lighter touch — this is a major overhaul that changes how the game plays.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's forum or Discord for community-made install guides, since the description lacks setup details.
- Start a new campaign after installing — overhaul mods often break existing saves.
- Experiment with the new perk trees in the character creation screen to plan your build before diving in.
