</>What does Melon Head (Size Dial) do?
Big head mode is the oldest joke in multiplayer games and Gang Beasts wears it better than most, because the head is attached to a floppy body that has to carry it. Two dials: one for the head, one for the body. Give yourself a wobbling great melon that throws off your balance every time you turn. Shrink your body to a scurrying little gremlin. Make the head tiny and the body huge for a genuinely unsettling silhouette. Every combination changes how you actually move, because it's all real physics underneath. This is a party-night mod first and foremost — hand everyone a different set of proportions and let the screenshots happen. Add Float Mode and the big-headed ones start drifting like balloons. Because Beef City runs its brawls on whoever opened the game, this works in solo, in local couch play, and online when you are the one hosting.

It's all real physics underneath, so every combination changes how you move. On ProjectMods.
</>Common questions about Melon Head (Size Dial)
What does Melon Head do in Gang Beasts?
Melon Head resizes your fighter using two separate dials, one for the head and one for the rest of the body. Big head mode is the oldest joke in multiplayer games, and Gang Beasts wears it better than most because the head is bolted to a floppy body that then has to carry it around. Grow a wobbling great melon, shrink yourself into a scurrying little gremlin, or go for a tiny head on a huge body for a genuinely unsettling silhouette. A master switch puts you back to standard proportions the moment the joke has run its course.
How big can I make the head and body in Melon Head?
The head dial goes up to about 5 times normal, and the body dial to about 2, which are the largest sizes that still hold together properly in Gang Beasts. On both dials, 1 means your normal size, so 2 on the head is a comfortably silly melon and 5 is the full wobbling disaster. You can also go below 1 on either, which is where the gremlin builds come from. Staying inside those ranges keeps your fighter behaving like a fighter rather than a shape, which matters because the entire mod is only funny while you're still trying to brawl.
Does changing size actually affect how you fight in Gang Beasts?
Yes, and that's the best part. Melon Head isn't a costume, because Gang Beasts moves everything with real physics, so a giant head genuinely throws your balance off every time you turn and makes you top-heavy on ledges. A shrunken body is harder to grab and quicker to scuttle about, while a huge body has weight behind it and shoves people around simply by existing. Every combination of the two dials changes your reach, your centre of gravity and how easily you get knocked over, so builds end up with real personalities rather than just being a look.
Can I shrink myself instead of growing in Gang Beasts?
Absolutely, and the small builds are underrated. Because Melon Head gives you head and body separately, dropping the body dial below 1 turns you into a tiny darting menace who's genuinely awkward to grab in the middle of a Gang Beasts scrum. Shrinking the head instead leaves you looking like a pinhead bodybuilder, which is somehow worse than the melon. The pairing everybody eventually finds is a huge body with a tiny head, or a tiny body under an enormous head that keeps toppling it over. Mix and match, then hand each friend a different set of proportions.
Is Melon Head worth using on a party night?
It's built for exactly that. Melon Head is a party-first Gang Beasts mod, and the routine that works is giving everybody a different set of proportions before a round and letting the screenshots take care of themselves. It works in solo, in local couch play, and online when you're the one hosting, since Beef City runs its brawls on whoever opened the game. Stack it with Float Mode and the big-headed fighters start drifting around like balloons, which is where most groups end up laughing hard enough to lose the round entirely.
