Multiplayer Server Commands

Warning

⚠

Reports have been circulated of a script exploit that allows a non-admin player to force an in-game admin to issue Admin commands. Either #logout of server admin when not required, or consider using BattlEye's RCon tool to administer the server out of band

HowTo

You can access the command line by pressing the chat key (default: /).
In the chat input window you can type any of the following commands in and confirm them with the enter key.
You have to add the # character before the command.
