All Admin Commands for your Unturned Server

Find out what the most useful admin commands are for Unturned servers.

Before executing any commands on your server, it’s important to first assign yourself as an admin and ensure that cheats are enabled. This step is crucial for gaining full control over the server’s functionalities and command executions.

Command Execution

You can get to your server’s console through the control panel. Just type your commands in the box you see there.

If you’re an admin, you can also run commands in the game. Just press J to bring up a box where you can type them in.

Some commands only work if cheats are on. Check this article about How to Enable Cheats on Your Unturned Server.

When typing commands in the game, start them with /. You don’t need to do this when you’re using the console.
