Unturned is a free open-world survival game, where players shoot zombies, hunt animals, and forage for food with friends.
You’ll need a shared game server (which you can rent from Hostari) to connect to the same lobby. While playing the game, you’ll be able to enter all sorts of commands to make things like server and player management easier.
We’ll be covering some of the most useful server commands for Unturned—but first, let’s explain what a server command is.
What are Unturned Server Commands?
Unturned server commands allow you to make adjustments to your server, such as changing the time of day, adding items to your inventory, and banning players. You can type these commands into a chat box — just make sure to start them with a @ or / so the game recognizes it as a command.
Here’s an example command:
/Teleport [SteamID | Player]/[SteamID | Player | Location]
Use forward slashes to separate command parameters (duration parameters should be in seconds).
Types of Unturned Server Commands
Owner-Only Commands: These commands can only be executed by server admins (e.g., enable save file syncs).
Player Moderation Commands: These commands deal with player management (e.g., ban or kill players in-game).
User Commands: These commands are open to all players (e.g., help and flag).
Cheats: The cheats command must be enabled in order for these to work.
Lists & Logs: These commands showcase lists of players (e.g., admins and ban).
Whitelisting: These commands help you manage your whitelist (e.g., adding or removing players).
