Unturned Server Commands
Last modified on Jun 28, 2023 in unturned
Overview
When owning an Unturned Server, you may eventually find yourself in need of making server adjustments. With an extensive list of Unturned commands, you may be unaware of all the available changes each of them performs. With these commands you can change the time of day, moderate a server, or even give yourself items to customize your gameplay experience. Inputting and familiarizing yourself with so many Unturned server commands can be confusing, so we have created this Apex Hosting guide to ease you into the world of Unturned commands.
Inputting Commands
To use these commands, you will want to press “J” in-game to open the text box. Then simply enter your desired command starting with a “/”. Additionally, you will need to ensure you are set as an admin.
Alternatively, some commands can be used in the Apex Server Panel console. When using commands directly in the console, omit the “/” at the beginning of each command.

Common Issues
No commands are working:
If you are using commands in-game, ensure you have added yourself as an admin. After that is done, make sure you are starting each command with a / in order for the game to register it as a command. If you are using commands in the console, make sure to omit the / and use each command without it.
Some commands work, while others do not:
Some Unturned commands will work by default, while others need to have cheats enabled. To solve this, visit the Config Files on the Apex Server Panel, then open the Commands.dat file. On a new line, add Cheats Enabled. Once complete, press Save, then restart the server.
