How to Enable Traitors on Your Barotrauma Server

Enable traitors on a Barotrauma server

1 min read
Apr 10, 2026

You can enable the traitor system so that players may be secretly assigned as traitors during rounds.

  1. Join the server as admin
    Join your server and make sure you have admin rights.

  2. Open Game Mode Settings
    While in the server lobby, open the Game Mode Settings menu.

  3. Open Traitor Settings
    Navigate to the Traitor Settings section.

  4. Set Traitor Probability
    Set Traitor Probability to a value greater than 0. A higher value means traitors appear more frequently.

  5. Set Max Danger Level
    Set the Max Danger Level to control how difficult traitor objectives can be.

  6. Set minimum players
    Set the minimum number of players required for a traitor to be assigned. This prevents traitors from appearing in very small crews.

  7. Start the round
    Apply the settings by starting a new round.
