How to Change the Map/Gamemode on your Mordhau Server

By default, your rental Mordhau dedicated server will only run the Free-For-All game mode on the "The Pit" map. Changing your server map and game mode is essentially the same thing as all maps have a prefix for the game mode they are used for. Fortunately, Shockbyte offers configuration options that allow server owners to change their Mordhau server's default game mode and map quickly.

Note: If you'd also like to configure an automated map rotation for your Mordhau server, please refer to this guide.

Changing your Server's Active Map/GameMode

After finding your desired map and game mode name, you can use it to change your server's default map/game mode using your server's control panel.

  1. Find your desired map name and game mode in this list; then copy it.
  2. Access your control panel and Stop your server.
  3. Navigate to Files > Config Files.
  4. Click MORDHAU Server Settings.
  5. In the Server Map field, enter your desired starting map name.
  6. Save and Start your server.
