Mutators for Insurgency: Sandstorm are special modifiers that change and add mechanics or modify the game by setting specific rules. These mutators can range from restricting the server to a specific weapon type, such as only Makarov's, to causing players to drop a live grenade when they die. These settings can be fun to use on a server and are a great way to introduce variety. This way, players can create the perfect environment for their server when combined with the available scenarios.

1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Startup tab.

4. From the Mutators field, toggle on the section and enter the desired mutators. Separate multiple mutators with a comma.

5. Start the server.
