Barotrauma is a unique and challenging game in which players must explore dangerous depths while manning a giant submarine. There are many ways for characters to die in Barotrauma, and by default, they will respawn inside a distant shuttle once every five minutes. One popular way to reduce the game's difficulty is to shorten the respawn time so that players can return to the sub much sooner. In addition, various console commands are available to help reduce difficulty when needed.
Note: Respawn Settings can only be managed by server admins or players with specific permissions.
1. Join the server as an admin. Learn how to here.
2. Open the Respawn Settings menu.
3. Set the desired Respawn mode.
4. Adjust any Respawn Settings for the mode if allowed.
5. To disable typical respawns, set the mode to Permadeath.
Permadeath allows players to select Bot Takeover or Ironman options, allowing dead players to take control of a bot or only have one chance.
