How To Change The Difficulty On Your Barotrauma Server

Here's how to change the difficulty on your Barotrauma server. Mission rounds use the Level Difficulty (%) setting, while campaigns follow their own difficulty preset.

Changing Your Barotrauma Difficulty

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Gameplay, set Level Difficulty (%) to a value from 0 to 100.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Changing Your Campaign Difficulty

Campaigns don't use Level Difficulty (%); they follow the campaign difficulty preset instead.

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Campaign, set Difficulty Preset to Easy, Normal, Hard or Abyssal. Choosing Custom will allow you to use your own multiplier values from the Campaign settings.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.
