Here is how you enable mutators on your Insurgency: Sandstorm server. Mutators are the gameplay rulesets that ship with the game, such as Hardcore, Headshots Only and Hot Potato. You turn them on with the -mutators= launch switch, which goes in the Additional Switches setting in Bropanel.

Enabling Mutators

1
Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Settings.
3
Find Additional Switches and enter -mutators= followed by the mutator name, for example -mutators=Hardcore. To run more than one, separate them with commas like -mutators=HotPotato,Vampirism.
4
Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Mutators apply to every scenario your server runs. To turn them off again, remove the -mutators= switch and click Save & Restart.
