Barotrauma Server Hosting, Explained

What is Barotrauma?

New to Barotrauma?

What is Barotrauma?

Barotrauma is a 2D co-op submarine simulator with survival horror and RPG elements, set in the ocean under the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa. Up to 16 players crew one submarine as Captain, Engineer, Mechanic, Medic, Security officer or Assistant. You run the reactor, sonar, pumps and weapons, fix leaks and fires, treat injuries and fight sea monsters, while a traitor may be working against you. In campaign mode you take missions between outposts, earn talents and build reputation with the factions, heading deeper toward the Abyss.

Every Crew Member Counts.

Wiring, the reactor and the medical system give every player a job, and communication keeps the sub alive.

Trust No One.

Work together, or brace for betrayal when there is a traitor on board.

Why rent a server?

What is Barotrauma Server Hosting?

When one player hosts, the campaign lives on their PC, which runs the game, Steam and the server at once, and the session ends when they leave. A dedicated Barotrauma server keeps the campaign online on its own, so the crew can meet up without waiting on the host. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the server name, password and play style in the panel, round and campaign settings in the config editor, a choice of vanilla or LuaCs For Barotrauma, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always-On Campaign.

Your campaign stays online when the host logs off, so the crew can play when it suits them.

Full Control.

Set game mode, traitors, respawns and campaign settings, and play vanilla or with LuaCs.
