Unturned commands

Every command built into Unturned 3.26.3.14: 74 that work, with their syntax read from the game's own files, who can use each one and an example you can copy. Plugins such as RocketMod and OpenMod add their own commands, which aren't listed here.

How to type a command

Open the chat (J for global chat by default) and start the line with / (or @). Names are not case-sensitive.
Separate the parameters with a slash and no spaces: /give Nelson/363/2. The command name ends at the first space.
A player is any part of their Steam or character name, or their 17-digit SteamID64. With commands that can target someone else, leaving the player out targets you.
In the server console, type the same thing without the slash: give Nelson/363. Most commands report back only in the console, so in chat a command that worked often shows nothing.

How to turn on cheats in singleplayer

From the main menu go to Play, then Singleplayer, and pick the map.
Tick Allow Cheatcodes, then press Play Offline. The game remembers the tick for next time.
In game, open the chat and type a command, such as /give 363 or /experience 10000.

Only the spawning commands need cheats (the list). Teleporting, time, weather and/kill work in any singleplayer game, cheats or not. Server-only commands such as /ban do nothing offline.

How to become admin on your own server

Find your SteamID64, the 17-digit number Steam shows on your Account details page.
Open Servers/<name>/Server/Commands.dat in the server's folder (the server creates it, empty, on its first start) and add the line Owner 76561198… with your number.
To use /give, /vehicle and the other spawning commands, add a line with just Cheats.
Restart the server. You are now an admin every time you join.

To make someone else an admin, type admin and their name in the server console while they're online, or /admin in chat once you are one. On someone else's server only their admins can do that: no command makes you admin there.

Spawning items, vehicles and XP

These need cheats: the Cheats line in Commands.dat on a server, or Allow Cheatcodes in singleplayer. Leave out the player to target yourself.

Give

/Give [SteamID | Player]/[ItemID | Name]/[Amount]

This gives a player an item.

The item goes into the inventory (weapons and clothing are equipped when a slot is free), or drops at the player's feet when there is no room. The item can be its ID, its GUID or a name: an exact file or in-game name wins, then the first partial match, so an ID is the safe choice. Each copy is a full item; the amount is capped at 255.

SteamID \| Player	A player on the server: any part of their Steam or character name, or their 17-digit SteamID64. Leave it out to target yourself.
ItemID \| Name	Item ID (see the ID list), GUID or name.
Amount	How many, 1 to 255. Default 1.
Who can use it	Admins and the server console, when the server has the Cheats line. In singleplayer: with Allow Cheatcodes on.

/give 363

/give 15/5

Gives you 5 × Medkit.

Adds experience points, which pay for skills. It adds to what the player has; it can't take any away.

SteamID \| Player	A player on the server: any part of their Steam or character name, or their 17-digit SteamID64. Leave it out to target yourself.

Plugin commands

Many community servers run RocketMod or OpenMod. Their plugins add commands such as /tp, /i, /v, /home or /heal, with their own permissions. They aren't part of the game, so they aren't listed here, and they don't work in singleplayer or on a vanilla server.

Source: the 63 command files in Localization/English/Server/ of the Unturned 3.26.3.14 dedicated server, checked against the game code to see which are registered, plus 14 commands that only exist in the code. Not listed: four commands built only into the developers' test builds. Who-can-use and the notes come from reading the game's command code.
