To use admin commands on a FREAKHOSTING Killing Floor 2 server, join the server, open the game console and type AdminLogin followed by the Admin Password from Startup. Most admin commands then start with Admin, for example Admin Kick PlayerName or Admin Switch KF-Outpost. Type AdminLogout when you are done.

​
How to make yourself admin on your KF2 server

1

Check the Admin Password

In the Game Panel, open Startup and note the Admin Password. You can change it there; restart the server afterwards.
2

Join the server

Join your server in Killing Floor 2.
3

Log in

Open the game console and type:
Anyone with the Admin Password has full control of the match. Don’t post screenshots of the Startup page, because its Startup Command card shows the password. Share it only with people you trust, and change it if it leaks.

​
KF2 admin commands list

Without the Admin prefix, commands such as Kick or KickBan aren’t recognised.

​
Can I run admin commands from the Game Panel console?

The panel Console shows the server’s log while it runs, which is useful to check start-up and Workshop downloads. Use the commands above in the game console while you are on the server. For a browser admin panel, see WebAdmin.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why does AdminLogin say the password is wrong?

Type the Admin Password exactly as shown on Startup, with matching capitals. On a brand-new server the password is applied from the second start, so stop the server and start it again.

​
How do I change the KF2 admin password?

Change Admin Password on Startup and restart the server. The panel writes it into LinuxServer-KFGame.ini for you, so don’t edit AdminPassword= in the file.

​
Does a map switch reset my settings?

Admin Switch only changes the map until the next restart. After a restart, the server uses Map Name and the other Startup variables again.
