Mordhau’s combat settings are in Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini under [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameMode]. Set bIsThirdPersonCameraDisabled=True to turn off the third-person camera, change DamageFactor (default 1) and TeamDamageFactor (default 0.25) for damage and friendly fire, and PlayerRespawnTime (default 5) for respawns. Edit with the server stopped, then start it.

​
Is there an arrow camera or ragdoll setting?

No. Your server’s Game.ini has no arrow camera or ragdoll setting, and the Mordhau Wiki’s server guide lists none, so there is nothing to change on the server for these. Only use keys that are already in the file or that a guide or mod page names.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
How do I turn off friendly fire on my Mordhau server?

Set TeamDamageFactor=0.000000 in Game.ini with the server stopped, then start it.

​
How do I stop team killers?

Lower AutoKickOnTeamKillAmount, for example to 3. Admins can also kick or ban; see admin commands.

​
Can I change these settings while the server runs?

With RCON, ModifyIniVar changes a value in Game.ini or Engine.ini. Editing the file with the server stopped is simpler and safer. See RCON.
