FREAKHOSTING Unturned servers come with ten maps installed: PEI, Washington, Russia, Germany, Yukon, Alpha Valley, Monolith, Destruction, Tutorial and Paintball_Arena_0. Curated maps such as Hawaii, Kuwait, Elver, Buak and A6 Polaris, and a few official arena maps, are only on the Steam Workshop. To use one, add its File ID to WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, restart, then set Map in Game settings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Unturned map for a new server?

PEI is small and good for a few players. Washington, Russia and Germany are bigger. Curated maps such as Hawaii or Kuwait add new areas, items and vehicles but need a Workshop download.

Is Hawaii installed on my server?

No. Hawaii is a curated Workshop map. Add File ID 1753134636 and Hawaii Assets 1753131903 to WorkshopDownloadConfig.json and restart.

Do I lose my world when I change maps?

No. Each map has its own save, so you can switch back later.

Can I run two maps at once?

No. One server runs one map. You need a second server for a second map.
