Welcome to Squad server hosting at Wasabi Hosting! Squad is Offworld Industries’ 100-player tactical first-person shooter where teamwork and communication win battles: combined-arms warfare with infantry squads, vehicles, logistics, and player-built fortifications across large-scale maps. Running your own server means your community plays by your rules: your map rotation, your admin team, your mods.

​
What Makes Squad Servers Special

  • 100 players across two teams, organized into squads with leaders coordinating over positional voice chat.
  • Logistics matter: supplies, forward operating bases, and vehicle claims give servers a real strategic layer that benefits from consistent, active administration.
  • Community-driven, because the best Squad experiences come from well-run community servers with clear rules and present admins. That’s exactly what this documentation helps you build.

​
Licensed vs. Unlicensed Servers

Squad community servers come in two flavors: Unlicensed servers are completely fine for communities, events, and testing, and many groups run one while building the playerbase and admin history that a license application asks for. If you obtain a license, you’ll add it via License.cfg (see Server Configuration).

​
Steam Workshop Mods

Squad supports mods through the Steam Workshop: custom maps, new factions, and full gameplay overhauls. Your server loads the mods, adds their layers to the rotation, and clients auto-download the mods when they join. See Installing Mods for details.
