About Squad: large-scale tactical military FPS
Squad is a 100-player tactical shooter where success comes from communication and coordinated movement, not lone-wolf reflexes. Build forward operating bases, drive transport and armor, command up to nine squads per team, and push objectives across massive maps that reward teams who plan together. It sits between arcade shooters and full military sim, with enough realism to matter and enough accessibility to keep matches moving.
Built for the official server browser
Squad's main in-game server browser only shows licensed servers; everything else sits in the Custom Browser. That license comes from Offworld Industries, and you apply for it as the server owner through OWI's licensing portal. Where we help: every Squad plan we offer runs 80 to 100 slots, inside Offworld's licensable range, and comes configured to meet the licensing requirements, so once your application is approved your server is discoverable directly inside Squad with no custom launchers or workarounds.
What you get with every Squad server
One-click mod installs through Steam Workshop, including custom maps, gameplay tweaks, and full conversion mods. DDoS protection on every node. Full control panel access to map rotations, ticket bleed rates, Admins.cfg, and RemoteAdminListHosts for hosted admin lists. Automated backups, server locations worldwide so players connect close to home, 24/7 expert support, and a 72-hour money-back guarantee if it's not the right fit.
How to Set Up a Squad Dedicated Server
With Host Havoc
The easy way: with Host Havoc
- Pick a plan and region. 80, 90, or 100 slots, closest to your players.
- License-ready out of the box. Your server meets Offworld's requirements for the official browser; you just apply for the license as the owner.
- Manage from the panel. Server name, map rotation, admins, RCON, and one-click Steam Workshop mods, no editing
.cfgfiles by hand.
Automated backups, DDoS protection, and 24/7 support included.
Without Host Havoc
The manual way: self-hosting
Squad's dedicated server runs on a Windows or Linux box that has to stay on 24/7, and it is demanding: plan for high-performance CPU cores (4.5GHz+) and 16GB+ of RAM, plus around 30 GB of storage. No GPU needed.
- Install the server with SteamCMD using the anonymous login and Steam App ID
403240:steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 403240 validate +quit - Edit the config files. Squad keeps its settings across several
.cfgfiles underSquadGame/ServerConfig(Server.cfg,Admins.cfg,Rcon.cfg,MapRotation.cfg, and more) for server name, max players, password, admins, and rotation. - Set launch options and forward the ports. Launch with
Port=7787 QueryPort=27165 FIXEDMAXPLAYERS=80 -log, then open UDP7787/7788,27165, and TCP21114(RCON) on your router and firewall. - Keep it running as a Windows service or in screen/tmux on Linux, with the VC++ and GLIBC dependencies it needs to launch.
After that it is on you: updating every couple of weeks when Offworld patches, scheduling config and save backups, restarting after crashes, and absorbing DDoS yourself.
