Traitors add an extra layer of tension and unpredictability to Barotrauma’s missions, giving players hidden objectives that can disrupt the crew or shift the course of a round. Enabling this feature on your server allows you to customize how often traitors appear, how impactful their objectives are, and how they influence overall gameplay. This introduction prepares you to configure the Traitor system so you can tailor the experience, whether you want subtle sabotage, high‑stakes deception, or a more dynamic and replayable multiplayer environment.
