What Each Setting Does

Player Unlink

Allows players to use /unlink to unlink themselves.

Players can only unlink within 48 hours after using /link.

Change Nickname

Sets a player's Discord nickname to their linked gamertag when they use /link.

Online Link Only

Requires players to be online on your server when they use /link.

Turn this on to stop players from linking gamertags that are not actually theirs.

Market

Allows players to sell items from their /bag on the community market.

Other players can then buy those listed items.

Shop

Allows players to purchase items through /shop.

Turn this on if you want your shop system active.

Bypass Bag

Makes items claimed from /shop activate instantly instead of going to /bag.

Use this if you want shop purchases to apply right away.

Item Swapping

Allows players to move server-bound items in /bag to another eligible server.

  • Both the source and destination server must be active and have Item Swapping enabled.
  • The Swap control appears when at least two eligible servers are available.
  • Swapping changes the item's server binding; it does not duplicate or deliver the reward.

Binds

Enables or disables the auto kits and binds set up on your server.

Turn this on if your server uses bind-based rewards, kits, or commands.

Battle Pass

Enables or disables the Battle Pass for your Discord server.

Use this if you want players to earn rewards through Battle Pass progression.

Offline Protection

Enables or disables offline protection, also called ORP.

This helps protect player bases while they are offline.

Auto Spawns

Turns on custom spawn points for your server.

Spawn points must be added first with /spawn add.

Note Feed

Broadcasts anything written on an in-game note to everyone in game.

This can be useful for server events, messages, or player communication.

Event Timers

Shows players when the next server events are going to happen.

Players can trigger this in game by using the hurry up command.

Player Tracking

Enables player position tracking.

Only turn this on if you are using Auto Spawns or Portals.

Skip Night (Premium)

Lets players vote to skip night in game.

Configure On/Off, a fixed vote count or percentage, and what time "day" is set to.

  • Choose Number, #, Percent, or % when setting the threshold mode.
  • Number and percentage values accept 1–100.
  • Percentage mode recalculates against the current online count and rounds up, with a minimum of one vote.
  • Day Time accepts 0 through 23.99.
  • The custom successful-vote message supports up to 500 characters.

The vote threshold can be a flat number of votes or a percentage of online players — set Number or Percent to Number, #, Percent, or %.

  • Number and percentage values accept 1–100.
  • Percentage mode recalculates against the current online count and rounds up, with a minimum of one vote.
  • Day Time accepts 0 through 23.99.
  • The custom successful-vote message supports up to 500 characters.

Daily Login Bonuses (Premium)

Set up daily rewards players claim with /daily.

  • Players claim one day per 24 hours and must be online on the server when claiming.
  • Missing a day (48 hours without a claim) resets the player back to Day 1.
  • After the final configured day, the cycle restarts at Day 1.

Scrims Start by Anyone (Premium)

Allows any player to start scrims, instead of staff only.

PvE in Feed

Enables or disables PvE and environmental deaths in the Discord and in-game killfeeds and associated PvE statistics.

This includes scientists, animals, traps, turrets, falling, drowning, radiation, cold or heat, cargo, helicopters, and other recognized environmental causes. Helios uses a friendly cause-specific message when a custom PvE template is not configured.

Turn this off if you only want player-versus-player kills showing.

Bounties

Enables or disables bounties for this server.

Use /bounty to place a bounty or edit existing bounties.
