To our knowledge (2023 community, unofficial sources), BattleBit community servers were made possible with the developers' help and hosts rent them out; we could not verify a SteamCMD app or a current official procedure. This checklist helps you not miss a step.
How to use the tool
Find out the current procedure from official channels (Steam discussions, the game's Discord).
Choose the route: rent from a host or self-host if the studio allows it.
Tick the steps: settings, optional community API, passwords, testing, updates.

BattleBit API Runner (community)
BattleBit API Runner is an unofficial community project (GitHub repository RainOrigami/BattleBitAPIRunner) that implements the community server API and loads C# modules: run it with “dotnet BattleBitAPIRunner.dll” (Linux) or BattleBitAPIRunner.exe (Windows), then the game server connects to it. It is neither developed nor supported by the studio; see its wiki (Hosting Guide).
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a BattleBit dedicated server on SteamCMD?
- We could not verify one; a 2023 Steam thread mentions community servers granted with the developers' help, for larger communities. Ask through official channels.
- Is the API Runner required?
- No: it is an optional community tool for customizing the server with modules.
