PLAY GROUND BRANCH MULTIPLAYER

Ground Branch punishes rushing, so a team that plays the same server every week gets far more out of it than one dropping into public lobbies. Yours means a fixed address, your mission rotation and your rules on respawns and AI difficulty.

LOADOUTS, PLANNING, MISSIONS

Loadouts are built piece by piece rather than picked from a class list, and the AI does not telegraph. Mission settings, enemy counts and respawn rules are all yours, so a training session and a full operation run from the same server.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Ground Branch questions we get most often. Anything else is in the knowledgebase.

View FAQView FAQsKnowledgebaseKnowledgebase
What is a Ground Branch dedicated server?
It is a server that stays online whether or not you are playing, so your squad can drop in at any time without waiting for a host. You get the full 16 slots, control over game mode and map rotation, and a panel to change any of it between rounds.
How many players can join?
Sixteen. That is the ceiling the game itself sets, not a limit on the plan, so every Ground Branch server we sell runs the full roster.
Can I run Steam Workshop maps and mods?
We do not list mod support for Ground Branch today. Full SFTP file access is included, and the game's own documentation explains what it allows.
Does the server update itself?
Yes, by default. The server checks for a new build and validates its files each time it starts, so it comes back on the current version after a restart. You can turn that off from the panel if you want to hold a specific build.
How much RAM does Ground Branch need?
We measured an idle server at roughly 610 MB and sell the plan at 4 GB, which leaves room for a full 16 player round without the server ever competing with itself for memory.
How quickly is the server ready?
The server is created as soon as payment clears and you get panel access immediately. The first install pulls the game files from Steam, which usually takes a few minutes.
How much does a Ground Branch server cost at PlayNHost?
Ground Branch plans start at US$12.49 (€10.99) a month with 4 GB RAM and 16 player slots. That is the regular monthly price, before any first-month discount, and every plan includes DDoS protection, SFTP and 24/7 support.
What do you get with a Ground Branch server at PlayNHost?
A Ground Branch server at PlayNHost comes with: Live Console Access. You choose the region when you order (Europe, North America, South America, Asia or Australia), and setup starts as soon as payment clears.
