# Disable the Anti-Cheat on a Rust Server

Information on how to Disable the Anti-Cheat on a Rust Server

## Summary

Turning off anti-cheat on a Rust server is usually discouraged, as it can create an uneven playing field and risk undermining the game’s integrity. That said, there are cases where it may be required — for example, when testing mods or custom changes that interfere with anti-cheat systems. Some servers might also temporarily disable it for special events or alternative game modes that operate under different rules or mechanics.
