Call of Duty RCon Guide


Rcon Login

Task Syntax Description
Login to rcon /rconpassword password It's better to store your rcon password in a game browser and not login through the console.

We recommend that you avoid logging in to rcon through the game console. If you mistype the command you risk printing your rcon password on screen for everyone on the server to see. Game browsers like All-Seeing Eye and HLSW can store your rcon password and log you in automatically when you join your server. Alternatively, you can create a key bind that enters in your password, for example: /bind r "rconpassword password".
