WolfRAT wiki › Chat commands
❗ Chat commands
Everything players and moderators can type in game chat, in one place. All of it happens in the normal chat box - press T, type the command, press Enter.
On the Mods tab, Copy cheat sheet copies this whole list ready to paste into Discord.
Commands for everyone
| Type this | What it does | Switched on at |
|---|---|---|
!switch | Moves you to the other team. Once every 2 minutes. (Your admin may have changed the word.) | Chat Bot |
!kd | Your kills, deaths and kill/death ratio. !kd name shows somebody else's. | Messages |
!1 !2 !3 | Vote in the end-of-match map vote (up to !5 if your admin offers five maps). | Map Voting |
!vote mapname | Ask the server to switch to a map. Part of the name is enough. Others agree with !yes within 60 seconds. | Settings |
!skip | Ask to skip the current map. Others agree with !yes. | Settings |
!yes | Agree with the vote that is running. | |
!list | Shows the map rotation. | |
!ping | Shows your own ping. |
Commands for moderators
These only work for names on the Mods list. From anyone else they are silently ignored. Where a command needs a player or a map, part of the name is enough - !kick rook finds "Rookie", !map treasure finds "Treasure Island".

!weather off | Stops the changing weather; the sky goes back to the map's own. |
!weather status | Says whether it is on, and how often. |
Good to know
- Commands only work while WolfRAT is running and connected - it is WolfRAT that reads the chat and acts on it.
- Expect a few seconds' delay. WolfRAT reads the chat every 5 seconds.
- Type something WolfRAT does not know and it answers "Unknown command".
- Admins can type all of these from the phone page too.
