Summary
Mutators for Insurgency: Sandstorm are special modifiers that change and add mechanics or modify the game by setting specific rules. These mutators can range from restricting the server to a specific weapon type, such as only Makarov's, to causing players to drop a live grenade when they die. These settings can be fun to use on a server and are a great way to introduce variety. This way, players can create the perfect environment for their server when combined with the Available Scenarios.
