How to Deal With Toxic Players (Without Ruining Your Game)

Team HangOn·16 Apr 2026·4 min read

Every gamer runs into toxic players. How you handle it decides whether it ruins your evening.

Mute early

You don't owe anyone your attention. Muting isn't losing an argument — it's choosing your game over theirs.

Report, don't retaliate

Reports work better than insults. On HangOn you can report users and content; our community guidelines explain what isn't allowed.

Build your own group

The most reliable fix is playing with people you choose. Use the squad finder to build a group that plays the way you do.
