Mods

Where to Download

Mods can be easily found through quick Google searches; there are many fan sites dedicated to Unreal Tournament 3 modding with the most popular being Beyond Unreal or Epic Games Official Forums. Epic Games Official Forums have a forum category for custom maps and mods. An Epic Games Forum post has the winners of the "Make Something Unreal" contest which list many great mods for different categories.

Maps

Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.

Characters and Skins

Characters are unique custom races that can be downloaded, skins are different color schemes or textures for current existing races.

Total Conversion

Total conversion mods use the game's engine, while letting you play a whole new game, for example The Ball mod which is a single player total conversion mod.

  • Total conversion mods can mostly be found in Mod DB's Unreal Tournament 3 page.
  • The Haunted is the winner of the "Make Something Unreal" contest and one of many entries of the contest that have gone commercial as a stand-alone game.
  • Angels Fall First is a large scale sci-fi multiplayer mod that has now undergone UDK development.
