Self-found mode is a gameplay option in video games, particularly in multiplayer online games, where players choose to rely solely on items and resources they find or obtain on their own, without trading or receiving assistance from other players. This mode emphasizes self-sufficiency and the challenge of progressing through the game without outside help.

In self-found mode, players typically cannot trade with other players, nor can they use items or resources obtained from others. This means they must rely entirely on their own abilities to progress, including finding and crafting equipment, acquiring currency, and completing challenges or quests.
