Description
The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife, other inhabitants, the environment, and other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.
Rust now enters its 11th year of continued expansion and has had over 385 content updates, with a guaranteed content patch every month. These include regular balance fixes and improvements to AI, and graphics, as well as updates to environments and the frequent addition of content such as new maps, more weapons, extra vehicles, and a plethora of utility items. Keep an eye out for regular seasonal events, as there’s always something interesting or dangerous (or both) happening on the island.

EXPLORE
You wake naked on a mysterious island, armed only with a rock and a torch. You’ll need to brave environmental dangers and deficiencies (from heat and cold to thirst and starvation), build a shelter, eat (or be eaten), and scavenge materials. Explore the island and its abandoned settlements, mysterious monuments, and the factions that occupy them.
But, above all, watch out for other survivors…
BUILD
Design and build bases to store your loot, defend your territory, and control the resources of the island. Research the tech tree, grow farms, command electricity, and commandeer various forms of transportation to traverse the island. Whatever it takes to get ahead.
SURVIVE
There are no rules in Rust but the ones you make for yourself. Craft tools, armour, and weapons to defend yourself. Cooperate with friends, make alliances, and build a settlement together. Explore the island and what’s happening in it, trade with other players, or prey on them, raiding their bases and taking their hard-won goods.

About Rust
Rust is a multiplayer survival game developed and published by Facepunch Studios. It entered Steam Early Access in December 2013 and launched in full on February 8, 2018, for Windows and macOS. Created by the studio behind Garry's Mod, the game has sold over 12 million copies across all platforms.
Players spawn on an island with only a rock and a torch. The only objective is to survive. Resources including stone, wood, metal ore, and sulfur are gathered from the environment and used to craft progressively better tools, weapons, and armor through a workbench blueprint system. Early survival means managing hunger, thirst, and cold while gathering enough materials to build any form of shelter. As a base grows, it can be fortified with doors, locks, traps, and auto turrets to protect what is stored inside.
Other players are the primary threat throughout the game. Rust places no separation between hostile and friendly players. Anyone can attack, raid, and steal from anyone else at any time, and base raiding using explosives and breach tools is a central part of mid and late-gameplay. Alliances form and collapse, and rebuilding after a raid is a normal part of the cycle for most players.
Wildlife, including bears, wolves, boars, and sharks, adds environmental pressure alongside NPC helicopter patrols and armored personal carriers that roam the map and attack armed players. Official servers run on a monthly wipe cycle, resetting all progress and structures.
Softcore Mode for a less punishing experience was added in early 2021. Hardcore Mode for a more demanding ruleset was followed in September 2022. Both are available as server options alongside the standard ruleset. Rust holds a Very Positive rating on Steam.

Rust is an online-only game and requires an active internet connection and a server to play. Solo play is possible by joining a server alone or finding low-population servers, but the game has no offline mode. Some community servers are specifically set up for solo or small group play with adjusted rules.
A wipe is a full server reset that removes all player-built structures, stored items, and progression from the map. Official servers wipe on a monthly schedule, though the timing varies by server type. Community servers set their own wipe schedules, which can range from daily to monthly. Wipes give all players an equal starting point and are a core part of how the Rust experience cycles over time.
Raiding is the act of attacking and breaking into another player's base to steal their stored resources and loot. It is carried out using explosives, rockets, and other breach tools capable of destroying walls, doors, and structures. Protecting a base from raiders is a significant part of mid and late-game strategy, and raiding other bases for supplies is one of the primary ways players progress.
Yes. The standard mode is the default experience with full PvP and survival mechanics. Softcore Mode, introduced in early 2021, reduces the penalty on death by allowing players to recover half their inventory from a reclaim terminal, making it more accessible for newer players. Hardcore Mode, added in September 2022, increases the challenge by removing the map and making survival more demanding overall.
