We tried to preserve the proportions and purpose of each location while opening up new paths and adding way to improve the flow of movement and cover throughout.

The new cliffs come in two types, tall coastal cliffs placed close to the ocean and sloped inland cliffs covering hills and mountains. A lot of effort was made into making them not only look realistic, but also easy to traverse. You can run up the inland cliffs with ease, while the coastal cliffs can be scaled by jumping on the rocky ledges and protrusions. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_cliffs02_03.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_cliffs02_02.jpg In addition we have added many new coastal rocks close to the shore to further spice up the world. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_cliffs02_11_alt1.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240905/rust_worldupdate_preview_18.jpg REVAMPED ROCK FORMATIONS We have completely revamped all large rock formations in the game and decided to bring back some of the old fan favorites. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_rocks02_10.jpg Formations such as the god rock, anvil rock and arch rock all return to the game. Completely new rock formations have been added and some of them even spawn off shore allowing for more base building possibilities than ever before. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_rocks_02.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241002/rust_worldUpdate_rocks_08.jpg UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTS In Rust, you will now find several different canyons, lakes, and oasis of various sizes in each procedurally generated map. Canyons, Lakes, and Oases – each offering a fresh way to play with their own pros and cons. Canyons provide narrow pathways for ambushes but can be risky to navigate. Lakes create opportunities for resource gathering and farming but leave you vulnerable in open water. Oases are lush safe havens with valuable resources but will become hotspots for fierce competition. Canyons These towering landscapes offer fresh opportunities for ambushes and base building. While the narrow pathways and steep drops make for thrilling combat and stra...TIME TO KILLSep 5, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDIGITAL CLOCK Meet the Digital Clock, a new craftable item, a simple but powerful addition to your base's electrical setup. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240823/digital_clock_02.jpg When powered, it displays the current server time Consumes 1 power Available at the Tier 2 Workbench Craftable for 100 Metal Fragments The clock also allows you to set up alarms. When an alarm goes off, the power will pass through, allowing you to trigger any sort of circuit inside your base at specific times. Whether you want to automate your farms, activate traps, or control lighting systems, you can set up to five alarms simultaneously. GCO WEAPON ATTACHMENT A powerful new cutting-edge experimental weapon attachment for those who crave more damage and speed in their shots. The Gas Compression Overdrive attachment boosts projectile damage and velocity, allowing you to hit harder. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240905/rust_202409_ttk_heroimage.jpg However, this extra power comes with trade-offs, a slower fire rate and increased recoil. If you can handle the extra kick, this attachment is maybe for you. The GCO attachment works on the following weapons: Thompson, SAR, SAP, M92, M39 and the Custom SMG. WALLPAPERS This month, we're adding wallpapers, a new way to decorate your base's interior. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240828/rust_wallpaper_placement_01.jpg Wallpapers can only be applied to the interior side of your walls. Purely visual, they don't provide any additional protection, are easy to remove and won't interfere with the deployment of any other items. Default blueprint Crafting cost: 10 cloth for 2 pieces of wallpaper Includes 'Vintage' default skin in 4 colours - blue, red, green and yellow https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_defaultskins_02.jpg Just like other deployable items, wallpapers can be skinned during crafting, in a repair bench or after being deployed using the spray can. Wallpaper Starter Pack In addition to the 4 wallpapers skins unlocked by default, you can purchase the Wallpaper Starter Pack which features 22 extra wallpaper skins for styling your base. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_starterpack_collection.jpg Skins included in the wallpaper starter pack, as pictured above: Clouds Yellow Stripe Blue Diamond Fleur (3 variants) Retro (3 variants) Subway (2 variants) Geometric (2 variants) Polka Dots (3 variants) Wainscotting (3 variants) Venetian Plaster (3 variants) https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_subway_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_gallery_11.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_gallery_02.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240903/rust_wallpaper_gallery_06.jpg The Wallpaper Starter Pack is available for purchase in-game or through the Steam's item store.

You can deploy it anywhere from your base to inside monuments. Use it strategically to cover access points and defend your positions. REPLICATED BUSH SOUNDS This month, we are changing how the classic bush rustle sounds work. Bush sounds will now be audible to players around you. Just like with footsteps, you now need to take care of when you make noise in bushes. Going slower through a bush makes a quieter sound than when running through it. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240731/bush_sounds_01.jpg This change will also cause the rustles made in hot air balloon tarps to be audible to players nearby, and operates in the same way as the bushes. UNDERWATER ITEMS https://files.facepunch.com/Errn/1b3011b1/chrome_6klbgq2xDw.png Dropped items that end up in bodies of water will now sink more realistically instead of just dropping like they are still falling through air. As well as slowing down and getting shifted around by currents they will also emit some bubbles as they move and when they hit the ocean floor. This should make finding these items a little bit easier. ZIPLINE IMPROVEMENTS We’ve made several changes to the powerline zipline system this month to make it a bit more pleasant to use. Ziplines will now pick the furthest possible destination instead of the closest We’ve increased the maximum length a zipline can run from 150m to 185m Ziplines can now terminate at a higher point on the powerline structure and will pick these higher destinations when possible, reducing the amount of climbing required to continue the zipline. You can no longer get dismounted by trees when on a zipline. We already had several systems in place to prevent trees spawning in zipline paths, but it still happened very rarely. These changes should result in longer, higher ziplines that are safer to use. NPC VENDOR PRICE CHANGES After looking over the data from last months wipe, it was clear that the dynamic vendor pricing system wasn’t operating as well as it could have. It tended to drop to 50% off all items relatively quickly in the wipe. We’ve made a couple of changes this month: Price changes now operate in real time rather than based on in-game time. This should be more understandable and will work correctly on servers that manipulate in-game time. Price changes now take place every 5 real time hours. Last month the prices changed every 15 minutes in real time by default, so this will make the prices change much more slowly. As usual we’ll keep an eye on this and make changes going forwards.

Facepunch officially turned 15 not too long ago and we wanted to celebrate the occasion by making all of our games 50% off - including Rust and all Rust DLCs! You can get your discounts on all Facepunch games through the Steam store. Rewind to 2009, when Garry, released Garry's Mod: a sandbox game with no rules, from a mod, to officially listing it on Steam. No objectives, just pure, unadulterated freedom. Want to create a giant robot out of bathtubs? Go for it. Fancy launching a thousand explosive barrels into the sky? Why not! Garry's Mod was, and still is, the ultimate playground for gamers with a wild imagination. Fast forward to 2013, and we began work on Rust. This isn’t just any survival game; it’s a brutal, post-apocalyptic showdown where you start with nothing but a rock and a dream. Gathering resources, building shelters, forging alliances—or betraying them—Rust has taken survival gaming to a whole new level. It's a place where the only rule is: trust no one, but have fun trying. And now, in 2024, we're working on our biggest update for Rust yet, with more Twitch events planned, and even more cool things to come to the game for all types of players. There has never been a better time to play Rust. LOOTROOM 3D PRINTS https://files.facepunch.com/ashcook/1b1511b1/rust_x_lootroom_announcement-compressed.jpg It's Official - You Can Now Get Licensed 3D Printed Rust Items! After years of watching from the side lines, we're proud to officially announce that we've partnered with Lootroom! Lootroom are now our partner for fully licensed 3D printed guns and more. So we're now working closer with them, providing this lovely and dedicated team with in-game assets to ensure that they continue to deliver high quality products to Rust fans. Here's Lootroom's story: "It's mid-2018 and during an exciting Rust weekend with good friends, we kept joking about the fact that furnaces in Rust always have to be running. This gave rise to the desire to have a small real Rust furnace on the desk - as a reminder of this great wipe. It didn't take long and it became clear: a 3D printer was needed! The test phase went well and we were so impressed with the result that we published the furnace on various platforms and received a lot of positive feedback. When the first purchase requests came in, we knew that the whole thing had potential and that there were many Rust enthusiasts around the world who shared our interest in IRL loot. After some preparation, a first small online store was created and the perfect name with the necessary domains was also found - Lootroom. Initially, our store only consisted of the furnace in various sizes, followed by the Eoka and the P2. But after countless requests, the Rust AK default was added in May 2020 after a slight delay due to Covid-19 - a real monster compared to the smaller products we had previously offe...Rust Early Access review: one year onJul 9, 2024 - PCGamesNRust - Facepunch Studios' multiplayer survival sandbox - has changed significantly in the year it's been on Steam Early Access. After several months of incredible sales and gradually increasing content, Facepunch did the unthinkable: they scrapped everything. Deciding the code base for Rust was unworkable, the studio rebuilt the entire game from scratch in a new engine. New Rust looks and feels both different and familiar: like returning to your dreary university city after it's had a multi-million government investment. I don't like it.

When you think of the PC games that have defined the last decade, Rust, originally designed by GMod and Half-Life community legend Garry Newman, doesn't normally spring to mind. At its conception, the enormous survival game served as an alternative to DayZ. Later, as developer Facepunch rebuilt and reshaped the idea, Rust started to have more in common with Stalker. Now, 11 years since its alpha release, it's something entirely of its own, a surreal, often slapstick world where everything can kill you. One of the most enduringly popular games of the last decade, Rust is currently enjoying a resurgence on Steam - and deservedly so. Read the rest of the story...

Ten years of players raiding each other, killing with abandon, and struggling to survive to the next day. There are few games so loathed and loved by its playerbase as this, with even the most effusive praise wrapped in warnings about how it'll bring misery too. Hopefully the world of Rust just got a little more pleasant in one way with new transport options that'll make your next journey into the wilderness a bit quicker. Read the rest of the story...

One is a single-person bike and one has a sidecar as well, where a second player can sit and use weapons. These are relatively fast and nimble vehicles, useful for quickly traversing the map using low grade fuel. If damaged, they can be repaired with a small amount of Metal Fragments. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240701/motorbike_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240703/motorbike_05.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240703/sidecar_01.jpg BICYCLES Bicycles can now be found across the map on roadsides, and also at several monuments. The standard bike takes one player, but a three-wheeled variant allows a second player to sit and shoot from the rear. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240701/bicyles_riding_01.jpg The bicycles aren't as fast or strong as the new motorbikes, but they're easier to acquire, and they don't use any fuel. Instead, they slowly consume your own food and water levels. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240701/trike_01.jpg Holding Sprint while biking will have the driver stand up and give you a bit more temporary power and speed. Sprint mode will also automatically engage if you're struggling up a hill. This feature wears out after a few seconds and needs time to recharge. HANDCUFFS AND PRISONER HOOD Take your enemies captive with the new Handcuff and Prisoner Hood items! https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240625/handcuffs_prisonerhood_01.jpg Use the Handcuffs on a surrendering (friendly gesture) or downed player to take them prisoner - restricting their inventory, belt, use and interact options. Handcuffed players can be pushed around and forced into vehicles and other mountables. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240702/handcuffs_firstperson_01.jpg Place the new Prisoner Hood on your victim to block their vision and disable their map access, preventing them from seeing where you are taking them. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240703/prisoner_cuffed_01.jpg Handcuffed players can hold their attack button to progress the unlock minigame. Fill the progress bar and the Handcuffs break, releasing you! Unlock progress is tied to the Handcuff item condition so that you can always eventually get free - but being damaged or pushed will temporarily interrupt your breakout attempt! Additionally, performing the friendly gesture - at any time - lets other players inspect your full inventory and modify your belt - a great way to show you're not a threat or hiding something valuable!

You can configure its range from 1 to 30 meters (one foundation = 3 meters) It will output a different power value depending on the type of explosion detected A non-exhaustive list of power values from explosives: 1 power = F1 Grenade, Beancan 2 power = Explosive ammo, Satchel 3 power = C4, Rocket The idea is to let you detect and trigger circuits when you're being raided. Alarms, traps... the possibilities are infinite, we're excited to see what you will come up with! BARRICADE PLACEMENT Traditionally, we blocked all forms of building inside Monuments. This made sense back in the day when Monuments were small in size and number, but over the years, the amount of land they take up has increased significantly. We want to reward players who pick a strategic location during a fight, but it's hard to pick a good location when you're in an empty field! This is why barricades can now be placed on the terrain around Monuments. This allows you to take cover as you enter and exit monuments, as well as take cover inside the open fields inside Monuments. Applies to: Wood barricade Stone barricade Concrete barricade Sandbags Remember: Monument Structures, Concrete, and Roads still block barricades at this time. Decay and melee protection has been adjusted to account for more relaxed placement 15 minute decay 8-10 hits with melee SEE DEPLOY GUIDE OF TEAMMATES Behold the ability to see what your teammate is placing and where it will be placed! This should clear up the exact location your teammate(s) are shouting while trying to build. By default, it only will show your teammate's deploy guides when you are building. This can be changed via the options menu to 'Always Show' or to be disabled. https://files.facepunch.com/jakerich/9akOLgQAp9isH5ko/bJ7gtouGI889dipM.png VISUAL FEEDBACK FOR BUILDING BLOCKED When allowing barricades to be placed into Monuments we realized... it's not that clear where the building blocked of Monuments actually starts!

This was supposed to discourage "running and gunning". The problem with this is that *any* kind of motion while in a firefight puts you at a disadvantage (minor dodging) and increases the amount of RNG experienced by the player. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20220601/pvp_raid_05.jpg What I've done is reduced this penalty to zero to start, and blend it up to the full amount after 4 rapid fire shots. This means is you can now strafe and dodge while tap firing and not experience a huge aiming penalty, however full auto will be penalized. I've also adjusted the Aimcone curve modifiers for a few weapons so that more shots have a higher probability of landing closer to the center. This has been applied to the Custom SMG, SAP and LR300. WEAPON + ATTACHMENT UPDATES Weapon mods have received some love this month. BURST MOD The duration between bursts while using the burst mod has been significantly reduced to 2x firerate instead of 3x firerate. HOLOSIGHT The holosight mesh has had its edges thinned so that less of your vision is obscured while using it. This is a stopgap until we produce a new model for it. I've also fixed the Holosight reticle being affected by motion blur. MUZZLE BRAKE & BOOST Both the muzzle brake and muzzle boost have had their negatives reduced, they now have less damage reduction and less damage falloff and should prove to be far more useful. LR300 TWEAKS In addition, I've made some changes to the recoil, damage fall off, bullet velocity, and burst mode of the LR300. This should now be the best in class AR. Everything subject to change. SAFEZONE RECYCLERS Starting today, Recyclers in safezones have been nerfed. Their cycle time has been increased to 8 seconds and they now yield 80% of what they used to. This is the price you now must pay for safety. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240502/rust_recyclers_safezone_01.jpg However, the recyclers found at monuments have the same cycle time as before but now yield 120%! This is to reward players taking the risk out in the open. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240502/rust_recyclers_radtown_01.jpg While I am aware that a great many keyboards may be smashed as the death screen fades in over the droning hum of the active recycler, I still have hope this helps usher in a new era of roaming and monument combat. SALE SALE SALE! Some great items were not used because they were way too expensive. To that end I've made the following changes: HV Ammo - Gunpowder cost reduced significantly, and the yield per craft increased to match non HV ammo. Torpedos - Craft yield increased from 3 to 5. Incendiary Rockets - The cost has been drastically reduced and their damage + flame spread increased. Drones - Tech trash is no longer a requirement for drones. HMLMG - Gear cost has been reduced.

These changes support the new Cargo Ship docking process, which allows the ship to adjust it's course and dock with the harbor. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240404/harbor_refresh_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240404/harbor_refresh_03.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240404/harbor_refresh_06.jpg Each harbor has a new island that can be reached by crossing a rotating bridge, floating containers or a daring set of jumps across cranes. This island becomes a stronghold once the Cargo Ship docks as it becomes sheltered from the rest of the harbor. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240404/harbor_refresh_08.jpg The ship will pick the first harbor it passes to dock and will only dock once. Once docked, the cranes in the Harbor will spring into life and move several containers from the docks onto the deck of the ship. These containers have openable doors and can be hidden in, so they present a new way to smuggle aboard the ship and another threat for players already on the ship to contend with. These containers will be deposited in locations that are generally above the deck, in some cases by several meters. This should present an interesting tactical situation when attacking the ship as well as defending it. We’ve also added two ship doors above the water line that allow access to the lower interior level of the ship and provide additional ways to board or traverse the monument while the ship is docked. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240404/harbor_refresh_10.jpg By default the Cargo Ship replenishes it's loot every 10 minutes - up to 3 times. When the ship docks at the harbor it will attempt to trigger one of those loot refreshes, although if all three have already happened it will be unable to spawn any more loot. The Cargo Ship horn will sound 60 seconds prior to it's departure - once you hear that horn it's time to get moving or you might end up back out at sea. We think these changes combined will lead to Cargo Ship being a much more contested PvP environment for groups of all sizes. We're also interested to see how a traditionally lower intensity monument like the Harbors adjust to periodic bouts of high intensity action. OILRIGS The Oilrigs receive an upgrade this month, with an underwater access. This new way to get onto the Oilrig will add a path into both structures Level 3 floors. This provides a different, and possibly safer way into the monument. It is also a way to counter the players on board by short circuiting the docks at the rigs water line. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240403/oilrig_tube_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240403/oilrig_tube_02.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240403/oilrig_tube_03.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240403/oilrig_tube_04.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240403/oilrig_tube_05.jpg https://files.facepunch.c...You can now play an acoustic guitar in RustMar 26, 2024 - PCGamesNRust's developers sneaked the game's first musical instrument into an update released over the Easter weekend.
