Rust system requirementsJul 14, 2025 - PCGamesNThe Rust system requirements aren't particularly stressful, unlike its PVP aspect, but they're certainly quite high for a game that was originally released in 2018. That said, Rust has received innumerable updates since its original launch, which has subsequently and slowly raised the hardware demands. As of the latest update, Rust doesn't call for anything high-tier from our buying guides, such as our best graphics card guide, but you will need an unusual amount of RAM to meet the minimum requirements. You'll also want a decent internet connection if you want to dive into Rust, as latency can be a real progress-killer if you're lagging during a raid. Read the rest of the story...

The headline update is a party system allowing players to join servers as a group. This makes playing with your friends slightly easier, not only from an organisational perspective, but also because it spawns you into a map together, meaning you don't have to track each other down and risk being killed in the process...

We're a couple of months on from the introduction of the jungle biome to the tremendously popular survival game, which remains the top dog on Steam over a decade after it first helped to define the genre, and developer Facepunch is looking as strong as ever. The new Rust update today includes a wealth of very welcome improvements, including a party system, a deployable snapping tool to make building much easier, and Outpost spawning.

This will cause all party members to connect to the same server.There is also an in-game advantage to joining a server as a party. When you first spawn on the server your party members will spawn nearby each other and automatically be put on the same team. Future respawns will remain random scattered on the beach.OUTPOST SPAWNINGAfter several years of waving a radiation detector around, we’ve finally given CZ-721 in the Outpost something to do. He now offer players a mission to travel to a Fishing Village and back to unlock a new, permanent spawn point in Outpost. This new spawn point has a 30 minute cooldown and won’t count towards your bag limit. This mission is available in both Vanilla and Primitive modes, but is disabled in Softcore (as there is already a permanently available spawn point in that mode).Along with this new mission we’re also shipping a bunch of under the hood improvements to the mission system. This has been a longer term project over the last few months as we all want to make more missions and flesh this system out but the process to create new missions internally is quite cumbersome and error prone. Prior to these upgrades, creating a new mission involved a long process of manually setting up conversation nodes, filling in translation fields and lots of manual data entry. We’ve automated as much of this as possible, allowing us to iterate and create more missions faster. We’re not quite there yet but we’ve got more missions planned this year that will allow us to push these tools further. In terms of player facing upgrades, we’ve improved the conversation screen so that it doesn’t bounce around as the text is animating in, added a Mission Complete panel to communicate when a player has finished a mission and applied a lot of performance improvements as the conversation screen was quite heavy.TEAM INVITE CHANGESWe’ve made several improvements to the invite process this month in order to make it easier to find and play with your friends. You’ll find a new Invite button in the bottom left Team UI that allows you to add friends to your team even if they aren’t on the current server or online. You can also now send team invites via the chat panel by right clicking a players name in the chat.NOTABLE CHANGESPeacekeeper Mode Now display a holster warning to offending players (like the old safe zones)Headshot SoundsAdded dedicated UI sounds slider (affects headshot sounds)Surrendering HolsteredWeapons are now holstered when surrendering, no longer hiddenOptimized TurretsOptimized Tur...Rust's recently added rainforest is so dense the developers changed how resources spawn because players couldn't find them: 'The jungle was a bit too good at being a jungle'Jun 8, 2025 - PC Gamertavistic survival sim Rust recently added a whole new area to get brutally murdered in while running around naked—a rainforest. Not only is this Rust's snazziest biome, it's also by far the busiest from an environmental perspective, far thicker in vegetation than the game's other areas, as you would expect from a jungle. This makes it a uniquely hazardous playspace, offering ambush opportunities aplenty for both players and prowling animals like crocodiles and tigers...

While there's nothing so dramatic as last month's introduction of a whole new biome, developer Facepunch isn't resting on its laurels. Indeed, jungle changes are at the top of a long list of alterations, buffs, nerfs, and other balance tweaks. Among the other inclusions are the long-rumored silencer rework, a crucial lighting adjustment, some very helpful wire laying and cosmetic base-building additions, and a fantastic tool for creative mode players, so let's dig through the details.

The jungle was a bit too good at being a jungle.Wild hemp has been reworked with taller stalks and purple flowers, so you can actually see it against the overgrowth. (Player-grown hemp remains unchanged.)More ore nodes now spawn throughout the jungle thanks to increased rock formation density and a general boost to ore availability.Berry bushes have their own dedicated Jungle population to help keep food distribution more even across the map.Cars and bikes now spawn along jungle road sides, you’ll no longer feel stranded in the canopy.Players no longer spawn directly in the jungle biome. It’ll still generate near spawn areas, but you won’t be dropped in the middle of the Jungle unless you choose to live there.Additionally, we've added several new trees that did not quite make it into the initial release.We’ve also made a pass on monument distribution. This has been a long-standing issue, and it worsened with last month's Jungle update. Good news, it's fixed! overall, you can now expect a healthy increase in the number of monuments per map.Some key highlights in testing a world side of 4500: Airfield +37% Trainyard +34% Excavator +45% Military Tunnels +28% Powerplant +17% Water Treatment +16% Sewer Branch +14%Overall, we hope all these changes bring Jungle into a balanced position.INCAPACITATE DARTI've made some changes to make this dart less OP, but still useful. There's now a blur and dim effect instead of the full screen blackout, and the fade speed has been decreased.The movement speed reduction duration has also been decreased from 6 to 4 seconds, to match the blur duration.IMPROVED INDOOR LIGHTINGWe have worked for the past couple of months on lighting improvements for the game interiors. Simply put, in the past our lighting model would darken the entire world if you were located indoors. This caused disadvantage for players looking out and advantage for players looking in as the interiors were fully lit from outside.Thanks to the efforts of the team we now have a spatially aware solution to this problem that also brings some benefits such as soft physical transitions in and out of interiors.We are still improving this new system and while this goes on, some trickier interior spaces such as large pipes and complex cylindrical buildings remain on the old system temporarily.SILENCER CHANGESWe’re making several changes to the silencer system this month, introducing two new silencer types and making the existing silencer non-craftable (now renamed to Military Silencer).The Soda Can Silencer is the cheapest to make (40 metal fragments, Workbench 1) and will last around 12 shots on an Assault Rifle firing standard rounds. It also mildly decreases shot damage and velocity.The Oil Filter Silencer is a bit more expensive (10 HQM, Workbench 2) and will last for around 48 shots on an Assault Rifle firing standard rounds.Both new si...COMMUNITY UPDATE 265May 29, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsFANCYORB'S GLOBAL WARFARE As some of you may know, these masterpieces take some time.

The terrain in this biome is flatter than other biomes, has a higher river density and thicker foliage. The jungle biome features a large variety of completely new foliage. This includes new types of bushes, such as bromeliads and monstera. New undergrowth plants like arrowroot and calathea. As well as variety of new trees like trumpet trees, jungle palms and sandbox trees. The biggest of them all are enormous kapok trees that you will be able to climb and swing from. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/0x42/jungleUpdate_biome_18.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/5W47/jungleUpdate_biome_05.jpg The jungle is much denser than what you may be used to, so be aware that dangers and predators may lurk in every corner. Or use it to your advantage and hunt your prey instead. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/9F06/jungleUpdate_biome_03.jpg The jungle biome is vast, but allows for full base building like all other biomes. Take a step inside and embrace your inner Tarzan. VINE SWINGING While exploring the Jungle biome you will encounter a new type of tree covered in vines, you can climb these trees to reach branches that provide a new vantage point. There are also interactive vines on a lot of these branches that allow you to swing from one branch to another, allowing you to traverse significant distances in the jungle without having to touch the ground. https://files.facepunch.com/jarryd/1b2211b1/jungleupdate_vineswing_01.jpg Unlike our other form of aerial transportation (ziplines) vines move from one location to another, so if you are travelling as a team you will need to throw the vine back to your friends after using them so they can follow you. You can also use a vine to quickly, safely and quietly descend to the jungle floor. https://files.facepunch.com/jarryd/1b2211b1/jungleupdate_vineswing_02.jpg Just like other trees these vines can be knocked down for wood, however they will create an invulnerable stump in their place and the tree will respawn after a while. JUNGLE REMNANTS Among the towering trees and thick undergrowth, you’ll stumble across small jungle monuments, each holding a glimpse into a forgotten past. These include the Jungle Ziggurat, a weathered stone structure with its own mysteries, and a scattering of ancient jungle ruins left behind by a long-lost civilization. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/6p53/jungleupdate_ziggurat_37.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/4k95/jungleupdate_ziggurat_41.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/7W93/jungleupdate_ziggurat_03.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/128/04/2025/1C73/jungleupdate_ziggurat_20.j...The Rust Jungle update has a date, and you can test it right nowApr 11, 2025 - PCGamesNIt might be one of the pioneers of the survival game boom, but Rust isn't resting on its laurels.

When destroyed, these objects will drop 50% of their contents, the other 50% will be stored inside and accessible only by the player owners. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/102/04/2025/1B08/softcore_deployablecorpses_01.jpg If the deployable is destroyed due to losing its ground, it will fall to the nearest position and won't be repairable on the spot.

Whilst this feature is only applied to the softcore game mode, it's a bit of an experiment, and we may bring it over to the vanilla game in future. RESPAWN CHANGES The Reclaim Terminal at Outpost has been removed, and we don’t think you’ll miss it. In Softcore, if you die outside of a building privilege radius, you’ll now respawn with 50% of your inventory automatically. No more sprinting to Outpost, hoping your stuff didn’t get looted, and waiting around to reclaim your bits and pieces. The system is now faster, cleaner, and more forgiving. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/102/04/2025/7S61/softcoreupdate_respawnchanges_04.jpg We’ve also improved how that 50% is calculated. Previously, it would just grab half of your item stacks, meaning you could end up keeping full stacks of low-value junk while losing all your meds or ammo. Now, it does what you'd expect: you keep 50% of your total count for stackables, which makes the whole thing a lot fairer and more predictable. This change should help reduce the friction after dying in the field while keeping the Softcore experience accessible for players who are still learning the ropes—or just trying to get back on their feet. UPKEEP TAX CHANGES Softcore mode has higher upkeep rates for doors to discourage massive sprawling bases and encourage more raiding. Building blocks are unchanged. https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/102/04/2025/8Z54/softcoreUpdate_upkeeptax_05.jpg The difference is pretty significant: the average large base will now see door upkeep around 90%, compared to 30% in vanilla.

To access Premium Servers, your Rust Steam inventory must be valued at $15 or more. This includes items from the Permanent Item Store, such as building skins, décor packs, and hazmat skins, as well as any other tradable Rust items with an attached value. Currently we do not include Rust's standalone DLC such as Instruments, Sunburn and Voice Props packs (this may change in future). https://files.facepunch.com/Alistair/105/03/2025/4y97/RustClient_FZFr8oSdQm.jpg We initially communicated a $20 threshold, but after analysing data from millions of accounts, we've settled on $15 as a more effective starting point. This is based on a comparison of banned accounts versus regular players, aiming to strike a balance between accessibility and cheat deterrence, although opting on the lower end. Premium Servers will only be visible if your account meets the $15 threshold. Premium Servers will show a Premium (and clickable) Tag to provide details about eligibility. This won’t stop every cheat user, but it’s an extra layer of friction against disposable cheat accounts. Server owners can opt-in by enabling the following convar: "server.premium 1" The $15 threshold may change over time, and we may introduce additional factors to refine premium status. Depending on Steam traffic, brand new purchases may take up to 20 minutes to reflect onto the Premium Server authorization. You can manually refresh or check your premium status by going to the server listings, clicking the premium server tag and clicking the refresh icon. If you have premium status, it'll display on your avatar on the menu menu If we encounter any abuse or exploitation of Premium servers or the market, user accounts will be banned. All trades of Rust skins are logged. SERVERS There are currently several new freshly wiped official premium servers going live today at 19:00 UTC. To connect to these servers, you'll find them in the official server list or connect directly from the mainmenu, open the console by pressing F1 and typing "connect" followed by the IP or endpoint.
