RUST - A BRUTAL SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE WHERE OTHER PLAYERS ARE THE GREATEST THREAT
Rust is one of the most intense and unforgiving multiplayer survival games available today.

In Rust, the environment is dangerous-but other players are the real enemy.

CORE SURVIVAL GAMEPLAY
Starting with nothing: Every player begins their journey almost completely naked, armed with only a rock and a torch. From the very first moment, survival becomes the main objective-finding food, tools, and shelter before others find you.
Resource gathering and crafting
Players have to collect materials such as wood, stone, and metal to:
- Craft tools and weapons
- Create armor and survival gear
- Unlock blueprints for advanced items
- Progress from primitive weapons to firearms
- Progress depends heavily on smart resource management and exploration.
Base building and defense
Building a secure base is essential for protecting loot and resources. Players design their own structures using walls, doors, locks, and traps. A poorly defended base can be raided and wiped out in minutes.
PvP - The Heart of Rust
Player-versus-player combat defines the Rust experience.
- Anyone can attack, steal, or raid at any time
- Alliances are optional and trust is fragile
- Base raiding is a core gameplay mechanic
Every encounter is unpredictable. Cooperation and betrayal often happen side by side, making each session feel tense and unique.
