T1 HANDMADE SMG This month we're adding new weapons, firstly filling a gap in the weapon lineup, the Handmade SMG is unlockable near the end of the T1 tech tree. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241107/rust_t1smg_inspect_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241107/rust_t1smg_workbench_01.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20241107/rust_t1smg_workbench_02.jpg While it lacks accuracy and raw damage, it compensates for this with sheer volume, letting players unleash a hail of bullets. Skilled survivors can use it to stay competitive by timing their attacks and positioning themselves carefully, allowing for surprise bursts against better-equipped foes. SKS Unlockable at the start of the T3 tech tree, the SKS bridges the gap between the SAR and the M39. This mid-tier powerhouse combines punchy damage with accuracy, making it a reliable pick for players who want a no-nonsense rifle with solid range and stopping power. The SKS delivers balanced performance with a kick that seasone...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The yearly Halloween event is now enabled! https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20201023/halloween_ghostsheets.jpg Once roughly every two in-game days, the Candy Hunt event will begin. You'll have 3 minutes to collect as much candy as you can, then top 3 players are given special loot bags as a reward. These candies and loot bags can be opened for various types of loot, ranging from scrap, all the way up to an M249! If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The candies you collect can be upgraded for better loot! This year's Halloween event will run until November 7th. HERE BE MONSTERS Wondering what to do with all those body parts you've collected? Build your own monster! To start putting together your morbid creation, first, you must slay the scarecrows and mummies that roam the lands. Once you've collected a head, torso, and legs, craft yourself a Frankenstein's table and place the body parts within it. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20211026/monstertable_wakeup.jp...

THE WORLD UPDATE 2.0

RADTOWN One of the emblematic locations from legacy Rust makes a comeback: Radtown. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240928/rust_worldUpdate_radtown_35.jpg We turned this monument from a bunch of blocky garage buildings, into a refreshed new gameplay space. 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.

DIGITAL 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,...

STAY ALERT

TIN CAN ALARM This month, we're adding the Tin Can Alarm, a new primitive trap made from hanging tin cans. https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240729/tincan_alarm_02_1080p.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240729/tincan_alarm_06_1080p.jpg Crossing its wire will trigger the trap and cause a loud clatter, alerting anyone nearby to your presence. 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 ...

FACEPUNCH'S 15TH BIRTHDAY! https://files.facepunch.com/ashcook/1b1211b1/fp_15%20-%2050OFF%20-16x9.png Happy Birthday to us! 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 t...

Rust Early Access review: one year on

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Rust - 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.

The gigantic, classic survival game Rust is flying on Steam right now

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's strange. 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...

Multiplayer survival game Rust continues to get bigger and deadlier with each passing patch. This month's update, called Road Renegades, adds new vehicles like motorbikes and bicycles, a traveling vendor in an armored truck, and….. Read more.

Getting around Rust just got a whole lot easier with this new update

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's been ten years since Rust first appeared on the scene as an early access title. 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...

ROAD RENEGADES

MOTORBIKES https://files.facepunch.com/paddy/20240703/motorbike_riding_01.jpg Motorbikes can now be found at several monument locations. 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....
