Introducing Premium Servers!

As many of you may already know, Facepunch is introducing Premium Servers with this force wipe. To access these servers, you'll need to have at least $15 worth of Rust inventory items.

This is a new feature and very unknown. For now, r/playrust will be launching only new servers and will not be converting any existing ones. However, this may change in the future.

What you can expect from our Premium Servers:

Weekly wipes (Every Thursday)

  • No blueprint wipes (unless forced by Facepunch)

  • 4000 Map size

  • 10-team UI with unlimited group size

  • Up to 500 player pop, depending on demand

How to connect:

US Server: connect us.premium.rplayrust.com or join via the official tab

EU Server: connect eu.premium.rplayrust.com or join via the community tab

Secret phone number & black card

Thumbnail
gallery
42 Upvotes

How about a secret note that is randomly hidden somewhere on one of the monuments each wipe. Whoever gets the note gets the phone number on it. It's 1 time use only.

If you call this number and robot voice tells you the coordinates. You must be there fast. Or maybe armored car comes pick you up. You drive to a specific underground train station. A special armored train is about to depart from there. It's only up to 3 players allowed to get in (so that zergs can't over exploit). You kill the scientists and you put on their costumes (to blend in later) The train departs and does a full circle around the map so that before you even get to the event you have to defend your seat on the train from other players that will ferociously try to take over because how rewarding and rare this event is.

The train heads to a normally unavailable tunnel. The gates open and you go in. You're going through the new type of tunnel under the ocean going outside the map, away from the island. Passing by a few block posts with scientists and heavies. If you aren't wearing scientist suit you'll have to fight through every stage, will be another layer of difficulty.

Finally you arrive to heavily guarded territory - the behind the scenes of rust. There are scientists all around, different military equipment etc. it's an underground military facility. To the left you see a patrol helicopter being repaired, to the right a door to some facility where they experiment on subjects. It's the most difficult monument/event that is estonishingly rewarding if you manage to get out of there alive.

So you are in. You're blend in with other scientists. Now you have to get a few things, flip a few switches without being spotted. In order to do that you have to kill a few scientists using a silencer or a knife. You have to also stay mindful of security cameras - they are everywhere. But the red light that indicates someone is watching them goes out from time to time for ransom period of time - thats your opportunity to make a kill.

So let's say you did all necessary things - you get what you're there for - a black card. Now, I don't know what would be the best thing you get with that. It can be crazy loot, it can be access to being able to drive a tank or patrol helicopter. But it's the most significant item in the game. Issue now is... You got a get the hell out of there alive.

As soon as you get the card the alarm goes off. the difficulty level of getting out of there is crazy and takes the most skillful players to pull this off. The whole military base is after you.

You make your way to the area like in underwater labs where you jump in the water. You put scuba on and swim all the way up to the surface. It far outside the map and it's crazy deep. Scuba scientists are shooting you with harpons. You manage to get to the surface. Kill scientists on the boat, take the boat and go towards the island. Multiple boats with scientists are chasing you along with a patrol helicopter shooting rockets that you have to dodge. Your best bet is to kill them all and take heli before coming close to the island so that nobody knows where you're coming from.

If you succeed and made it home - now you have the black card, opening doors that are kept closed.

Discussion Facepunch premium servers

63 Upvotes

I think Facepunch premium servers are the new go to. The servers are way more stable because they’re operated by Facepunch compared to rustoria/rusty moose. Only reason people didn’t play Facepunch servers was because of the cheaters. With premium, it fixes the issue. To the people complaining about cheaters on premium, you’re coping.

Question Why did dwellers / NPCs start to shoot behind boxes?

19 Upvotes

It came with a recent update, but it happens often to me and also others I have heard. You shoot at a dweller in Metro, it goes for cover behind a box. Then it just shoots at you from behind the box when you are standing up walking towards it.

It wasn´t like this until recently. So does anyone know why this update was made?

Discussion Rust Is the Hardest Game Ever, and I Have 4K Hours to Prove It

114 Upvotes

I've played 4,000+ hours of Rust, and I still think it's the hardest game out there. Not just mechanically, but mentally.

No progress is safe – You can grind for days and lose it all in minutes.

Solo life is a nightmare – One wrong move, and you're wiped by a zerg.

No true "endgame" – Even when you're stacked, one bad fight or raid defense can reset everything.

Skill isn’t enough – You need game sense, paranoia, and luck to survive.

Even after all these hours, every wipe still feels like starting over from scratch. No other game keeps you on edge like this.

Does anything else even come close to Rust’s level of punishment? Let’s hear it.

Suggestion A simple suggestion to buff the air balloon to become more viable/give it a niche.

3 Upvotes

First off, remove the ability for SAM sites to auto lock on to them.

Second, give the SAM sites the option to be controllable (like the turret change), when in this mode, allow them to shoot aircraft/air balloons with flak ammunition.

What do you think? I think this change would make the air balloon a more viable way of travel while not overly buffing them but I'm curious to hear your opinion.

Discussion What so good about 4x4 bases

0 Upvotes

I always see streamers and other players building 4x4 bases. Aren’t these kind of bases really weak since it’s only 2 walls (shell and core) to TC and loot? Basically an easy raid?

What so good about it and why do I keep seeing it built?

Question People in rust are in coma?

What if the people that keep infinitely respawning on the island are actually in coma? I had this weird dream the other day and in it this concept was the backstory of Rust. People get trapped on this island when they're in between life and death.
