The July update for Rust, 'Common Ground' is finally here, bringing with it a set of patch notes and a huge amount of new features. Now, Facepunch is looking to its Monuments, adding two brand new ones: The Apartment Complex, which lets you…
APARTMENT COMPLEXThe apartment complex is a new monument that allows players getting started with a wipe to find a place to call home. Simply talk to the receptionist in the lobby to get started and rent a room.There are options for every b…
The Rust 'Built Different' update has just landed, bringing with it the most substantial upgrade to its player models in years. Sporting fresh animations to boot, characters are far more realistic, though I always found their kinetic jank t…
It's time to say hello to your new face! This would be a creepy as all hell a sentence in just about any other context (perhaps it still is), but I am not a plastic surgeon, I am a person that writes about video games and the things they do…
Rust's character customization options have always been a bit unusual in that… well, you don't get any. Your character's looks are generated by a random seed and you don't have any say over them. Whatever you get, you get, from face to race…
PLAYER UPDATENew Player ModelWe’ve overhauled the player model from the ground up.This includes improved meshes and materials, more realistic proportions on a new rig, expanded head and hair seeds and a much needed pass over almost everythi…
Facepunch Studios may have only just released S&box, but the launch of its spiritual successor to Garry's Mod has done nothing to slow down its monthly Rust update. It is as predictable as the tide, or having your base raided by your half-n…
The May Rust update is here, delivering on developer Facepunch's promise of mortars to put rooftop campers in their place. There's far more on offer here, with nine rare workbench upgrades headlining the new Rust patch notes. Steam's most b…

Occasionally, raiding a base in Rust can be more trouble than it's worth, especially if the owner of said base is stubborn and doesn't want all of their stuff stolen. Selfish really. Some players tend to take to the roof of their structure,…
If you play Rust then the mere sight of the words "horse shield" probably have you gnashing your teeth and cursing the cheap no-gooders who rely on it. The whole thing is very simple. Ride a horse, equip a shield, and players on-foot have a…

The Rust April update is here, and after a couple of months spent deploying and refining its massive Naval overhaul, Facepunch Studios is getting back to something a little simpler. Don't let that fool you, however, because the 'Spring Clea…
Not content with adding one kind of sea power to Rust in February's Naval Update, Facepunch studios has introduced a whole other way to exploit the oceans in its latest patch for the survival game. The Spring Clean update adds a bunch of sm…
NEW ITEM: ARMOURED LADDER HATCHThe Armoured Ladder Hatch is a new top-tier construction. A direct upgrade from the Metal Ladder Hatch, the Armoured Ladder Hatch is built for players who want maximum durability on their vertical access point…
I'm long past the point of being incredulous about what games get movie spin-offs. When Hasbro's classic Battleship boardgame got a sci-fi adaptation with Rihanna and Liam Neeson back in 2012, it became clear that nothing was off the table.…

EXTENDED DAYTIMEThis month we've extended the amount of time each day has sunlight by around 20 minutes. The duration of night is unchanged (around 10 minutes). This should hopefully allow for more time for daylight activities while still k…
The worst part about getting matched up against a cheater in any game is knowing there's not much you can do. You can send in a report, you can wait for some automatic trigger to ban them, you can curse the gods in a faith tradition of your…
It can be tough getting on with your neighbours. Sometimes you want to say things to them, like "Don't let your adult children play bassy music until 2AM", or "Don't leave your dog alone at home all day so he spends the whole. Time. Barking…
We've been able to swim around just off the coast of Rust's murder island for years now, but I'm absolutely terrified of the sharks most players seem to shrug off, so I keep myself parked on land watching from a safe distance. After today's…
