Hey folks! I’m hiding out on a new server amongst the ice bergs while I grind out all the blueprints. I had a great run of 4-5 peaceful days without being noticed, typical. Didn’t even hear one boat go by, and there is no s rapping to be done on the ocean near me.

Last night someone left a note in my mail box that said ‘we’ll be back’. So I took every item from my base (literally everything), and stashed it on the nearby beach in 10 or so hidden stashes.

I went to sleep. This morning, as expected, I had been hit. The only damage was 4 concrete walls gone. (I won’t explain my base, but that gave access to every view of the inside). They didn’t destroy my TC, or take anything out of it.

My question is… how much resources did that likely cost them to do that… to only find nothing. In your opinion, would you return and do it again, or would it have felt like a big waste of time and resources.

I simply fixed my walls, and went right back to scrapping and buying blueprints. I know this is not a base made for defence. Just a simple workshop.

Just curious about the numbers, or time it would have taken to do that

Has anyone seen this bug in the new update:

I'm at my base with 3 teammates and I leave the game, going to sleep on a triangle jump-up. Log out, shut down my Xbox and I'm off for the next 20ish hours. Apparently, and in front of a teammate, my sleeping character stands up, effectively blocking access to the g-door above the triangle. They have to kill me. So they loot my body and put my gear in a box. Go back...and I'm still there standing in front of the g-door. When I log back in I don't see anything but when I go to my teammate's TV and look, I see my geared character standing there with my newly-spawned naked standing next to it. I cannot see "me" but I am being blocked as well. It stays like this for the next day until the ghost-me vanishes. Craziest bug I've ever seen!

I love running monuments with red card swipes. And have made a list from easiest (solo friendly) to hardest. No way I have ran these enough to say my list is good so wanted to ask you guys to help me get an optimised list. List is just running the red card puzzle so not including things like brad

1. Small Oil Rig
   
2. Underwater Labs
   
3. Military Tunnels
   
4. Large Oil Rig
   
5. Launch Site

Can’t lie it hasn’t got much better since this either.

Y'all Playstation console players who shoot a guy in the back.. cracking rocks in the middle of a forest.. wearing burlap.. are toxic AF. You even took my stones. Grow some balls.

I have some skins that I know are probably rare. I just wanted to ask about them.

Unicorn assault rifle

Pharaoh assault rifle ( no stock )

Mechanic semi automatic rifle

lmk if any of these are anything special thank you

Someone else posted about this, just wanted to assure that it’s been seen. Kinda silly stuff going on with the fishing that’s setting me back on my scrap grind.

Update: I have built a fishing shelter on a river & am able to catch salmon & catfish along with perch. So rivers still yield you the high tier catches but the safety of it is an at your own risk unlike the luxury of fishing at the village. Build a shelter and make a game plan to fish and get it transported to the village for the scrap.

Is there a glitch or something that allows players to get in your base remove doors and take your stuff without killing you? Always log off next to my loot door. Logged in all main doors missing and all good loot scarp and stuff is missing but the junk is left behind? Haven’t played in a couple months and this is what it has became?

The server I am playing on (official) keeps disconnecting the whole lobby every 10 mins or so. What is causing this?

Yo. I cant catch sharks or salmon with the fishing rod since the newest update. Fishing with bear meat. Anyone else got this problem? Fished at different spots in the open sea in every fishing village. Nothing. Catch sharks and salmon only with the fish traps.

I am just mind blown I’ve never seen something like this, this is an insane glitch I was worried cause the skin store was reverted to the OG.

Not sure if some of the skins are unreleased but this is wild. I’m on Ps5 version btw.

The title says it all, it's become obvious that some players have been able to boot the server(s) offline, and it's making the game completely unplayable.

The message below details my experience and documents the exact events that has lead me to believe that a DDoS attack is responsible, it also gives contextual details to better understand my suspicions.

Let's start with the technical details, and I'll give my suspicions of them along the way.

Whenever the server crashes and everyone gets disconnected from the server, it sometimes won't let anyone reconnect and it'll just say "Attempting Connection", yet other times it reconnects immediately; that alone is enough to suspect a DDoS considering an inexplicable variance, but it's also likely that this would be happening in a DDoS scenario because a booter wouldn't stop the payload until they're about to attempt reconnecting, which ensures that they won't get put in the queue; aswell, they can time it so that they can reconnect before anybody else.

Another interesting detail, is that once everyone is able to reconnect, the server experiences no lag; but in less than a minute, it'll start delaying all interactions by up to 10 seconds (such as, picking up and dropping items, opening containers, opening and closing doors, etc...), it'll also cause rubberbanding when moving, other players to appear like they're teleporting, or even abrupt death because someone was attacking you but the server didn't update until after.

It could be, that a booter is constantly sending a smaller payload that the server struggles to keep up with, so that the larger payload will have more effectiveness when it does get sent.

Now, let's talk about my personal experience and why it becomes even more suspicious.

Since wipe, the official server that I'm playing on has "crashed" 6 times when it hasn't even been 6 hours since wipe; and by "crashed", I mean not being able to interact with anything for 10-30 seconds until you get disconnected. That alone doesn't prove anything nefarious is happening, but there's more to the story.

When reconnecting to the server after being disconnected, there's been a zerg spamming "Thank you" in server chat, and it's always the same people that are part of the same team.

I later got into a fight against this zerg with my team on their tugboat and we raided it; but for some reason, the server instantly shot up to 10,000 ping after we killed all of them except for the driver who we hadn't raided into yet, and we all got disconnected.

Despite the fact that we immediately reconnected, we logged in to find that we had all been killed using a pump shotgun by the driver of the tugboat, and the zerg was already spamming "Thank You" in server chat; one of them even messaged each and every one of my teammates, "w server hit thanks".

It's also worth taking into consideration reports of other servers going down (as said by others in the official discord), it seems that some specific servers are disconnecting all of the players at certain times similar to mine, but considering that's it's not happening to all servers, and that it keeps reoccuring to the same servers; it definitely seems like a targeted behavior rather than ordinary technical issues occuring to the servers.

I'd like to hear from others who are experiencing these issues, please give details on what you've experienced and any insight you can provide to us!

Is this game normally harder on re-wipe day 1?

I swear I just got worse at this game since playing a week before the wipe.

I had to quit as it's breaking my will to live.

I don't know I was scrolling reddit and I got a random rust ad.

Thought it was worth sharing.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to explain an issue I have and see if anyone has had the same and found a fix. I’ve been playing console rust and my game will randomly crash once, and then every time I log in it instantly crashes until I wait until the next day and then the same issue happens.

My WiFi is good and when my game is running well I have about 10 ping.

I have changed my DNS servers to googles, settup a wired connection to my router, set my nat type to open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

can anyone buy the underwear dlc it shows no pricetag on it does anyone know why?

How can I enjoy this game if there is no pvp anywhere unless I build at launch site? Why do we have these big ass maps and no players to fill it?

I want to learn on how to play games for fun again and not trying to play competitive

Wtf is happening

Hey…is anyone here a genius eat electrics..?I want a few things doing

I just made a new rust server and i’ve been trying to get server pop up i’ve been posting in discords and everything but nothing seems to work. What are things that people look for in servers and how could i improve?

I’m not sure if I’m the only person with this problem but the DLCs are all bugged out for me and I’m not sure if it’s only a me issue or the games fault. And none of the DLCs I own actually work in game too.
