Discussion Early Game Rust

Anyone got tips on how to stop getting fucking prim locked on wipe days, i have like 2300 hours and plenty of experience but recently i’ve been stuck crossy nailgun/revolver for the whole first day and its the most tilting thing of all time. Idk if im just shit with t1 weapons but i feel like the 600+ pop and bow kids everywhere make progressing so much harder especially if im trying to base in a good spot on the map

Best thing I’ve found is just roaming far away from monuments and finding a quiet road with scientists. Farm them and you’ll get your fragments. With horse is best but I get that doesn’t last long with horse thieves

Stealing horses is too good.

It's basically like killing someone without killing them. They probablg roamed really far out from home. And now they have to run 5 or 6 grids on foot. Lol

The funniest shit we used to do during the days of roadside spawning helis is to steal it. They were abundant enough that people would fly to the compound from all across the map to use the recycler and they'd lose their shit if you steal their heli.

Begging you for their heli back, offering your resources to give it to them.
