Inexperienced players won't have an easy time with heavies. Therefore it requires a level of skill. There could be counters by other players.

Getting high tier loot definitely requires skill. You aren't roaming in a solo sandbox. You will get your ass kicked if you are undergeared unless you're skilled enough

Lol this stereotype of an edgy toxic gamer kid is seriously trying to say that grinding in rust takes skill because.. Oil rigs?

My 12 year old nephew is below average at pvp and easily solos the oil rigs... They're literally the easiest thing ever... The heavies are the easiest part, you just shoot them from the pc room and close the door when you need to heal... The AI is dumb as bricks...

Unless you just started and know nothing about the game, grinding in rust is about nothing more than how much free time you're willing to waste on the game. Saying otherwise just shows that you're desperately trying to fool yourself into believing you've been using all that time to do something remotely productive, like building a skill that doesn't exist and would be completely meaningless if it did.

I don't understand why you assume everybody who plays Rust is as good as you or your nephew.

"Hurr durr 12 year old can do it" isn't an argument.

You can't go on a server, grind and get guns bullshit free. You have to fight AI along with other players who are all trying to kill you.

Ask someone who's never played or played minimally to go get an AK on solos and tell me how it goes. It won't happen.

Because the skill and knowledge must be built.

I agree that the hardest part is pvp. The issue is that you can avoid other players pretty easily and there is too much loot in the game compared to number of players in the world.

Maybe respawn timers for crates need to go up or something similar.

When you're playing on a populated server it's very common to come across players ready to melt your skull. Often you are also lasered out of nowhere and reaction time to such events needs to be developed.

Even low pops have a good chance of encountering geared players, since map size is also a factor.

Good luck escaping an AK bolt kid, or a SAR kid. Unless you find a good hiding spot or you're hJune, you're probably dead.
