Rust

Rust: Open-World Survival & Base Warfare Game

Rust is a brutal online survival game that blends action, adventure, indie, MMO, and RPG elements, developed and published by Facepunch Studios. The PC version launched on February 8, 2018. In the world of Rust, survival is your only goal; almost everything wants you dead: wild animals, the environment, and other players roaming the island.

Game Features

• Monthly Updates: Rust is now in its 11th year of development, with over 385 content updates released so far, and the team continues to push out new patches every month.
• Explore and Survive: You'll face the harsh realities of the wild: scorching heat, freezing cold, thirst, and hunger. Build shelters, scavenge materials, eat to stay alive (or risk becoming someone else's dinner), and take on the unpredictable dangers of the island.
• Base Building: Design and build bases to store your loot, defend your territory, and control crucial resources. Research the tech tree, grow farms, manage power systems, and even commandeer vehicles to traverse the world. Do whatever it takes to stay ahead of the competition.
• Fight to Stay Alive: There are no rules in Rust; you make your own. Craft tools, armor, and weapons to protect yourself. Team up with friends, form alliances, and build settlements together. Explore the island, engage with other players, trade, or raid their bases and steal their hard-earned gear. It's survival by any means necessary.
