Rust is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.Rust has three different editions on consoles. Rust can be a frustrating game, but that’s just part of the experience. After all, everything in Rust is temporary, and you’ll get a shot against everyone else with a clean slate when the server wipes.
Log back in, salvage what you can, and start building things again.
This is all just a part of the game though, so don’t get discouraged and log off if you find out you’ve been offline raided by a gang of raiders who apparently don’t go to school or have jobs.
All of it is inevitable, especially if you’re a solo player. You’re going to die, you’re going to lose all your stuff, you’re going to get raided, and you’re going to lose your base. This goes without saying, but Rust is an unforgiving game. Use stealth to your advantage and third-party other people whenever you can. You’re not going to win a 3v1 with a bow, but if you can catch some players off guard when you have a gun, you can wipe them out. Also, don’t engage anyone until you have a strong, secure base and decent weapons. Leave the big gangs alone, take advantage of anyone you can, and try to stay out of sight. If you see another solo player enter their base, door camp them for easy loot. Wait for two groups to fight each other, and then swoop in to finish off the survivors while they’re looting. Don’t pick a fight unless you’re 100% sure you can get out alive. If you want to survive on your own, you have to fight dirty. Battling other players and raiding bases is half the fun in Rust, but you’re a solo player.
A 1×2 with metal or armored walls won’t be worth the trouble to most raiders, so try to build a small base and upgrade it as fast as possible to secure your stuff.Ħ. Also, you can more easily upgrade a small base to allow for more protection from raiders. That doesn’t mean you won’t get raided if you have a small base, but some gangs of raiders will only focus on the big complexes because they tend to have more loot. It can be enticing to build a giant base with a sprawling design, but all this does is place a target on it for raiders. A simple 1×1 or 1×2 base can house everything you need, and it won’t take as many resources to upgrade your walls and defenses.
Try to keep things simple if you’re playing by yourself. If you’re playing Rust solo, then you don’t need a huge extravagant base.
It’s a popular strategy on the PC version of Rust, and it can help keep you alive. This allows you to stay on the move and still check out what’s behind you. This will let you hold L1/LB to freely look around the environment while running. Press Triangle/Y to swap the special action until you see head look. L1/LB is bound to Quick Drop by default, but this button can be swapped to many different special actions. This will bring up a map of the controller and all the buttons. Go the Options page from the pause menu, then go to Controls and select Control Layout. You can enable it in Rust Console Edition, but it’s buried in the settings menu. Head look is a great way to keep track of your surroundings while staying on the move.
