Just thought i would write up this review on the game due to the fact i am coming up on 4k hours and probably have quite a good idea on the mechanics within the game and how it all works. I’ll try to answer just about any questions you may have within this review but if you have any unanswered query’s please be sure to ask my via steam or discord (provided in my steam description). I personally begun playing Rust back in legacy (the first and original state of Rust) and honestly it has been my favorite game ever since the first time i played it. This game has a hell of a lot to offer and can suit just about any person who is fond of first person shooters, survival games, Multiplayer games, and a heavy suspense filled experiences.

What is Rust based on?
Rust is a survival based game where your aim is to survive within the world or Rust. You can choose to play eaither Solo, Duo or as many friends as you can possibly find. The game Potrays a post apocalyptic world filled with various radioactive monuments and vast biomes including Desert, Snow, vast grass fields, forests, swamps, and damp fungi forests.

Rust building mechanics and how it works.
Building within Rust is far from basic and offers a wide range options allowing you to build your base however unique and secure you like. In order to claim a given plot of land you must make sure your clear of any monuments and other surrounding bases then you must place what is called a “Tool Cupboard” that makes it so only you and your friends are able to build in the surrounding area so make sure when building that you prioritise the protection of your tool cupboard. Be careful though as the bigger the base the more upkeep the base will cost. What is upkeep? Upkeep is a sum of materials that is required to prevent your base from decaying. You can see how much upkeep is required by opening the tool cupboard and I will display an icon of a given material and how much is required per day. By placing the given amount into the cupboard you can rest assure that you base will be safe from decaying as if will show a live count down of how long your base is protected from decay. Decay rates and cost vary depending on what material your base is made out of and what doors you have on your base. There are four different states of Rust building materials including the lowest being Twig which is practically useless and extremely easy to break, Wood which is a good temporary upgrade but still nothing special, Stone which is the most common as it well protected and pretty easy to obtain, Sheet Metal which is double the strength of stone but as this material is greatly valued and harder to obtain you must make sure that you still have enough to prevent the decay, and lastly Armoured which is a extremely highly valued item and can be very hard to obtain large amounts of therefore if you want to upgrade your base to this form it will take a lot of time to do but come with a pay of as Armoured is twice as protective as Metal. Also make sure when upgrading your base that you have enough left over to prevent the decay of your building!!

What is Rusts loot like?
Loot within Rust is either obtained by scavenging monuments, Farming various nodes including Sulfur Ore (a material that is highly valued and used to craft Ammunition, Explosives and Gunpower) that has a lower gather rate than others, Metal Ore (a valued item used to craft weapons, armour and ammunition) that can be used to armour your base as it is one of the four building upgrade states with a medium gather rate. And lastly Stone (used to craft only a few low Tier items) and the main/ most common material used when upgrading a base as it’s abundant supply, low rarity and farmed in large amounts. Other loot contains components used to craft just about anything within the game including guns, explosives, electrical components, etc. There are many different components within the game that all serve there own purpose including springs, pipes, blades, tech trash, and weapon body’s that are needed to make weaponry. And are all found within monuments, crates, roadside junk piles and also obtained in pvp when killing a player whom was farming these items.

What dose Rust revolve around?
Rust revolves areound a certain mechanic that is put in place to make it difficult and harder to obtain higher teir loot so easily. The loot in rust is categorised into three groups Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Where obviously Tier one being the easiest to obtain therefore making Tier three the hardest. There is a workbench that is assigned to each one of these loot groups (1,2,3) that are required in order to craft the givin Tiers loot. Most loot within the Tier 1 loot is craft-able from the second you log into the game as your player already knows how to craft said items. Tier 2 and 3 loot must be first scavenged for or obtained within pvp altercations, then reaserched (using a research table) therefore making the givin item craft-able from there on. In order to research an item and able to be crafted you must scavenge scrap that is found within just about any loot container but best obtained by farming components and recycling them to have them turned to scrap. But be carful how you spend you scrap as it holds a high value and is know to be the in game currency of rust as it can be used not only for researching items but also to purchase loot within the outpost (a monument guarded by scientists that are only hostile when attacked). Different items cost more scrap in order to be researched for example an Ak (Assault rifle) costs 500 scrap to research whilst a makeshift revolver only costs 75 scrap.

How dose Rust pvp (Player vs player) work?
Rust offers a very broad view on pvp compared to other first person shooters as there is a variety of weapons including Snipers, Pistols, Assault rifles. Semi automatics, Military grade weaponary and even primitive low teir weapons. Rust weaponry falls into of categories of either craft-able or non-craft-able this means that some weapons are strictly obtained via rare crates, surely drops, unlockable crates, and in game events therefore making these guns rare and difficult to get a hold of. Craft-able wepons have a much more makeshift and damaged look to them (as crafted by the player)

How do I obtain loot?
Loot is obtainable within rust by either scavenging respawnable loot within the radioactive mouments, cargo plane loot drops, high teir unlockable shipment crates, Oil rigs riddled with hostile Scientists (that will not like you) as well as a unlockable high teir crate that calls surport from heavily armoured scientists when activated therefore giving you yet another problem to deal with, and even an in game cargo ship event that is like the oil rig (also riddled with scientists) event that spawns high teir loot alongside three unlockable shipment crates whilst it circles around the island of rust.

How dose Rust raiding work?
Raiding in Rust like most things come in three tiers (1,2,3) with different rarity’s, building damage and craft cost. All deployable building items have different durability’s and cost to break and can all be found through “Rust labs” a website that displays all in game Rust deployable items durability and raid cost as well as every other Rust item including weapon damage rates and other information revolving around Rust


Are there more than just one server?
There are countless servers within Rust with a wide variety to suit anyone’s play style. There are PVE base servers where you just survive against the environment, PVP servers filled with gun fights and a suspense filled experience, there are servers that offer a higher loot gather rate making it easier to obtain higher tier loot faster and more efficiently, arena fight servers, battle royal, raid simulations and many many more. Having such a wide range of servers to choose from really never gets old.
