RUST like never before

Normally players in RUST try to get their hands on powerful firearms as quickly as possible at the start of the game, but what if they didn't exist and you had to rely on “primitive” weapons?

That's exactly what the new “Primitive” gamemode does. Modern firearms have disappeared. Instead, you use a sword, shield and crossbow and go into direct confrontation.

Together with cool siege weapons such as a battering ram, siege tower or catapult, RUST feels completely different to what you are used to. So let's go into battle!

Briefly summarized

The latest RUST update offers you:

  • New game mode “Primitive”
  • No firearms
  • Battles with sword, shield and crossbow
  • New siege weapons: Battering ram, ballista, catapult, siege tower
  • Revised horses (for better control)
  • A range of QoL improvements
  • Social integration in the game (invite friends, etc. ...)
  • New MEDIEVAL PACK DLC with 8 skin items
