Rust is a PvP survival video game developed by Facepunch Studios.
Rust puts players against each other in a harsh, open world environment with the sole goal of survival. The primary danger comes from other players but there are animals too such as wolves, bears and deers. There are maps that are procedurally generated and some pre-built maps. PvP combat is accomplished with bows, melee weapons and craftable guns. Bullets and other projectiles travel in a ballistic trajectory, rather than being hitscan. There are different types of bullet for each gun, including high velocity and explosive, thus allowing for more diverse strategy. Hit tracking calculates damage; shots to the head are more damaging than shots to other parts of the body. The use of weapon attachments, such as holographic sights, provide an advantage over opponents. To survive, the player must build bases, craft tools, farm and team with other players.
Players have to manage their hunger, thirst, wounds and health.
