Rust is Facepunch Studios' brutal multiplayer survival game. Starting with nothing, players must gather resources, craft tools and weapons, build a base, and survive against both the environment (animals, radiation, hunger) and other players (raiders, rival clans). Known for diplomacy, betrayal, and large-scale clan warfare, Rust creates a server-based economy and social dynamic, each server lives through its own cycle of periodic wipes where players effectively write their own rules.
