Blueprint Wipe
For the first time in years we are force-wiping blueprints across all rust...

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

This month we have added the tech tree which will give you the choice of how you unlock your blueprints, this has also led to a huge update on item crafting recipes, tiers and the loot you will find in airdrops and heli/bradley crates.

There is also a power input on each floor that will call the Elevator to that floor if it receives power. To help make this setup easier we've also made the Push Button send a small burst of...
