This month's update features a New Monument: The Apartment Complex, Rentable Shops, a New Clan System & Table, plus QoL changes and much more!
There is a master key available somewhere on the island - find it and you can unlock access to any occupied room in the apartments for 5 minutes.
Need a hint as to what room to burgle? There might be a guard in the basement who has more information.
To get started, simply approach the shop and interact with the contract hanging out front, and you'll get a breakdown of how much it costs. This includes a non-refundable upfront scrap fee as well as a per-hour (real-time) scrap cost. You will need at least 12 hours of rent available to open the store.
Once open, you can modify the sale listings and adjust stock levels like any other Vending Machine. These shops cannot be accessed by drone, but you can modify the sign above the shop to add some personal flair.
All of the shops already taken? After a shop has been open for 6 hours, you may take it over, but you will pay x2 on both the upfront scrap cost and per-hour rent. This will continue to escalate (3x, 4x, etc) if someone else takes over the shop after 6 hours until eventually someone runs out of rent and the shop (and cost multiplier) resets.
If a shop is taken over or closes and it has your belongings in its inventory, you may return to the shop to retrieve them. Just interact with the shop to pick up your items. These items will only last 24 hours though, so be quick!
Be warned, the master key can also be used on these stores so your items could be stolen if you try and store valuable goods.
We've extended last month's Torch animation system to support one handed melee weapons. We're just testing this out on the vanilla Hatchet for now, but once we're happy with the results we'll roll this out to other melee weapons. This allows for nicer movement while holding a weapon while still allowing two handed animations like throwing to play as expected.
This month, we’re introducing the Glowing Wallpaper Pack.
Brighten up your base with this collection of 27 wall, floor, and ceiling wallpapers. Featuring luminous neon, glowing graffiti, foxfire fungi, and more. Whether you’re building the coziest crib or an industrial powerhouse, this pack has something for everyone.
These wallpapers look great in the day, but are even more special when the lights go out.
Get ready to cuddle up with a bear that’s not only adorable but also changing lives!
Starting July 2nd, Rust will host a massive charity drive to raise money for two incredible causes: Cancer Research UK and Ronald McDonald House UK.
Rust is also partnering with some of the biggest names in the Rust community! Throughout the drive, partnered creators will be hosting their own fundraising streams, with free Twitch Drops to also help raise awareness of the charities and allow players to show even more support.
We even have a Charity Auction! Want a signed Displate poster? Or to design your own Rust Skin? Go check it out!
These one-of-a-kind charity bears are available through Rust’s in-game item store, and players can choose from two cute, quirky, and (actually) glowing but true-to-Rust designs which represent your contribution to supporting families in need and funding groundbreaking cancer research. Every bear purchased is a symbol of the community coming together to create a lasting impact beyond the game.
This month’s workshop skinnable is the Metal Shopfront.
Supporting customisation on both the front and back, you can finally sell your collection of severed wolf heads on brand. We’re looking forward to seeing some incredible submissions by the community.
To make your own Metal Shopfront skin, head over to the in-game workshop and locate the Metal Shopfront deployable item. From there, you can download the model file and add your own materials.
The team of expert fabricators and blacksmiths set out to recreate a 1:1 replication of the infamous base and safezone protecting Turret, with auto-tracking and a bespoke gun slot with firing mechanisms!
