Rust is a multiplayer survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world on an island filled with various biomes, dangerous wildlife, and hostile NPCs. Players scavenge for resources while avoiding natural hazards such as radiation and harsh weather and contending with other players. They can construct their own shelters and bases, craft weapons and tools, and engage in PvP combat. Rust's world is persistent, challenging, and unforgiving. Players respawn naked and gearless. Players cannot feel pain.
