Rules
What we expect
Some rules apply everywhere. Others only make sense on one side. We have marked which is which so you are not reading PvE rules before a solo wipe run.
EverywhereApplies to all six servers
- No racism, homophobia, or sexism. We have zero tolerance. This is the one we never negotiate on.
- No cheating, scripting, or exploiting. If a bug gives you an advantage, report it instead of farming it.
- No VAC or game bans in the last 180 days. Rust game bans need a full year of clean history, and we do not allow ban evasion, suspicious alts, or VPN use to get around it.
- Do not accuse people of cheating in chat. Public accusations start arguments and tip off the people we are actually investigating. Use F7, /report, or a Discord ticket.
- Keep signs and art PG. No politics, no pornography, no hate imagery.
- Never block a monument. Building to deny access to anyone else is not allowed.
PvP onlySolo, Duo and Quad
- Respect the team limit on your server. Solo is one, Duo is two, Quad is four. Every PvP server we run is capped.
- No teaming past your limit. Sharing loot, bases, respawn points, or callouts with anyone outside your team counts as teaming.
- Brief encounters are fine, staying together is not. You have roughly ten seconds to engage or disengage. After that, fight or separate.
- No C4 or rocket raiding for the first 48 hours. From the Thursday wipe until Saturday at 2PM Eastern. Every other raiding method is allowed.
- No alt accounts for storage or scouting. One account per player, per wipe.
- Trade through safe zones at fair value. No one-sided transfers, giveaways, or paying another player to raid, scout, or farm for you.
- Raiding is fair game. KOS, door camping, counter-raiding, online and offline raiding are all permitted.
PvE onlyPure, Survival and Hardcore
- No killing, stealing, or raiding other players. Player damage is disabled. Do not look for ways around it.
- First player at an event or monument has loot priority. That covers puzzles, Bradley, the helicopter, and supply drops.
- Take turns. Do not monopolise monuments or events while other people are waiting.
- Whoever starts a raidable base finishes it. Loot locks to the first attacker and we enforce the cooldowns.
- Do not take vehicles with engine parts in them, even when they are unlocked.
- Do not block rivers or waterways, and do not spam external cupboards to claim land you are not using.
- Be willing to work with other players. This side of the community runs on people not being difficult with each other.
