ABOUT RUST
Rust Console Edition is a multiplayer survival game where players gather resources, build bases, and fight to survive in a harsh, open-world environment filled with threats like hunger, wildlife, and other players.
The gameplay focuses on exploration, resource management, crafting, and dynamic player interactions, blending survival and competitive elements in a persistent online world. Players start with nothing but a rock and must gather resources like wood, stone, and metal to craft tools, weapons and clothing.
Building and fortifying bases is crucial to protect resources from other players, who can raid or attack at any time. Players must manage hunger, thirst, body temperature and health while navigating threats like wildlife, environmental hazards, and player-versus-player combat.
