The latest update for Rust, released in September 2024, introduces several new features and improvements. A key highlight is the addition of Hardcore Mode, which significantly ramps up the difficulty. In this mode, players lose access to the map, drone marketplace, MLRS Rockets, teams, and safe zones. There are strict limitations, such as only being able to place five sleeping bags at once, and both blueprints and map data get wiped monthly. This makes survival even more intense for those looking for a challenge.
Additionally, the update brings several quality-of-life changes, such as a Digital Clock and Wallpaper items, along with a Gas Compression Overdrive Weapon Attachment for enhanced combat. There are also numerous bug fixes and accessibility improvements to ensure smoother gameplay.
If you’re a fan of base-building, recent patches also introduced new craftable items, adjustments to resource gathering, and tweaks to NPC behavior.These changes aim to keep the game engaging for both new and returning players.
