Rust Client v1069 exe

The player must gather resources to survive and craft items within the game, with the exception of any starting gear which currently includes a handrock & torch. Players gather resources such as cloth, food, stone, metal ore, sulfur ore and wood, which can be obtained from harvesting animals, mining rocks and chopping trees. The player starts with an initial crafting list of items such as basic weapons, clothing, and building materials. As the player progresses throughout the game, he or she can find blueprints and research kits for more advanced items to craft. These can be found in hidden crates, trash cans or barrels, or by taking items from other players' bases.

During gameplay, there are many challenges that the player may face, such as starvation, drowning, hypothermia, attacks from wildlife primarily from bears and wolves, or exposure to radiation from the many irradiated areas throughout the world. Some irradiated areas surround man-made structures throughout the game map, which can contain regularly spawned items such as firearms and blueprints. This provides an incentive to the player to risk exposure for the items. Due to the game being exclusively multiplayer, attacks from other players are also an ever-present challenge. Navigation can also be a daunting challenge in Rust. With no in-game map, new players must look to landmarks and sunrise/sunsets in order to get their bearings. Some third party maps have been created for the legacy version;[2] however, nothing to date has been released by Facepunch.

A prevalent concept in Rust is to form factions with other players. These factions usually create housing for their members, provide items and supplies and participate in organized raiding. Raiding is when a group of players organize an attack on another faction or group of players to steal their supplies and destroy their housing. An alternative to joining a faction is living the life of a nomad. Generally solo players want to build their house in an isolated spot and make sure to have good weaponry to defend themselves from other players and factions.
