What will the force wipe change in Rust?

Progression reset

The Rust force wipe for October 2024 will first and foremost reset players' progression across all the servers in the game (some modded servers will be exempted). All the Blueprints that players have earned will become locked once again. Each player has to restart their journey of collecting scrap and accumulating the Blueprints for different items in the game.

World Update 2.0

In addition to the general wipe, players will also experience the brand-new World Update 2.0 that has been promised by developers at Facepunch Studios. With numerous teasers flowing in the past few weeks, players are all set to enter a brand-new procedurally generated map with the latest update.

New Weapon

Furthermore, as showcased by content creators CipeaX and SHADOWFRAX, there is a brand-new weapon in development for the October Rust force wipe.
