The debut of the February force wipe for the title will incorporate a brand-new game mode, i.e., the Primitive mode. In this mode, players will only get access to tier-1 weapons, all of which are from the primitive tech tree. This includes weapons like swords, shields, crossbows, and bows, along with guns like revolvers and double-barrel shotguns.

The Primitive mode will be hosted in exclusive servers, and will not be part of the ongoing official servers like Rustoria EU Main, Rustoria SEA, etc. Fans can expect official primitive servers to go live with this update, alongside community-made servers and modded servers featuring the contents of this update.

Lastly, this update will also incorporate the addition of new raiding tools, such as Siege weapons. Four siege weapons are coming to the game — Ballista, Catapult, Siege Tower, and Battering Ram. These additions will revolutionize online raiding, making the gameplay even more fun and engaging.
