What to expect from Rust's May Force Wipe?

General updates

With the upcoming force wipe, players can first and foremost expect the removal of all their saved blueprints across different servers in the game. All official, community, and some modded servers will wipe out their storage, and as such, players will have to restart their grind once again.

Alongside blueprints, all maps in the game will also be wiped out. Server owners will procedurally generate new maps to pave the way for the upcoming update, allowing players to have a fresh start once they log into the game.


Jungle Biome

The Jungle Biome will be the biggest addition coming with the debut of the May Rust Force Wipe. This biome will feature new animals, such as grizzly bears, crocodiles, snakes, and tigers. Furthermore, players will also encounter new Scientists on the road, who, like the generic Scientists, will feature unique loot when eliminated by the players.
