What to expect from Rust's February 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 way for the upcoming update, allowing players to have a fresh start once they log into the game.


Primitive changes

As per the blog, Horses will now feature much more dynamic movement, allowing players to scale mountains and hilltops, and cross small crevices without facing any hindrance.
