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
The latest developer blog from Facepunch Studios indicate that the Rust February update will overhaul the primitive system within the game. As per the official blog, players can expect a ton of new primitive gear to get incorporated within the blueprint system of the title.
With the latest update, fans can expect newer primitive weapons, such as the 4-shot mini crossbow, and other defensive tools, like different grades of shield to surface in the game.
Alongside these additions, the developers have also confirmed the release of four different artillery weapons being released in the game, namely:
