Radtown is the latest Monument added to Rust. It was initially created during the Legacy phase of Rust, and with the latest October update, it has been revamped and reintroduced within the title's pool of POIs in the game.

Unlike other Tier-2 and Tier-3 Monuments, Radtown does not feature any NPCs guarding it, nor does it have a card puzzle. However, players will find an effective recycler and a ton of other loot scattered within the area.

The official blog confirms that players can get their hands on numerous varieties of crates such as the default crate, Military crate, and even Elite crates. Furthermore, with its unique architecture, this new Monument will undoubtedly be a great maze for solo players to exploit and outwit bigger groups.

Another addition to the massive Rust World Update 2.0 is Radioactive Water. It is a gameplay feature that can only be accessed on the Radtown Monument. Players can collect and use this item to serve numerous purposes.

One of the best ways to use it is to create trap bases, feeding them with automatic Radioactive Water. Alternatively, if you have a large farm, you can cleanse your entire setup using this item. It kills every single plant in the area, allowing you to start a new set of crops instantly.

High Calibre Revolver

The High Caliber Revolver is a brand-new weapon in Rust. It has been introduced with the latest update and is part of the armory section offered within the Level 2 Workbench Tech Tree. It is a craftable pistol and feeds on 5.56 ammunition. Naturally, it can deal a lot of damage. The developers have incorporated a slower fire rate to balance the weapon.

The High Caliber Revolver is perfect for players who prefer accuracy over rate of fire and erratic bullet sprays. In the right hands, it can dismantle groups all on its own.

Furthermore, the deep sea vision for players has been improved, and it is a great quality-of-life update. Alongside these changes, players now also have access to newer means to traverse the open seas, which is, the Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV).

Water well vendors

Water wells in the game have been revamped with the Rust World Update 2.0 update. This area has now become a POI and features unique interactive features. The Water wells in the game now provide players access to several vendors who sell teas, medicines, food, and other consumables.

Players will also find food crates in the vicinity, allowing them to source high-caloric foods and better-quality consumables in the game. Last but not least, the vendors in the Water well can be killed and looted. They respawn very often; however, the items on the store remain static and do not change when they respawn.
