A survival MMO offers you the ultimate thrill in a new mode – This is “Hardcore Rust”
In the survival hit Rust, players can enjoy a new mode that offers a special challenge and promises thrills.
What game is it? Rust is a PvP focused survival game available on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One. The popular title follows a very classic survival approach and exposes you naked and unarmed in the wilderness.
Then you loot your equipment and build a shelter. Genre-typical elements such as crafting and base building are available to you.
With Rust emphasizing PvP and players being able to equip weapons, action-packed firefights and thrills are the order of the day.
Rust brings new mode
What is this mode? Rust is getting a hardcore mode this Thursday, September 1st, 2022 as part of the monthly content update (via Twitter).
Hardcore mode is characterized by taking away important tools from the players, making the game more challenging and difficult. Shooter fans in particular already know the principle from games like Escape from Tarkov.
Rust Hardcore mode does not affect the main game and is not forced on anyone. It’s an optional mode that you can play, but you don’t have to. You can activate the mode via command on your server.
What tools does hardcore mode remove? Again YouTuber SHADOWFRAX already reported before the release of the hardcore mode, the new mode removes or limits features that are used in Rust, for example for orientation and communication.
- No map, no compass
- limited chat functions (no global chat)
- removes safe zones
- removes the team system
- Limits the number of sleeping bags on a map to 5 per player
How does Rust offer the ultimate thrill? Rust is characterized by intense player encounters, PvP combat, and a will to survive.
If you then also take away the map for orientation from the players, some chat functions for communication and the safe zones as a safe haven, then chaos and war is almost inevitable.
Because communication is limited, other players’ intentions are harder to understand. A certain distrust quickly arises, since you never know who is hasty on the trigger. And then there is also the fear of losing your own loot and the disorientation… pure thrills!
Is Rust, the biggest survival game on Steam, still worth starting in 2022?
Survival hit on Steam and Twitch
How popular is Rust? Rust is one of the most popular survival games on Steam. The title averaged nearly 83,000 players on the platform in August, peaking at 134,000 concurrent players for the month (via steamcharts).
At the current time (September 1st), over 44,000 players are playing Rust, which puts the survival hit ahead of genre competitors such as ARK: Survival Evolved (39,500 players) and 7 Days to Die (14,940 players).
