Creator Spotlight
This month we have Albin! Somehow he got the most kills AND the most deaths in the recent Rival's event. This guy seeks out danger.

"In 2016 (I was 15 at the time), I was playing too much CSGO and was starting getting to get bored of it. Was really good timing that my friends could show me Rust as a another first person shooter game.

Fell in love with the game in my first few hours of playing and been playing ever since.

What I love about this game is that you can do sooooo many different things. Everyday is different! Of course, just the pure chaos that can occur. Its not like CSGO when you load in to a match on same map everyday. The people I was watching the most was hJune, Frost, Ramsey. But hJune was the one I watch the most I was like 'how is this guy so hecking good at this game?'. Made me wanna get as good as him."



Pretty great Twitch clip[clips.twitch.tv] of him being a maniac.



Printed Codelock
Reddit user u/TarikMcqueen 3D printed and painted a real-world code lock.




They want to refine it a bit more and possibly share some with the community!

More details here.



Speed Painting
I'm always in awe at the crazy amount of talented players we have in Rust. The things they can do with in game signs warms my heart. Even the meme ones!

Here's Chigidapo with "This is fine"




Reddit Bits
There's only one way to raid a submarine.

Taking his new gig a little too serously.
