T1 HANDMADE SMG
This month we're adding new weapons, firstly filling a gap in the weapon lineup, the Handmade SMG is unlockable near the end of the T1 tech tree.





While it lacks accuracy and raw damage, it compensates for this with sheer volume, letting players unleash a hail of bullets. Skilled survivors can use it to stay competitive by timing their attacks and positioning themselves carefully, allowing for surprise bursts against better-equipped foes.



SKS
Unlockable at the start of the T3 tech tree, the SKS bridges the gap between the SAR and the M39. This mid-tier powerhouse combines punchy damage with accuracy, making it a reliable pick for players who want a no-nonsense rifle wi... Read more

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
The yearly Halloween event is now enabled!



Once roughly every two in-game days, the Candy Hunt event will begin.
You'll have 3 minutes to collect as much candy as you can, then top 3 players are given special loot bags as a reward. These candies and loot bags can be opened for various types of loot, ranging from scrap, all the way up to an M249!

If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The candies you collect can be upgraded for better loot!

This year's Halloween event will run until November 7th.

RADTOWN
One of the emblematic locations from legacy Rust makes a comeback: Radtown.



We turned this monument from a bunch of blocky garage buildings, into a refreshed new gameplay space. We tried to preserve the proportions and purpose of each location while opening up new paths and adding way to improve the flow of movement and cover throughout.

DIGITAL CLOCK
Meet the Digital Clock, a new craftable item, a simple but powerful addition to your base's electrical setup.



When powered, it displays the current server time

1. Consumes 1 power
   
2. Available at the Tier 2 Workbench
   
3. Craftable for 100 Metal Fragments

The clock also allows you to set up alarms. When an alarm goes off, the power will pass through, allowing you to trigger any sort of circuit inside your base at specific times.

Whether you want to automate your farms, activate traps, or control lighting systems, you can set up to five alarms simultaneously.



GCO WEAPON ATTACHMENT
A powerful new cutting-edge experimental weapon attachment for those who crave more damage and speed in their shots. The Gas Compression Overdrive attachment boosts projectile damage and velocity, allowing you to h... Read more

TIN CAN ALARM
This month, we're adding the Tin Can Alarm, a new primitive trap made from hanging tin cans.





Crossing its wire will trigger the trap and cause a loud clatter, alerting anyone nearby to your presence.

You can deploy it anywhere from your base to inside monuments. Use it strategically to cover access points and defend your positions.



REPLICATED BUSH SOUNDS
This month, we are changing how the classic bush rustle sounds work. Bush sounds will now be audible to players around you. Just like with footsteps, you now need to take care of when you make noise in bushes. Going slower through a bush makes a quieter sound than when running through it.

MOTORBIKES


Motorbikes can now be found at several monument locations. One is a single-person bike and one has a sidecar as well, where a second player can sit and use weapons.

These are relatively fast and nimble vehicles, useful for quickly traversing the map using low grade fuel. If damaged, they can be repaired with a small amount of Metal Fragments.







BICYCLES
Bicycles can now be found across the map on roadsides, and also at several monuments. The standard bike takes one... Read more

SEISMIC SENSOR
This month we're adding the Seismic Sensor, a new electricity-powered deployable.



When powered, it will listen for nearby explosions and send a power signal when detecting any.

• You can configure its range from 1 to 30 meters (one foundation = 3 meters)
  
• It will output a different power value depending on the type of explosion detected

A non-exhaustive list of power values from explosives:

• 1 power = F1 Grenade, Beancan
  
• 2 power = Explosive ammo, Satchel
  
• 3 power = C4, Rocket

The idea is to let you detect and trigger circuits when you're being raided. Alarms, traps... the possibilities are infinite, we're excited to see what you will come up with!

AIMCONE REDUCTION
Any movement in rust would modify your baseline Aimcone so that shots taken while in motion were somewhat inaccurate. This was supposed to discourage "running and gunning". The problem with this is that *any* kind of motion while in a firefight puts you at a disadvantage (minor dodging) and increases the amount of RNG experienced by the player.



What I've done is reduced this penalty to zero to start, and blend it up to the full amount after 4 rapid fire shots. This means is you can now strafe and dodge while tap firing and not experience a huge aiming penalty, however full auto will be penalized.

I've also adjusted the Aimcone curve modifiers for a few weapons so that more shots have a higher probability of landing closer to the center. This has been applied to the Custom SMG, SAP and LR300.
