Rust has been going strong since its debut back in 2013, being one of the hallmark games noted for its survival and role-playing abilities. Thank you, 2010s, for that lovely flashback. I did nearly escaped my sins. Since then, the attention and love for the game, by both the fans and the developers, has not waned- updates have been fairly consistent, changing the face of the game just about completely while still keeping that core part of the game the same as what drew people into it in the first place. One of the newest updates holds rather promising rewards in particular..

When you have a game as big as this..

Problems tend to happen inside the game itself. Rust, for example, explained in their newest update, the reason they hadn’t been really overhauling or tuning their mission creation mechanism by creating new tasks or more in-depth revisions, seeing as previously it was a very basic format, was due to the way Rust was set up behind the scenes for coding. The process to make new missions was cumbersome and taxing, making most of it a very unnecessary act of manual labor. Luckily for everyone involved, this has been streamlined, promising future missions to be more engaging.

If it isn’t broke

The rest of the update has things working on the game map, multiplayer tricks so you don’t die before you find your best buddies by spawning you in with them, a classic for multiplayer games. I was a little surprised not to see it already done, considering how big the multiplier aspect is on this game. Regardless, Rust is still one of the best games you can find out there for the pure joy of beating the odds and fighting off the world itself, highlighting the need to survive that has pushed humans through so much adversity. Play on, little buddies, play on.
