help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: Can you play Rust solo?
    A: Yes, but it is extremely challenging. The game is designed around player interaction and PvP, and solo players are at a significant disadvantage against organized groups (clans).
  • Q: How do I change my character's appearance?
    A: You cannot. Your character's physical appearance (gender, race, etc.) is randomly generated and permanently tied to your game account (e.g., your Steam ID). The only way to change it is to use a different account.
  • Q: What is a 'wipe'?
    A: A wipe is a server reset. On a set schedule (usually weekly or monthly), all player-built structures are removed, and everyone starts fresh with a rock and a torch. This ensures a level playing field and keeps the game from becoming stagnant.
  • Q: Is Rust pay-to-win?
    A: No. The game is a one-time purchase. All paid content is purely cosmetic (skins) or optional (DLC with themed items like instruments) and provides no gameplay advantage.
  • Q: What is Shatterline?
    A: Shatterline is a free-to-play, arena-style first-person shooter that features both a roguelike co-op PvE mode called Expedition and a variety of classic PvP modes.
