I still dont get it. how are people so accurate?

[Doom Sayer]

I get killed instantly before I see people? Whats the ♥♥♥♥ing point? At least other games you dont have to grind for 10,000 or have 30 people in your group to you know, do anything in the ♥♥♥♥ing game?

Only fun of rust is watching youtube videos of it. Actual game is one giant pile of ♥♥♥♥.

hahah sounds like someones bad :)

[rollasonn]

Honestly. I think you're just bad at the game lol. Just practice. Only way to get better at things is to lose at them (:

[CiD EviL]

And yet you keep making posts about how bad you are at this game and that you have no friends. Good job.

Uhhh no? multiple ways to get better and improve game sense.
UKN, heavy modded servers, Upsurge 3x so easy, and dont play on high pop servers if you cant make plays. play on low pop until you're good at the game.

Try not going on the full servers. there are many low pop servers where you have a chance to explore, build, and experience before you get shot in the head and get base griefed.

This is not like most game where you want a full server with max population as a beginner.
Start slow on a no pop/ low pop server and practice getting a base down and secured.
Once you learn what you need to do in the first 1 hour of gameplay , you will have a better chance at more populated server.

There are many NO KILL/NO RAID server out there too if you want just to play PVE.

i understand your frustration.

let me tell you something, rust is one of the harshest games on steam. theres a heapload of ♥♥♥♥ that gives others an advantage over you, such as more experience, more team members, better guns, etc. you just gotta do with what you have and slowly climb up.

first, play on low pop servers (usually max 125 or 150)

don't start fights unless you know you'll win, and dont always run away from shots. if you run away and someone is shooting you, you have a higher chance of dying than if you fight back, unless you're near base or theres a forest you can hide in. if the guy is just plain geared, tough. it sucks, but with persistence you will eventually make progress. I died 13 times today trying to get a base up. But eventually, I did it.

First things first try and get yourself a spear. If you see nakeds, don't fight them, there is no point and you'll just take unwanted damage, unless they are bothering you. then hit stone, get pickaxe, then collect hemp and make yourself bow and arrows.

at this point, you want to make a base.

choose a secluded area, that is moderately flat and has room for upgrade. build near a single monument and farm the same one as much as possible, this got me a lot of loot. this way you'll be able to make the most progress.i recommend starting off with a 2x1 or a 2x2 because they are simple, easy and effective base designs. gather enough stone to fully upgrade it, then work on getting a furnace down, by killing animals or harvesting barrels. smelt metal ore and put down a metal door. get down an airlock (this is VERY important). at this point you should have bagged yourself in and got a TC down.

at this point go to radtowns and collect components and weapons, recycle, rinse repeat. also farm to upgrade base.

i know its said easier than done but it is possible. you just need to stay determined. rust is a game which takes a lot of tries to eventually succeed. but it will happen. play with a group, this will help you enjoy the game more as its really harsh for solo players.

never be afraid to take out guns, because they are how you get more guns. seriously, i used to never take anything i crafted out because id be afraid of losing it. it can be annoying to lose your loot, but if you think more about going out and killing someone for the thrill of it than the loot, you will do better. worrying about losing loot = whiffing hard = losing fights (and loot).

Those people are playing the same game. Most rust youtubers have well over a couple thousand hours and are therefore hardwired to play the game. Even they ♥♥♥♥ up sometimes.
play the game for fun not loot and you will generally do better.

[شيخمب ىهللمثق]

the game used to not require sooo much skill to control guns everyone was good but now ak and guns require soo much learning to actually use properly its kinda stupid as new players dont have that good of a chance but meh im only white man what can i do

outside of all the obvious things people have already commented on, what does it take to be considered "you know, do anything in the ♥♥♥♥ing game" because all the tools required to do anything in the game are checkpointed by the time you've gotten the game. the only series of progression this game really has is gear and structure. Once you have a base and gear it's just getting more gear and a bigger base and that ♥♥♥♥ caps pretty quick.
