This is why player statistics for Rust or any other game that tracks player statistics is purely entertainment. The only way statistics can be assumed accurate is under controlled conditions. For example nobody head shoots before matches like Battle Royale begin or tournaments, etc. That is the only way statistics can be accurate is if they are regulated under some sort of condition. Then there is the administrator death ratio player statistics as another example. Their suicide or death count might be through the roof. It doesn't actually reflect how many times they legitimately died during PvP, but how many times they had to suicide to help somoene. These are just a couple examples of why unregulated player statistics should be considered as only entertainment value.

Ah, thanks. Good to know. So a silly bragging right then but nothing serious or actually impressive.
