Hey all,

First of all, thank you all for being part of this amazing community and for all the great memories we’ve made together.

We’ve been away for a brief moment, taking some time to regroup and plan what comes next — and now we’re coming back with a fresh new start.

This isn’t goodbye — it’s a new beginning.

We’re excited to announce our new home: Rusty Retreat 🌲
A new Discord community where everyone from Reaction PvE is warmly welcome.

👉 Join us here: https://discord.gg/PPwA3ChjRV

And that’s not all — in a few months, we will also be launching a new PvE server and we’d love for you all to be part of it from day one.

🛠️ Our upcoming PvE server will feature:
A lightly modded server with events, an XP ranking system, and quality-of-life enhancements, creating a balanced experience that feels fresh while keeping the core Rust gameplay intact.

🌲 Around this campfire you’ll find:
• Chef — keeping the camp running smooth and warm 🥘
• Pingu — the heart of the retreat 🌿
• Nate — the night watcher under the stars 🌙
• Zitgun — the old bastard who’s been here since the first firewood 🪵😄

🔥 This is your space to chill, talk, and feel at home in the forest.

Rusty Retreat is built around community, good vibes, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

🏕️ New Community: Rusty Retreat
🛠️ New PvE Server Coming in a Few Months
❤️ Everyone from Reaction PvE is Welcome

We hope to see you all continue this journey with us.

This is only the next chapter.

See you around the campfire. 🔥

December Wipe is here!

Pingu — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 20:45:18 +0000

Happy 1st of December and also happy wipe day on Reaction PvE!

For this month all minicopters on our server will feature Christmas lights to get our players into the festive spirit! We can’t wait to see your wintery builds this wipe!

This wipe brings us a over 90 quality of life improvements and fixes! To name just a few of these improvements... plants in a planter can be harvested, cloned and removed in one action, certain items are quicker to craft, rooves can be rotated before placed on walls and there’s an increased pitch range on several instruments. Players will also be notified when world events such as cargoship, chinook and oil rig crates spawn.

Rust turns 9 on Sunday 11th December and there will be in-game birthday cake and hats to celebrate on the day!

And finally don’t forget that on Thursday 15th December (7pm GMT) there will be a mandatory server and player update to enable the Christmas event and some extra festive features!

May 2022
Only a few days to go until the June wipe! In May we saw some tweaks to improve zip lines, death screens and client performance. NPC scientists also returned to junkpiles and if you hadn't noticed, the forecast has become much more optimistic as 9 out of 10 days are supposed to be clear visibility weather! We also had a peaceful week on the server with no car crashes and our deer population grew massively!

This wipe we saw lots of interesting builds and in in particular lots of enclosed compounds! Total, Cookies and Rolf built a huge multi-section compound near Harbor at S23. Michael also built an enormous sheet metal and stone compound on an ice lake at T17 complete with it's own sky high tower for taking out patrol. Yenan took over a desert island at D7. Zit built a unique castle style base at E17 that had 4 pillars supporting the admin sleeping quarters. Over the road he also set up a free stuff shop which helped a lot of players get started. Wildorgan had a tall base at N12 with excellent views over launch site, water treatment and dome

A special shoutout and congratulations to Michael who managed to overtake Zit on the raidable base scoreboard this wipe! Just before Zit returned from his holiday Michael had an impressive lead of 63 points! Who dare taking on the challenge next time?

The next forced wipe is taking place on Thursday 2nd June at 7PM BST / 6PM UTC / 2PM EST. This will be a map wipe but as always, whilst learnt blueprints will remain if you would like them wiped please request a member of the admin team to wipe them for you when are are in-game. In June we should see revamped gunplay, NPCs at launch site and the usual bug fixes. See you all next wipe!

March 2022
Only two days days to go until the April wipe! This wipe we had only a few changes including monument lighting adjustments, improved vehicle body visuals and a few new models for items such as foods, teas and med kits. Next wipe will see the addition of the above rail network, powerline ziplines, new achievements and more improvements to monument lighting.

As always we saw some great builds this wipe! Michael built a huge triangular base at U17 which is carefully decorated with candles and Christmas lights! Over the road Michael has also built a public venue complete with dance floor, music stage and rooftop pool. DJtestor built an impressive sheet metal base on the ice lake at J17. And last but by no means least, Zitgun built a casino complete with poker room and pool area at M22.

The next forced wipe is taking place on Thursday 7th April at 7PM BST / 18:00 UTC / 14:00 EST. This will be a map wipe and we are planning to implement a slightly larger map so that we can make use of the new overground trains! Learnt blueprints will remain unless you request the admin team to wipe them for you. See you all next wipe!

February 2022
Not long until wipe day at 7pm (GMT) on Thursday! This month gave us the Arctic update which included the arctic research base monument, polar bears, spray cans and a few QOL improvements. The ice assault rifle and arctic hazmat suit are both available to purchase from the in-game admin shops. Later this week, on wipe day, we are expecting to see some more quality of life adjustments.

In our last monthly update, we mentioned the possibility of a new event plugin and this is still very much likely to happen soon but due to being super busy irl over the last few weeks there has been a slight delay in the implementation. Stay tuned for more information.

Great to see players battling for top spot on the raidable bases and player challenges leaderboards! This wipe we saw Mor Dubh and Odorf teamed up to build ‘casa el mordorf’. Michael gave Zit a run for his money with the biggest base design this wipe - an impressive castle fortress complete with rooftop pools.Piyuca and Shynta built nearby with a great looking base, decorated externally with the deluxe Christmas lights. Rinky used the sign artist plugin to add some pictures to the outside of his base, while ScubaSteeve built an armoured base on a snowy cliff edge with 360 panoramic views.

Thanks to all that have joined us in February. Hope to catch you on the server next wipe!

Only a few minutes to go until wipe later on today at 7pm (GMT)! This month we saw only a few minor tweaks as the game developers had some much needed downtime over the festive period. However there were some Twitch drops are the start of wipe and we also had the Lunar New Year update last week which bought us some sky lanterns, a tiger mask and firecrackers! The pretty sky lanterns are now available in the in-game admin shops.

The super builders of this wipe have been Ainzy and Smokiemcpot who have amazed us all with their incredible church at N18. Very excited to see what they design next wipe! Retoon built The Race Way which is a fun looking racetrack at T9! EdwinVegt designed a hotel resort for players to buy their own mini base at S18. Ptree created a cute carousel with horses at S19.

Tonight we are excited to see the launch of the Arctic update which will us bring arctic bases, spray paint, snowmobiles, a new hazmat suit, polar bears and more! This wipe will be a map wipe but all learnt blueprints will remain unless you request to have them wiped. A new round of Twitch drops will also be starting tonight at 6pm (GMT) until 11th February at 11:59pm (GMT). As server owners, we are looking into the possibility of some new event plugins during the next wipe and we hope to have more details on that soon.

As always, thank you to everyone who has joined us (new and old) over the last month and to those who have made a kind donation towards the upkeep of the server and plugins. See you all on the other side of wipe!

Just 2 days to go until wipe day! This month we saw some changes to the giant excavator, some ‘improvements’ to the AI of NPCs (which caused a few issues for plugin creators), Rusts 8th birthday and best of all, the annual Christmas update! We saw Santa flying across the skies delivering presents, a snowman hat, an advent calendar and a new customisable firework!

The admin team have completely redecorated the admin shops this wipe to give them a much more festive feel! We also added a grotto with some freebie Christmassy clothing and hosted the servers first Christmas Party! Thank you to everyone who joined us as we travelled across the map in a couple of scrap helicopters and completed most of the plugin events. It was a good evening of laughs and it was great to chat with some of you in the discord voice channel.

As always, we’ve loved seeing your bases and creations! Smokie and Ainzy have done an incredible job at building a base at H20 that could give Zit a run for his money! They’ve made good use from the Sign Artist plugin and have some incredible electrics throughout their impressive builds. Hixicus has placed an army of snowman at U25. Zit built an array of useful bridges to various islands. Franco designed a nightclub for the server Christmas party. Mor and Odorf have built some skyscraper wind turbines and a bothy complete with rooftop pool and bar at N8! Be sure to check out these builds before wipe day!

We hope everyone has had a great Christmas and New Year. We’re excited to see the fun that 2022 brings! A big thank you to those who have helped any new players throughout the year to feel welcomed and start their building projects by giving advice. See you all next wipe!

So here we are, wipe time again! This wipe saw the introduction of the Military Desert Base and MLRS vehicle. You could even use the MLRS vehicle to knock out a few walls (or more) in the raidable bases! We have also seen the charity skins event on both Twitch and the Rust in-game store as well as the addition of the ‘General’ tab in the Rust store.

In the Reaction PvE server, we have seen a lot of new faces this wipe both on the Rust server as well as on the Discord server and as always, it’s been fantastic seeing the community step up and make new and returning players feel welcome. We also saw zitgun flying (or crashing) for the first time so watch out in the skies as well as the roads now as the crazy maniac is everywhere! Firework displays have also been happening around the map which is always a spectacle to see!

Once again there have been some great builds spotted this wipe! Lots of player-made bridges were built again enabling players to travel with ease across the map, Wildorgan’s shopping centre and colourful garage door exhibit, Chef’s hostel and ski club – fitted with a dance floor of course, Sära and Potts delivering as always with some great looking bases, Tox with an undeniably trippy night club, Ptree and xoomoL with an incredibly well decorated base to keep warm in the snow, zitgun and SilentHunter’s HUGE bridge towards oil rig, smokiemcpot and Ainzy’s big castle and smokiemcpot made a traffic light system! There were too many to list them all but we love seeing all the creativity around the map!
We have also had another raidable base added to the base pool by Tox expanding our ever-growing base collection to offer even more variety!

The next forced wipe is due to take place in 2 days on 2nd December and will include a forced blueprint wipe thanks to FacePunch. We do have a mod installed that allows us to either reset BPs or unlock them all for individual players, so if you would like your BPs reinstated, please reach out to one of the admin team.

Being in December, next wipe will be all about Christmas and will include a new Admin Shop layout for December only. We're looking forward to another wipe with all of you, seeing more new faces and hopefully spotting Santa giving the map a visit closer to Christmas (likely to happen the week leading up to Christmas)!

Thank you to everyone, recurring and new, that have joined us for yet another (or perhaps your first) wipe on the Reaction PvE server! Catch you next wipe!

Only a couple of days to go until another wipe is over and done with! The start of the wipe saw further quality of life updates along with some missions to help get you started and an insane amount of horse poop! The final week of wipe has been spooktacular with the Darkness Falls Halloween update! Lots of candy hunting, pumpkin carving and Frankenstein creating!

As always we saw some fantastic builds on the server this month! ReekidAtItAgain set up Sexy Valley which featured lots of shops and a garage! Hixicus built a service station which was well positioned just down the road from SilentHunters and Zitguns (crazy maniac on the roads) base. Sara built a spooky base around the tree in the swamp. Chef built a well decorated church whilst Westy built a base around a pylon! And we saw lots of player made bridges across to different islands around the map.

Sara and Tswift have also designed a couple of new raid bases which have been added to our growing collection! Next wipe there will be some more Twitch Drops for a week from 20th November.

The next forced wipe is taking place on Thursday 4th November! This will be a map wipe but all learnt blueprints will remain unless you request the admin team to wipe them for you. It's been great to see some new players joining us this throughout wipe! See you on the other side!

The end of a 5 week wipe is almost here! This month we saw only a few minor updates which were mainly focused on ‘quality of life’.

This wipe we implemented the Habour Event where a cargo ship arrives at one of the harbours and is guarded by NPCs, turrets and Bradley!
We also added a plugin that allows authenticated players to place items such as refineries, large furnaces, high external gates and more on foundations.
And to the in-game skin donation store we added a few branded Reaction PvE custom skins for garage doors, rugs and a few items of clothing!

Zit has built an incredible looking casino this wipe at U13 and if you haven’t yet seen it then pop on before wipe and check it out! Tox came across several large hoards of animals and ensured the server was safe from animal attacks. Also great to see the return of SilentHunter, we were getting concerned the Crazed Maniac had abducted him

Spooky season has begun and we're hoping to see the return of the halloween content that has been implemented in the past couple of years with murderers roaming the roads at night and the candy hunt event! All your spooky decor will be available (as always) from our in-game admin shops! We’d also love to see some of your spooky themed bases featured in our ‘best-builds’ discord channel.

We are looking forward to the next forced wipe on Thursday 7th October! This will be a map wipe but all learnt blueprints will remain. However we now have a plugin installed that does allow us to wipe a players learnt blueprints… so if you fancy an extra challenge this wipe please let our admin team know and we can remove all of your current blueprints and your scrap hunt can begin!
As always thank you to everyone who has joined us for another wipe on Reaction PvE. See you next wipe!
