How to deal with annoying stream snipers in RUST.

How to deal with annoying stream snipers in RUST.

1. Delete any unknown pepole from your friends list.

2. Hide your map on stream when switching sences.

3. You can have a very weird name like this: "موزТв12S4ойо34!WSте123ц" That pepole will not be able to track your name down. (you dont need to have a regular name like "Jeff, or 123" becuase it will be easy (most of the time) to track you down by your steam name.)
OR you can change it to something equally popular like steve or jeff (names that pepole use alot in-game) And most of the time it will be tricky to find you.
you can also use invisible character as your name: https://emptycharacter.com/

4. Play on streamer mode. ("As long as streamer mode is on, they can't get the names of anyone killing you to track you that way either.")

5. Turn off the in-game chat.

6. Mute voices in-game.

7. Dont tell the server name to anyone expect your teamates.

8. Be offline at steam and discord.

9. Every time you close your stream change your name and your picture to something else.

10. Dont give ANYONE that you dont know your Steam profile URL.
(Very important!, if you share your steam profile URL pepole will know to what name you are changing, if you already shared it with somebody, I recommend you create a new steam profile, keep it private. And use the steam "family share option" to share Rust to that profile. -credit to u/minus_one_1 on reddit.

11. Not really necessary but try not to use door skins, garage door skins, or things like that.

If that doesn't work, then you just have to live with it. It's the nature of streaming.
