How to start in Rust

Here are some good tips and tricks to get started in Rust! If you need any help leave a comment or add me here on steam!

Zig-Zag when running!
Dodging and weaving are the best ways to avoid being hit by bullets, eaten by wolves, killed by bears, or being smacked by players with spears. Running randomly is a great way to keep yourself as safe as possible in the wild wild world of Rust.

Waterpipe Shotgun is OP
The waterpipe, which is a simple, easy to make and use shotgun, is easily one of the most frustrating ways to die, but one of the best ways to get tools off other players. Hiding around a corner with a waterpipe is a sneaky way to get loot, and quick!

Lock Your Tool Cupboard!!
This is super important. Locking your tool cupboard is very strong way to secure your base. It will cost your raiders more resources to get control to building access to your base, and if they don’t have enough to break it, locking it can possible keep the materials in your base safe and giving you building permissions to rebuild your base. This is important early game if someone is to get deep into your base so they can’t take it over or grief it.

Ladders
You can get into and out of tight spots with a ladder! Ladders are an easy way to make a raid safer, easier, and more efficient, or climb up to a loft in your base!

Safe Houses / Stash Houses
If you have resources to spare, placing small bases, equipped with sleeping bags and tools, are a great way to stop you from losing everything in one raid, as well as keep yourself safer when out roaming. Small one-by-one bases, especially those with airlocks, are great for this.

Pick Up Resources When Traveling The Map
Each small stone, tree stump, or hemp plant can add up. If you are out farming, roaming, or even raiding, make it a habit to pick up these small resources, as they can be extremely helpful later (and in the early game!)

Keep Spare Kits on Hand
In the event of a raid, lost gunfight, or death by radiation, bears, or wolves, you’ll want to be able to head back out there to retrieve any lost items. By keeping a spare set of clothes, armor, and a gun or two somewhere safe in your base, you can reduce the amount of time you have to spend grinding between each death.

Being Sneaky (Crouching)
Crouching is a perfect way to add a layer of security to your roaming. You don’t have footsteps for others to hear and can get closer to animals and other players without them being aware! You will be able to get much closer to the animal while crouching, making your chances of hitting them with a melee weapon significantly higher!

High External Walls
High external walls are great to have on your person late-game. If you’re getting shot at, all you must do is pop up a wall between you and your attacker! With wood high-externals costing only 1500 wood and barricade covers costing 300, there is no reason that you shouldn’t have these with you if you are running with expensive guns and armor.

Log Out In a Safe Spot
When logging out, make sure to log out in a safe area inside your base. And no, this doesn’t mean inside of your front door—try sleeping in the most secured area in your base to increase your chances of waking up alive and untouched.
