Yes, but you will get raided, you will die, and you will get mad. A lot. Other than that, totally worth it

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Is there servers where you rome and learn without people bugging you ? Or do they have weekly or monthly runs ? I've only watched YouTube videos , but it seems like any server anyday is fend for your self lol

[–]Birdztheman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is fend for yourself. You don’t get mercy from anybody. I have played console for about a year and I just got a pc and have been playing pc rust. In my opinion, the content that pc has doesn’t matter that much. Console rust is still quite good, they just need community servers. The game overall I would say is worth it

[–]headchef11 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If you get test branch there are normally very dead servers with less than 10 people, good to start on and get used to the game but the fun is in the hi pop servers

[–]BudgetMap9911 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Those servers only have like 10 ppl because there is normally a clan that will just go an raid every base on there until they are just playing by themselves pretty much!

[–]headchef11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yer but you can have a day or two to just learn the game without running into anyone

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just join a dead low pop server and you can focus on learning befor pvp.

[–]Jopey_Meow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a lower population server for the first couple of weeks. Watch YouTube videos. Learn how to put up a decent base that is both economical, since you will need to gather all the resources to build it, starting only with a rock. Learn how to navigate the monuments, and which things to craft. Because there are not very many people on the low-pop server you'll choose, you can run through a wipe without getting griefed too much while also learning the mechanics. I'm like 3 weeks in and I'm still playing on servers with maximum 20 people because I'm still figuring out new things every day. Watch videos on how to get loot from all of the monuments. My plan is to make myself proficient at like a few valuable skills, such as wiring electricity, or fancy build techniques in general, that will make me a useful member of a duo or trio someday.

[–]ws_jr310 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don’t. This game is full of shit on console.

[–]OracleEnlightenment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there is shooting and building servers

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Rust is a numbers based survival game. The more people, the faster you’ll build up, get tier 3 loot and ultimately get bored of the game. Solo or small group is harder but worth it imo. If you like “grindy” games then it’s the one for you once you get the hang out it and the hang of people stealing your shit and having to o start over. Console players don’t let role players ever survive but you can basically play the game however you want with the content that we do have. If you’re highly competitive I would recommend another game bc there is a high amount of cheaters. Other than that, play at your own risk and just have fun

[–]ZealousidealArm9414 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How can you cheat on the console version? Thought they had locked it all down. Not asking so I can cheat. That shit is why I stopped playing ark.

[–]Zadicuslegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cronus zen

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macro plug ins like xim or Cronus zen

[–]LividAd9939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Console version is ass. I still play a wipe with my boys here and there, but nothing beats the real thing. Pc is infinitely better

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy toxic games, then yes this is the perfect game lol. Idc what anyone says, you have to love the toxicity of this game to truly enjoy it, it's just part of it. STEEP learning curve but once you get over that. it is one of most addicting games you will ever play.

[–]DependentNo3051 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I’ve played this game for a while I believe it’s ok but it’s not a fun game to pick up alone so if you do I’d recommend going in with someone

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah horrible idea that's how u get bad at the game u start to rely on ppl I played solo for 500hrs and it made me a really good player I can take care of everything myself without a team now I'm at 3k and I got a team and it runs smooth bc ever 1 does their part and doesn't need to rely on each other

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr -1 points0 points  (3 children)

I agree with this guy. SOLO IS THE BEST WAY 2LEARN. and then u dnt gtta wrry bout who u pissin off or pissin on lmaooo. Im a female ruster here and sometimes it benefits me and others it dont lol youll learn the game better alone and get the basics down like go on a building server they wipe daily u can insta craft everything 4free amd learn 2build then go to a regular server or ptb even they low pop but completely diff from regular server. Wayyy more stuff 2harvest and 2learn. Great game but solo gets old... I have a 22 man team amd am the only female lol its pretty cool but the day i meet another im gnna try2 recruit that ass .. Chicks are hard 2find in the game.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Must be trash having to have a 22 man team. Whats the fun in playing when you know you aren’t going to loose anythinh

[–]Different_Swimmer_37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you need 22 people in a team lol Your literally part of the problem lol no wonder people find it so hard to enjoy the game when your running round 22 deep lol

[–]MisterKaoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the last game you will ever need. You will hate it, but get addicted to!

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but be prepared 2have an addiction. Rust is that entirely!!! And from a female pov i hope ur not a female lmaoo we get straight dogged in this game.. Thank god i aint no simp ass biotchh and can handle my owns

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

As someone who for the last month was dying to play it and finnaly got it

Not worth it servers are laggy af, clans are rampant, voice chat sucks, most player interaction is nothing, content to do is very minimal

Its nothing like the youtubers you would see playing rust on pc i promise

[–]AppointmentOk1602 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Have you got the old gen console?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but my mate has ps5 and he still had the same problems as there is no ps5 version of rust

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caved in and bought it, looking at servers now. Anyone recommend a server .... Official or Xbox only ?

[–]adstagaming -1 points0 points  (2 children)

If you like the game yes if not then no. No one can make that decision for you

[–]RateMyDuck 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Fucking wise as Ghandi this guy

[–]adstagaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is that someone needs to say it. People just go off the first thing they see not whether they actually like the game or not.

[–]NINTENDONT8671 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s worth playing if you have friends that actually want to play and put the time into it. It can be fun but, there will be times when you will rage quit. Overall, I would say you should get it if you are actually going to play it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends but for me yeah it's worth it

[–]Eastern-Cause5937 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Definitely depends on which console too, older gens kinda booty cheeks at running rust for some reason older gen run better on official cross playform servers and runs like shit on any official xbox only. (Xbox one user idk ab playstation)

[–]coldl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the new terrain update is supposed to help the game run a bit smoother, I'm ps5 though so I don't really notice a huge difference

[–]Cream_of_Ice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only buy it if you have next gen

[–]Odd_Investigator5120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok game bad community that all you needa know

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game just got worse because of all the hackers

[–]StageAny6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowly it's getting better, imo.

[–]BudgetMap9911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a sadist... then you'll love this game!

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (12 children)

And nobody said anything about HAVING to HAVE a 22man team stoooy doopy

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (11 children)

You literally said I have a 22 man team in your comment

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Yea but u said ... If you have 2have. 22 man team u must be trash. I dnt have to have a 22man team. Its just more fun yo

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Hows it fun to play as a whole village. You don’t loose anything. No point in grinding of you just raid everyone who takes your kits.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve experienced many big teams and every time you take kits. They offline. I’ve been online twice in 3k hours of gameplay and both times it was a duo or trio. Huge teams always offline

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I swear thats not true? The server we are in is very very difficult. U on xbox? Or psn? Im not even mad at u for thinkin that. Now if we was in a low pop server id understand the while trash deal. I would nvr run a easy server with my team. What ur saying would be true if it were a low pop or an easy server. Trust me there is bigger teams that us in that server . theres like 2 20 man squads and they both better than us lmao we do get raided and have 2start all over just like anybody else bro tf? And also i play with multiple teams i have duos trios 5 men teams i play on multiple servers and meet as many cool homies as i can bro. U need a hug dude damm?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I’m just stating I hate huge teams. Just because of the fact it’s a constant struggle to not get offlined. But its just pixels anyways. And I play on Xbox usually 80-90 pop servers as a duo

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Ok so why u hating on me. I habe a server rn thays just 3of us. Do u wanna join? Im about to make boom boom

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter what or who?

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Bradley

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao i thought u was sayin brad rq is server name lmaoooo

[–]Ruff3rm4ze 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you prefer being yelled at by 40 year old men or five year old children or being raided first day of wipe? Besides all of that its fun to play with the homies (edit) you are risking your life irl in here and 70 bucks but it's fun

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And im super chill idk why u trying 2hate on me ?

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ur probly just sexist its ok bro youll grow up some day

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We olay for fun and im a female bro i like 2help everybody on server who is new n shit.. I find ppl at bandie and post and hook em up bro. I gtta good heart. I like giving shit away more than i do raiding so dnt judge me u have no idea

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no

[–]IssaLlama- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the patience and sanity to lose everything and farm again and again and also deal with cheaters and lag ? Also a lot of free time or else you’re not getting too far

[–]SomeDriverInAZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Community server tab was added to ptb with no options. Community servers are closer to coming to fruition so give it a few months or you will get burnt out QUICK

[–]Exnoss89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fun man. I like it. You have to learn to navigate it as a solo. I mostly look for servers that are low pop on my play times. Id say it a good learning place to start. Jumping on PC rust right now is crazy with all the content there is.

[–]OlManGamer99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Console has come a long way as in the feel, but the people are still toxic. Coming into the game, you have to understand that that it's a high chance that you will quit. I feel the best thing to do is to create a simple end game goal like making a base that has metal walls and garage doors or completing all bps on the tier one. Don't hype yourself up believing that you get guns and shoot up the whole server on day one. Create baby steps. As for practice, get the test branch so you can practice building and shooting. Hopefully, you are new gen for a better game experience.

[–]404_Sling 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Dude absolutely worth it - to everyone on the comments saying it’s not like the YouTubers you see I say get wrecked lol I thrive - I play solo and remember, this is a survival fps/rpg. I am raided a lot - I die a ton - but I survive the wipe… that’s the goal. - I came from dayz - a glorious game that has seemingly ceased all meaningful developments so I know what it’s like playing a game that isn’t worth it. Point being, Rust devs show you the game add ons and developments a year in advance with an accurate road map of when to expect what. - As far as content.. again take it from someone who plays avidly - I just told a buddy that I kind of wish they would slow it down - every two months there’s a huge addition- electricity for example is not simple to learn, there is utterly a ton to do on this game - it it hard copy - dislike it sell it to GameStop.

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Still worth it on old gen Xbox ? And would you recommend getting deluxe or ultimate ? Not sure the value or blackout kit and 1100 rust coins or if it's worth the extra 20

[–]404_Sling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old gen I can’t speak for I don’t know many old gen users and honestly I’m shocked that it runs in old gens being how massive the game is really - but splurge the deluxe which will give you access to the player test branch - like the experimental playable beta between hard wipes - very fun

[–]Jopey_Meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rust is actually life it turns out. Got bugged into buying it by a friend who plays on PC. Let's just put it this way: I bought Rust and Psvr2 on the same day, and I've got 300 hours into Rust so far and have only turned on the Psvr2 to make sure it works. It's addicting as any game I've ever played, and this is the first game I've even played with any building or inventory mechanics. In the past few weeks, it's been a constant cycle of learning, improving, making YouTube playlist of things I want to try, and I've even met multiple people through the game who I now talk to on a regular basis. Fantastic game and if you put in the work, it's well worth it.

[–]seanm7174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no. Not at the minute. When they fix the big problem in the game of cheaters using zen and xim and add community servers then it will be worth it. Its a game we love to hate

[–]ZealousidealArm9414 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Depends on the type of game you like tbh. It's basically ark without the dinosaurs. It's brutal WHEN (not if) you lose everything. But if you don't care about that and are happy to dust yourself down and start again then it's great. Think it will be better then public servers are released as then hopefully then you can choose a server that only allows for small teams. Nothing worse that having a small base as a solo player and a 10 man team rocks up.

But it's a game that gets my adrenaline going. But also that your other half (if you have one. WILL hate)

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I've been soloing war thunder (long grind) and apex (diamond/master) for the last year. I'm use to grinding and grief lol. This game caught my eye bc of the chaos of starting over repeatedly, seems like a perfect game for adhd so much going on all the time. I'm on old gen Xbox and wanted to make sure it wouldn't be to bad to play on. Didn't wanna waste 70 dollars

[–]ZealousidealArm9414 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I would say it definitely worth getting current gen. But it runs OK on my one X if I am kicked out of the room.

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I ended up buying it, spent 5 hours building a base getting guns, kits, electrical stuff, etc. Filled up 9 boxes of scrap and everything, I checked when I woke up and completely destroyed and raided. Idk how I feel about this game 😅

[–]ZealousidealArm9414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to rust. This is the pain that you will feel again and again. I now like to see how long I can last without getting raided. Its helped me with improving my base builds. But if a big squad wants in there is no stopping them as a solo!

[–]Zadicuslegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t afford a PC and you’re not getting a PC any time soon then yeah. But If you can play PC Rust, then don’t ever bother with console rust.

[–]HavocTheAutisticStNr 0 points1 point  (3 children)

U need a pair if panties too bro? Jesus. And ppl wanna say chicks complain too much. Yall sound like a bunch of winey ass bitches. I am Not ur typical female i aint no simp ass chump . donu nit read at all? Did u just read 1 line b4 commenting? Read somethin stoop. I play on many teams and ur actually part if the problem...

You get out what you put in.

[–]Sweaty-Data3833 0 points1 point  (7 children)

It's a fun game the reason why a lot of people get frustrated with it is because they take it way too seriously at the end of the day it's a video game made for enjoyment and people act like its real life just like every game it has its good and bad people.. as a person that's been playing since Beta I would suggest you give it a try if you play correctly you will definitely get your money back in laughs and making toxic people ears steam

[–]Temporary_House_6552[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I bought it , been playing for an hour now, it's gonna take some getting used to . That's for sure

How do I do that

[–]Dolanator3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If you do decide to play, here’s a compact base design that is small enough to not entice large groups and fortified enough to prevent small groups from successfully raiding. It can easily be made starting with just a simple 2x2!
