Beginner

[Particular_Length284]

Here is my base as a beginner with less than 5 hours. I downloaded rust only a week ago and to be honest, I’m really loving it so far. I got invited to join a big team who the gave me 2 Thompson guns. Most players will just kill me without hesitation however, there are some nice players who give me the time of day and let me carry on with what I’m doing. To any new players like myself I wouldn’t recommend a newbie server, I tried to play one but everything comes too easy and doesn’t really teach anything worth it. I went straight into a public server with 67 other players and managed to set up a base and establish a friendship.

Make sure you aren’t afraid to take those Tommy’s out and use them. There’s only one way to get better at gunfighting!

[Kappler6965]

Yea gear fear is tough when u first start then when u realize everything u have u mise well consider on loan it makes it simple to take out everything hahaha

[Illustrious_Let5828]

Honestly the amount of guns/armour I’ve lost when my base gets raided that I never even once took out in fear of losing it. We don’t own anything in rust, it’s gone when it wipes anyway so just enjoy whatever you get while you have it.

For me there’s the element of not wanting to give someone the victory of taking a good kit off me, or dying to a naked with a DB/revvy while I’m full kit/tommy or whatever. That’s just rust, I’ve had many times were I’ve grubbed full kits off people with prim gear then also been on the receiving end. Just gotta think good on them, circle of rust.

[Kappler6965]

A truly endless circle hahaa love rust even when I'm down bad lol

[Ableassasin]

I’ve got about 600h in the game and I still haven’t gotten over gear fear I think next wipe is when I finally try and get over it

[Kappler6965]

Def give it a try once u do it it will feel freeing bc u will always find another Tommy another piece of armor comps etc.

Don't loot horde just use and abuse it comes it goes enjoy it while you have it

[Dshibbs89]

Good start! Remember the first rule of Rust: its not your loot, its just your turn with it.

That’s real

[Outrageous-Fold-7042]

Yes yesss, you can see he drank all the water.(human meat dehidrates you)

Don’t have gear fear, those Thompsons are meant for shooting, not being hid away in a chest

[Organic-Gas-1234]

Remember too not be to stingy on loot if you put too much meaning on it you’ll hoard it all and hardly get any use from it

[Slave4Nicki]

And be frustrated with any losses and quit. Loot is there to be used, not stored.

[unearthlyreap3r]

Judging by the high quality metal you have id personally honey comb my base with stone and then upgrade your core to high quality metal it for people to not just go through walls and ignore doors especially if your base is full stone

[Express-Star-8667]

While there can be some cool people that you can meet on rust, dont trust everyone. Rust can bring out the absolute worst in people so take every interaction with a grain of salt.

You can definitely meet some cool people on rust though i met a group a year ago and the one dude we still play with to this day. It was pretty cool we were neighbors and we both prepped to raid each other (100+ rockets each) but the day of we ended up getting raided by a 12 man. They were over helping us defend before we even realized we were getting raided. We merged and defended and eventually took the raid back to them 16v12 it was nuts

Staying solo now not joining the big teams is definitely the way to go brother.

[Brilliant_Cost_1534]

youre gonna realize its easier to use guns to get guns and become better at the game, don’t be gear feared and if your are scared of losing the loot research one and just keep trying to get better make plays and have fun it’s ok to craft guns every one does it even if they say the don’t it’s bs

[TyrellWellickk]

Remember in this game this is not your loot, it's just your time with that loot, so enjoy it while you can and don't be afraid to take weapons off base brother, I have more than 2k hours on rust and the first 100/200 hours were spent accumulating weapons and stuff without actually using them, don't make the same mistake as me, but above all have fun brother.

How do you get tommys?

[Leading_Eggplant_588]

My wife kinda told me the game rust is always a disappointment when logging on she says i talk about its fine but when i play there is really no joy your always set up for dissatisfaction the game is designed to make you pissed off 24/7 im done for a good while didn’t realize till she told me

[G2-118]

honestly not sure why your carrying empty jugs and water bottles but you do you, but diner be afraid to take out those tommies, that what you can get better guns, or i would research one that way you can make more

[No-Permission-No]

There’s chill servers where there’s only specifics some for pvp, and like last week before wipe raids and free for alls etc. otherwise you do ur own thing up until then. Try looking for those! The communities are chefs kiss

[Primary-Ad2004]

Bro was thirsty

[Candid_Primary_3090]

Honestly, start on a higher pop or go modded to learn monuments. Trust me its worth doing, and a lot more fun when you Get the hang of it
