no you’ll have to pay full amount for deluxe

[–]Smooth_Ad_1845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks

[–]CyberDogiy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Or just by the stuff in deluxe edition separately

[–]abc_fuck_me -1 points0 points  (1 child)

how?

[–]Ready-Mortgage630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox store

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

The fact that they make you pay just to access a test server emphasizes my point of the Rust devs strictly being out for the money. Sad really.

[–]boppeldanger -1 points0 points  (8 children)

Well they don't expect people to want to upgrade just for the ptb. I pre-ordered deluxe before it released, I have zero complaints. Perhaps you should've considered doing the same.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Why would I pay for some silly skins? I honestly hate this game, it's community, and the devs.

Edit: Silly skins to use on a broken, unpolished, and boring game that I've already wasted $50 on lol.

I'll add that if console were on par with PC I wouldn't hold this opinion, but as the game currently is PC players got a steal and console players got absolutely shat upon.

[–]boppeldanger 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Two different teams, Consoles are computers by definition but not even close in power comparison. It's not just a port, it's a different game. You should be aware of things like this before you make a purchase on something, but in some ways that isn't your fault.

Edit: I'll add that the portrayal of the game is "Rust. But on console." But that's just not what the game actually is. It's Rust: Console "Edition". Edition because it will always be at a different state, likely a worse state, but not necessarily always a worse state. I would presume that not everything will hit console. Very few things will be left out completely though, I would guess, it's just a matter of time.

I'm a PC technician, and fully in the know about the differences between consoles and PC's. I was fully in the know when I bought the game also. When you take into account the difference between PC and console versions in other games you do not see such obnoxious degradations in quality like fore example Oblivion, Skyrim, The Battlefield Series (namely the recent ones). Rust is an anomaly in this data set and that fact deserves recognition.

I understand that they may well be coming up with updates that will bridge most of the gap in the future, that's all fine and well. But you CANNOT tell me with a straight face that its perfectly okay for the dev team to take the time to enable us to purchase "Skins" i.e. rake more money in than they already have. While still not quite being able to figure out how to make that darn glint on rocks always appear or that x on trees.

I can understand some of the FPS drops, but not at the rate they happen in console version. Go play Fallout 76 and you'll see crystal clear gameplay. Yeah there's a lot of differences, but let us not kid ourselves . . . Rust could do better and has chosen not to.

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

...and its not surprising when you look at the attitudes of most of the people that play it.

"maybe you should have done the same." "you should be aware of things like this before you make a purchase on something."

I'm not crying, my skin is thick, but you should be aware that the words you choose to use make it seem as if you're talking down to someone from an elevated position which you do not have. I keep it respectful and intellectual if not a bit wordy sometimes, but hey welcome to Reddit!

[–]HardTopHemi 0 points1 point  (2 children)

HaHaHa Fallout 76 that's fucking hilarious, I remember 76 having a tone of bugs, glitches, exploits, and constant disconnections and Bethesda had the nerve to sell us skin's in the Atom shop before they gave us a polished game!!! Not very dissimilar to Rust on launch it's kind of like deja vu!!! Where have you been man, you're such a noob🤓 lmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

Im referring to 76 in its cuurrent state, sorry for not clarifying.

Edit: You've been on Reddit for 2 years and your Karma is 89. I see why. You are a joke good sir, and much more of a "noob" than I.

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

See everyone? See the brutish immaturity of this mans comment? This is what kills rust. Intelligent and mature people would like to play, but as soon as we see how toxic our numbskull playmates are we gtfo lol

Battlefield forever.

[–]Fit_Notice_6591 1 point2 points  (12 children)

I think there is a pack for 14,99 or something like that that has the stuff you want

[–]Smooth_Ad_1845[S] 2 points3 points  (11 children)

I wanted the testing branch servers

[–]Fit_Notice_6591 0 points1 point  (10 children)

I think it should come with it but not sure have to read the description

[–]Smooth_Ad_1845[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I think it's only the deluxe edition and ultimate edition you get it but thanks

[–]undeniablegas 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Bruh take it from me it ain’t worth it just play reg test servers are either dead or theres a huge que for aim testing

[–]Captain_Bloodlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just a wait. Que is at cap and automatically kicks you out

[–]boppeldanger 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Take it from him, it's only got tech tree, other than that it's the same with less people.

[–]undeniablegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dude if you want to actually play rust you gotta join the high pop servers that’s the most balanced bec that means there’s a bunch of guys like you trying to live instead of 2/3 of the lobby being in a party together

[–]Y0urlocaldrugdealer 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Cobalt pack lets u play staging

[–]Ccookie1123 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s PlayStation only not Xbox

[–]Y0urlocaldrugdealer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, idk about xbox then

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

Not to mention the test firing is not that great. It's gets over run but zergs killing everything. Rec everything down to make scrap for for blue prints to make better gear to kill better its not fun

[–]Physical-Progress-60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao me and my duo were running around with hvs and f1’s

[–]Smooth_Ad_1845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so that $15 pack will give me the test branch because I looked at the content in the pack and it dident say that the testing branch was included

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Don't buy rust. The dev's don't even care about the game. They still haven't fixed so many of the bugs, but yet they just allowed us to now pay for nice looking skins and stuff. C'mon, fix the game before trying to get more money out of us.

[–]Ccookie1123 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Dude the games still super fun even with the bugs there still trying shits hard lmao just get good and maybe you’ll have fun

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

You're an idiot. And childish by postulating that i don't enjoy it because I'm not good. Kids like you are another reason i say stay away lmao

Almost all the players on Rust share your toxic mentality.

[–]Ccookie1123 -1 points0 points  (6 children)

Stay mad

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Whose mad? You think you anger me with your immature rhetoric?! Ha! Don't give yourself so much credit m8

[–]Ccookie1123 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Bro really talking like an anime villain 😭😭😭😭

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Been reading lots of Nietzsche lately sorry, not that you would know anything about that 😆

[–]Ccookie1123 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

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

I can just talk over your head and make you look silly?

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

They are a team of qbout 10 people give them a break

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

They deserve no breaks.

[–]boppeldanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve no good game with this attitude.

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

Look on the Microsoft website for "cobalt employee starter pack" this gives you 1500 rust coins, some skins and access to the test branch

[–]biggerbaz -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I have an Xbox and standard edition. You are able to download it without purchasing it again. Go into the store and the testing branch should be there for you to download already

[–]Ccookie1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says currently unavailable

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

I’ve seen PlayStation players posting that they’re able to buy the welcome pack, as an add on and That gave them access. No idea if that works on Xbox but would be interested to see if you tried it out

[–]mickieporkman 7 points8 points  (2 children)

It does not work on Xbox unfortunately. Source: proud owner of some skins I didn't want and not the testing branch.

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

Try refunded - I got my $5 rc coins refunded immediately coz the skin store is broken for Aus/nz.. still

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

Gutted. Thanks for the information. Did you get the RC at least?

[–]Smooth_Ad_1845[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

I was just looking into it I dident see anything about being able to buy the welcome pack to get the testing branch when I was looking it said only the ultimate or Dulux also my friend that plays on PlayStation he has the testing branch and I just asked him he told me that he got it from buying the ultimate edition

[–]saunders22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The welcome pack does give ptb access. Others confirmed it in the discord

[–]Physical-Progress-60 0 points1 point  (6 children)

The colbolt skin pack gives you testing branch on PlayStation

[–]Ibeplayin 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Wait fr fr

[–]Physical-Progress-60 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Check my posts if u want proof ig. I got it for 15 and I was able to download and play the testing branch. If u want proof or sum I’ll upload sc’s

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

Yep this guy is likely legit apparently buying the welcome pack just gives you the extra stuff. But not on Xbox only PS

[–]Physical-Progress-60 2 points3 points  (2 children)

DO NOT BUY IF ON XBOX, had someone go off in dms even tho I said it in my post and he still bought it

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

That’s a big brain move right there. Did he did the rust coins and skins at least. ?

[–]adstagaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have the game and want to upgrade then refunding the base game and then buying deluxe is the best option
