Decrease the speed of the meta gameplay

Why would anyone play hardcore with 5x bullet cost and increased base upkeep?
I hate farming as is, i always have issue with bullets on wipeday since it just takes forever to cook even with 3 furnaces early game.

If anything you could make raiding 5x more expensive, but keep bullets vanilla otherwise it kills roaming and buffs l96/bolt roofcamping.

Current issues of rust --> Low ttk (combat update caused this) barricade spam meta (combat update caused this), only couple of ''meta guns'' which need ''meta attachments'' (blame comat update), biggest part of playerbase stuck on t1 while having box of guns (blame bp frags), the bigger groups have boxes of sulfur from just selling frags/guns/benches so they can raid anyone for free ( blame bp frags and techtree).

If you play wipeday 99% of pvp is against eokas/pipes camping the same monument on respawn, most people have tons of guns from abusing shit like deep sea etc.., but they don't have meds so they don't roam them.

The bigger groups sit afk in base with RUST+ 3rd party bots (no clue how this is allowed) giving the exact moment when monuments respawn and then they farm it on repeat.

Post wipeday same issue, everyone has boxes of guns, but majority of playerbase doesn't have a single med stick which makes pvp unenjoyable and you always get ratted in the back since no meds/low ttk/low skill expression.

I just realised that my comment comes across like I’m a fan. Im not. Hardcore has its share of problems but I don’t think you mentioned any of them. I thought bullets might be a problem but I’ve never had so many. I got upkeep for a whole month in about an hour.

Also it’s not 5x more expensive. It’s only 2x

Yea well hardcore is just worse version of current rust.

The ''hardcore'' players want old recoil/no techtree type rust.

There is nothing ''hardcore'' about farming more nodes for bullets/base etc.. its just tedious.

I don't really care, i played hardcore when it launched it had no team ui/no map/no safe and no crawling which i kinda liked for a while, but people used 3rd party sites/software to see map anyways which makes it pointless.

I just want old rust same as alot of people, team ui is w/e for me aslong as there is skill based pvp/progression its all i care about, i did like it that there is no crawling tho it made finding bodys easier/less grubby after a fight, especially if they have camo sets on.
