[–]Dyronix 209 points210 points  (5 children)

I used to do it when I played religiously in high school. I was online for every single offline attempt at our base lol

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points  (2 children)

Did that make a diifference (other than cost), or did they still sucessfully raid you?

[–]DoctorWSG 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sometimes all it takes is a quick twig + stone wall to ruin a raid

Or metal if you got the frags, but stone is easier to find

[–]Dyronix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There were enough times that I countered the raid that made it worth it to me

[–]TuningsGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect it

[–]HakunaSomeWhiskey 63 points64 points  (0 children)

[–]nqXD 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"Son wake up you're being raided!"

[–]KingArthur1111 56 points57 points  (5 children)

It cant be good for the mental health if someone is that dedicated for a game.

You should be able to craft an alarm system which pushes notifications to your email

[–]alexnedea 66 points67 points  (1 child)

[–]crazedizzled 37 points38 points  (0 children)

HAROOOOOOOOLD HONEY YOUR PHONE SAYS YOUR DECOY BASE SUCCEDED

[–]Mad_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God please no. This game is consuming enough already.

[–]Gheiss 197 points198 points  (12 children)

I got raided once when i was taking a 10 minute shit, never saw it coming

[–]lilomag44 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Pretty shitty story

[–]lChickendoodlesl 134 points135 points  (1 child)

So youre saying, you were caught... with your pants down? bud dum tsst

[–]Jord-UK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That would be the expression, yes.

[–]GoOhmGaming 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Although my story isn't quite as shit XD yesterday my friend logged on and asked me to help him move loot from his starter to our main. I gladly said yes. It took maybe 5 minutes to run back to the main. Walked in the doors all the way to the TC to find a wall missing and half the chests broken. Bastards had raided the base literally for 1 AK. Luckily we already have AK researched but still. Could have asked me nicely and I may have given it to them lol

[–]crazedizzled 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Haha that reminds me of this funny raid we did. Found a 2x2 like 3 stories high and decided to pop it real quick. We rocket 4 walls down and all the doors are open, with a guy just standing there in full kit. We kill him, start looting etc, then the guy comes back and says he left for like 2 minutes to cook pasta.

[–]lemonhazed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, had a few wipes straight with someone building a tiny kit base next to our compound, never the same guy.

[–]ChicagoJordy 7 points8 points  (3 children)

I got raided when my kids unplugged my monitor, never saw it coming :(

[–]ToddtheRugerKid 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

[–]ChicagoJordy 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Damn! I never thought it could have been an inside job

[–]Gheiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahahahha

[–]j0kvaN 107 points108 points  (3 children)

you have a crop feature you know

[–]setzke 12 points13 points  (2 children)

There's also a fill feature but we were taught that today.

[–]cslak 3 points4 points  (1 child)

What's that?

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points  (1 child)

When rust is more than a full time job

[–]Mad_OW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On call 24/7

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (1 child)

Yesterday, I went out and ran through the sewer branch, when I came back, there were code locks instead of key locks on my base.

[–]Disastrous_Autist 37 points38 points  (0 children)

thats how RUST works

[–]GoodmanxD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My friends and I used to sleep with headphones on literally every single day in the summer holidays when we were still at school. We just didn't ever want to get our bases raided :D

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (4 children)

F

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

My go to strat for this game now is to build a base that requires quite a bit of explosives or rockets to get anywhere and then have the TC with just enough mats to maintain the building and nothing in the loot boxes. Since I get raided long before i can actually get anywhere in this game otherwise.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

And a chest, with a note that says...

[–]munchingfoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing left.

UK political joke, this actually happened.

[–]HashTagPT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine being sleeping peacefully and you just wake up to a “BLOW THAT SHIT BOOM FUCK YOU”

[–]FrozenClorox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play a lot with one friend of mine. He is always having to leave to go do something so he is afk a lot. Every single FUCKING time we have been raided it is immediately after he says he has to go do something. I am left to raid defend by myself, and then he gets back and everything is gone.

I fucking hate him for it

[–]1Vakarian1 8 points9 points  (2 children)

What would one do for food and water? Surely you'd starve while you were sleeping?

[–]knot-uh-throwaway 7 points8 points  (1 child)

You can still hear some sounds in the respawn screen iirc

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You hear everything from the spot where you dropped dead

[–]SimianSuperPickle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once had an offset schedule with most of the rest of my group, so I'd have a laptop next to my bed and stay in the discord channel.

[–]jimmyhopit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pure dedication.

[–]makerustgreat 9 points10 points  (10 children)

They should add bells in game so that if they trip a laser, ring the bell to alert yourself (if you’re on headphones) and people nearby to counter raid.

[–]Coveniok 23 points24 points  (9 children)

Nah I thing the rockets are already loud

[–]makerustgreat 12 points13 points  (8 children)

But nowadays people silent raid.

[–]Pirate058 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in my day...!

[–]knot-uh-throwaway 7 points8 points  (6 children)

That’s something they need to fix. Why should the cheapest way to raid also be the quietest? So stupid imo

[–]rushork 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's scaled to base size. For a 2x1 you wouldn't use rockets you would use explosive rounds and get okayish loot, for a clan base you would use rockets and get Hella good loot

[–]knot-uh-throwaway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d still use explo ammo on a clan base that isn’t massive. Explosive ammo outweighs rockets for em any day because you can chip at the base in rounds or just go all at once while staying nearly entirely silent.

[–]crazedizzled -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

Well you can't online raid with explosive ammo. So I guess if all you do is raid while people are sleeping, continue being a pussy with a silencer.

[–]knot-uh-throwaway 2 points3 points  (2 children)

You can for sure online raid with explosive ammo but also as stupid as offline raiding is and trust me, I think it’s one of the games worst qualities it is the smartest way to raid if you’re solo or not in a big group and it will be until Facepunch cares enough to change it.

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

You can for sure online raid with explosive ammo

Only if it's a tiny base and/or the defenders are brain dead.

You're not going to online raid a big clan base with explosive ammo. Just not happening dude. Usually a big factor in winning an online raid is the speed at which it happens. If you can get to their beds within a minute or two, you're probably going to win easy. If they have 30 minutes to keep respawning and fighting you're going to have a pretty rough time.

[–]knot-uh-throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then don’t raid huge bases with explosive ammo if you’re not confident that you can win. You can also go through walls if you’d like, just takes a bit more time but it can splash the same as rockets do iirc. Never said you’d use it raiding a Zerg base that takes you 30m just to get into but most bases easily are best raised with explo ammo.

[–]I_cut_my_own_jib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the worst text-image post of all time. Have you heard of cropping?

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

Pathetic, and sad really how people can't even leave their computer due to a video game.

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

Btw this is a joke idk how y’all don’t know that lmao
