New RUST “Primitive” gamemode is here!
In the new RUST update, the developers are taking a detour into a kind of “modern Middle Ages”. No firearms, but scavenged medieval weapons and lots of chaos provide a new gameplay experience in the new “Primitive” game mode.

RUST like never before
Normally players in RUST try to get their hands on powerful firearms as quickly as possible at the start of the game, but what if they didn't exist and you had to rely on “primitive” weapons?
That's exactly what the new “Primitive” gamemode does. Modern firearms have disappeared. Instead, you use a sword, shield and crossbow and go into direct confrontation.
Together with cool siege weapons such as a battering ram, siege tower or catapult, RUST feels completely different to what you are used to. So let's go into battle!
