I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported the Rust all these years. Hard to believe we're at where we're at. Excited for what 2021 will bring!

If the team system is really that crappy and doesn't add something significantly good to the game it will be reworked or possibly removed or left for consoles only but we can't not add or try things because of caps lock reeeeeing! so please try it before you judge!

Sorry guys, we're going to delay the patch until tomorrow. There are some balancing issues with puzzles that result in players getting less loot overall rather than more. We can only change this during a wipe so better to wait a day than have a month of crap loot

Frogboots as an EA reward is a funny idea, the problem is it would have to be a skin for the burlap shoes or something so that we didn't have decked out geared guys with AKs and.. frog boots
