History VideoGame / Rust

* MouthFlap: Whenever players speak through their microphones.
* NoPlotNoProblem: ''Rust'' stands out among the many ''DayZ''-like games on Steam in that it feels no need to explain the game world or why it is the way it is, without even the usual perfunctory "Zombie apocalypse, go out there and kill stuff". You're simply dropped into the wilderness naked and are expected to progress at your own pace from caveman to hunter-gatherer to modern survivalist[=/=]U.S. Marine.

* ImpossibleItemDrop: This is obviously just an alpha place holder, but no matter what animal you kill: wolf, deer, boar or bear? They all drop ''human'' meat. Only Chickens drop a different meat.

''Rust'' is a first-person, multiplayer-only, persistant-world, SurvivalSandbox game. Perhaps unsurprisingly from that description, it started (by the creators' admission) as a ''VideoGame/DayZ'' clone, complete with zombies. It's developed into its own thing, though. Rather, maybe one should say it is develop''ing'' into its own thing; even though {{Steam}} "Early Access" sales have made it one of the most popular indie games around, its makers consider it to still be in an ''early alpha'' stage.

** There have been a lot of angry accusations made against Chinese players who are said to be "going around and having fun with killing anyone who is NOT Chinese".

* FromClonesToGenre: Well, so far Rust, ''VideoGame/TheForest'', and ''VideoGame/TheStompingLand'' are really the only well known "clones" of ''VideoGame/DayZ'' that aren't outright ''copyright violations'', but it already looks like there's a new genre in the process...

In ''Rust'', you start alone and naked in a vast wilderness (Seriously. [[NintendoHard Bare-ass naked.]] Depending on the server, you might not get ''[[NintendoHard anything]].''), doing whatever it takes to survive. Aside from killer bears and wolves wanting to eat you, cold, starvation, and radiation will all kill you. You need to gather materials, craft them into tools, and hopefully scavenge some weapons; then you can make fire to keep warm and cook the game you kill.

Then you will probably get murdered, because everyone else in the game world is on the knife edge of survival too, and they want your stuff.

* VideoGamePerversityPotential: Thanks to the option of being butt naked and the alpha stage of the game, players have become quite creative with the bodies. An example is reenacting ''Film/TheHumanCentipede''.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ... you can also be an absolute ''asshole'' to people. From picking you off at a distance for no reason, holding you up for your items and then killing you anyway, or finding yourself waking up in the middle of nowhere instead of where you signed off safely ''because your shelter just got ruined, all your hard-earned stuff taken away and your respawn point destroyed.''

* FinalDeath: Watch out!

* VideoGameCaringPotential: If there was ever a game where you could honestly help people out, this is definitely one. From simple things as killing azombie chasing you or handing a newbie some clothes or a hatchet. Any measure of help can be provided. That being said however...

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: By reputation at least, it's basically ''Literature/LordOfTheFlies'': The video game.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Inverted, since it's [[DoubleStandard male frontal nudity]], but yeah-- you start balls-out naked, and that's about what half the internet knows about the game. There's a mosaic by default, but it can be disabled. Pants are a highly treasured bit of loot.
