What Is The Rust: Console Edition Server Wipe?

To keep things fair in Rust, the Console Edition not only has weekly wipes but monthly ones too. On the final Thursday of each month, the developers completely reset the official Rust: Console Edition servers to keep all players on a level playing field.

The exact type of server wipe is often random, with some including a complete reset of player blueprints. As well as aiming to keep things fair for all players, server wipes also ensure the continued stability of the game.

What Time Is The Rust: Console Edition Server Wipe Today? (May 26)

As confirmed via the official Rust: Console Edition Twitter account, the next monthly wipe will take place on Thursday, May 26th, 2022. The Rust: Console Edition servers will enter maintenance at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 5PM UTC / 6PM BST, followed by the monthly wipe 1 hour later at 11AM PT / 2PM ET / 6PM UTC / 7PM BST.

The developers also confirmed that the brand new 'Deadly Catch' update would be released along with the monthly wipe. To give fans enough time to download the latest patch before the monthly wipe, today's update will be deployed at the beginning of the server maintenance, 1 hour before the wipe occurs.
