Dates follow Facepunch's fixed cadence (first Thursday of the month, 19:00 UK). Facepunch occasionally shifts a release by a day or an hour — the patch notes at rust.facepunch.com are the final word. Last checked 2026-08-22.

What gets wiped

Map wipe (every server, every force wipe): all bases, loot, deployables and the map seed reset. Blueprint wipe (only when scheduled): learned blueprints reset too, so everyone starts from a rock and a torch. Most weekly and biweekly servers keep blueprints between map wipes and clear them monthly on force wipe day; vanilla "no BP wipe" servers never clear them.

Wipe day, minute by minute

Servers go down when the update lands and come back within 5–30 minutes. Population peaks in the first three hours after a wipe — Wipe Board's hour-by-hour view shows exactly when each server comes back, in your local time, so you can be on the beach when the map opens instead of refreshing the server browser.

Questions

When is the next Rust force wipe?

Thursday 03 September 2026 at 19:00 UK (18:00 UTC / 2 PM ET). Force wipes are always on the first Thursday of the month.

What time does Rust force wipe happen?

19:00 UK time. That is 18:00 UTC during British Summer Time (late March to late October) and 19:00 UTC in winter; 2 PM US Eastern, 11 AM Pacific, 4 AM Friday in Sydney.

Does force wipe reset blueprints?

Only if the server owner has scheduled a BP wipe for that day, or Facepunch announces a global blueprint wipe in the patch notes — which happens only a few times a year.

How often do Rust servers wipe?

At least monthly (force wipe). Most community and modded servers also wipe weekly or biweekly, typically Thursday or Friday evening in the server's own timezone. Wipe Board tracks the declared schedule of 9,000+ servers worldwide.
