Easter 2025
- The Easter hunt runs from 10 to 24 April 2025, with an egg hunt starting every 24 to 38 in game hours.
- Each hunt lasts 3 minutes, and the top three collectors get special eggs that crack open for loot from scrap up to an M249.
- Ten painted eggs trade up to a bronze egg, ten bronze to silver, and on to gold, so players outside the top three still gain.
- The Easter Basket gives instant egg pickup, while the Bunny Onesie and Bunny Ears grant egg vision.
- Store items for a limited time: a three variant Horse costume, the returning Chicken costume and an aquatic Cargo Rustige Egg.

EASTER HUNT
April 10th - April 24th, 2025
Starting today, every 24-38 in-game hours an Easter egg hunt will begin. You'll have 3 minutes to collect as many eggs as you can. The top 3 players are given special eggs as a reward. These eggs can be cracked open for various types of loot ranging from scrap all the way up to an M249
If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The painted eggs you collect can be upgraded to Bronze eggs once you collect 10. If you collect 10 bronze eggs then you can upgrade to a silver egg, eventually all the way to gold!
There are various items available to help you during your hunt. The Easter Basket will allow instant pickup of eggs and the Bunny Onesie and Ears will provide you with an advantage via Egg Vision.

This year, we've added a new costume DLC attire, the Horse costume! The Horse costume is a lower body wearable item which can be crafted with cloth and wood.
The Horse costume comes in three variants and is only available for a limited time on the Rust item store.

Questions
Does the Easter 2025 update wipe servers?
This event post landed on Thursday 10 April 2025, outside the first Thursday monthly cycle, so it did not force a map wipe. The post does not mention a blueprint wipe.

Who does this update matter for?
Anyone still playing the April wipe, since eggs are free loot that can reach an M249, and solo players especially benefit from the basket and egg vision gear.
