FANCYORB'S GLOBAL WARFARE

As some of you may know, these masterpieces take some time. In case you missed it here's the absolute cinema of the Global Warfare 2 event. We draw attention to this also because Global Warfare 3 is coming this summer! Keep an eye out on FancyOrb's Socials for info and exact dates and how to sign up!

RUST BATTLE MURAL PAINTING

Monstera brings us another incredible painting. This time, it is a giant mural that spans across 2 walls. We present: The BattleMural

Here's the progress video. Enjoy!

RUST TRAILER PARK

If you haven't heard of Benjamin Plays Rust yet I encourage you to subscribe! You will not be disappointed. He and his brother make these wild trailer parks and junk towns, usually on pure vanilla servers. The level of creativity used here is quite impressive!

SAVE THE DATE - TWITCH DROPS!

June 25th - July 2nd

The Bellum Spanish Twitch event is right around the corner. This event does come with Twitch drops! Make sure you are synced up at https://twitch.facepunch.com/connect and be ready!

JUNGLE PSY OPS BASE

Psychological warfare at its finest. Brain boxes, spy pods, and mass confusion. ...and a Joey

LIFE SIZE REPLICAS

Lone_Design spent what seems like the last 2 weeks making life size Rust replicas. Built a large wood box from scratch and a shotgun trap to protect it. Hit up his X account to see the progression!

WARHAMMER 40,0000 & RUST CROSSOVER

Survival is no longer enough - now, there is only sacrifice in the name of duty.

Facepunch Studios is very excited to announce a landmark collaboration in the form of a new crossover: Warhammer 40,000 is officially coming to Rust! In this alliance with Warhammer, Facepunch will bring the grimdark future of the 41st millennium to the most played survival game on Steam. Players will soon be able to equip iconic Warhammer 40,000-themed cosmetic skins to their character, in their base, and with their crafted weapons, providing a unique but also fitting take on the hazmat and more items with a Death Korps of Krieg Pack - showcasing a perfect synergy of Rust’s dark brutality, and the Krieg’s unrelenting fanatical nature and aesthetic. This crossover marks a first-of-its-kind partnership for Rust, blending the harsh, online sandbox-survival sensation that is Rust, with one of the most renowned sci-fi franchises in the world. Catch the full showcase here!
