Ships storm bastions in Rust

The MMO shooter about heroes surviving after the apocalypse has taken on a pirate romance — now you can build sailing ships of various sizes, mount cannons on board, and sail the waves, while boarding enemy vessels and storming enemy bases on shore. Additionally, in Rust, there's the ability to visit floating settlements where heroes rest and resupply, as well as discover tropical islands and battle NPCs on the decks of ghostly cruise ships. What else have the developers at Facepunch Studios prepared for gamers?

The game world continues to develop not only on land, where a jungle location recently appeared, but also on the water's surface. But for exploring the seas, you'll need a team of reliable comrades. First, it's easier to build a ship together, installing homemade sails, a helm, and a power unit, attaching an anchor on a chain to one side and a ramp to the other. Additionally, artillery will come in handy. And all these components will need someone to maintain them. And if you decide to explore an island or go ashore for an extended expedition, a steering wheel lock will serve you well — it will make it difficult for a thief to steal your watercraft.

During sea voyages, heroes face numerous dangers, including storms. Here, you might encounter a guarded ghost ship. If you manage to defeat the guards, you'll gain access to chests of loot, but other teams will also be after these trophies — you'll have to act quickly. You'll also be able to visit one of the floating cities, where brisk trade is conducted, resupply centers are open, and even a casino. These are peaceful zones — shooting is prohibited here. But you can fight with rivals over tropical islands. By capturing such a piece of land, you're free to equip it with a base capable of withstanding an attack from an entire fleet of pirates.
