Double Eleven has released Rust Update 1.62, which ushers in the game’s highly-anticipated Easter event while also addressing several in-game issues. The Rust March 30 patch notes detail an extensive list of changes, including some fixes that are still being tested and slated for release in an April hotfix.
Two of the most critical issues that Double Eleven is working to resolve in the near future include the heavy armor glitch and the invisible bases problem. In the meantime, Rust Update 1.62 brings a slew of improvements and additions to the game.
The Easter event, running from April 6 to 27, will feature an Easter egg hunt that occurs every 24-38 in-game hours. Players can gather eggs that can be upgraded from bronze to silver and ultimately gold. These eggs can be cracked open to reveal various loot, from scrap to high-tier weapons. To help players hunt for eggs, the developers have introduced the Egg Basket. Additionally, Bunny Onesie and Bunny Ears costume items are available exclusively during the event.
Below you can find the complete patch notes:
