Rust’s latest Community Update 265 is packed with cool stuff that’s got me talking! From a Warhammer 40,000 crossover to Twitch drops and some awe-inspiring fan art, it’s clear the community and developers are keeping things fresh and wild. Let’s break down what’s new and what you can’t miss.
FancyOrb’s Global Warfare Event
If you missed Global Warfare 2, don’t worry — a cinematic recap is pretty epic. FancyOrb’s work always stands out, and the hype is real because Global Warfare 3 is heading our way this summer! You’ll want to watch this and maybe prepare to sign up. Keep an eye on FancyOrb’s socials for the deets.
Rust Battle Mural Painting
Artist Monstera dropped a giant mural spanning two walls — and it’s absolutely great. Watching the progress video is kinda mesmerizing; you see the magic happen step-by-step. If you love seeing creativity in Rust, this one’s for you.
Rust Trailer Park Madness
Ever heard of Benjamin Plays Rust? If not, go subscribe now! This guy and his brother build wild trailer parks and junk towns on vanilla servers, and their creativity is improved. I was honestly impressed watching their builds come together. You’ll find inspiration and maybe some laughs too.
Twitch Drops Incoming!
remember for June 25th to July 2nd because the Bellum Spanish Twitch event is about to kick off — and it comes with Twitch drops! Make sure you’re linked up at https://twitch.facepunch.com/connect so you don’t miss out on free goodies while watching.
Jungle Psy Ops Base
Here’s some psychological warfare for you — spy pods, brain boxes, and a ton of confusion wrapped up in a jungle base. Oh, and there’s a Joey in there too. The video is wild and kinda funny. Check it out if you want some base-building inspiration with a twist.
Life-Size Rust Replicas
Lone_Design spent weeks crafting life-size Rust replicas, including a large wooden box and a shotgun trap to protect it. The dedication here is wild — you can see the whole process on his X account. These builds blur the line between game and reality.
Warhammer 40,000 x Rust Crossover
Okay, this one’s huge. Facepunch Studios is teaming up with Warhammer 40,000 to bring a grimdark twist to Rust! Soon you’ll be able to deck out your character, base, and weapons with Warhammer-themed skins — including the Death Korps of Krieg pack. It fits Rust’s brutal vibe perfectly, mixing survival with a fanatical sci-fi edge.
This crossover is a first for Rust, blending its harsh survival gameplay with one of sci-fi’s most iconic universes. If you’ve ever wondered how Rust would feel with a 41st millennium makeover, your wait is almost over.
