While Rust has a high degree of freedom,
If a beginner acts without knowing anything, it is a game that can lead to immediate loss.
“I was just playing normally, but my base disappeared”
“I was suddenly banned”
“I couldn’t do anything so I quit”
Many of these cases are caused by
dangerous behavior typical of beginners.
In this article, we will summarize dangerous actions that Rust beginners tend to do, with reasons and countermeasures.
Why Rust beginners engage in risky behavior
- Lack of in-game tutorial
- Other players are basically enemies
- Many implicit rules/server rules
- The information gap is extremely large
In Rust, it is safer to think that
Not knowing = being targeted/losing.
Dangerous behaviors that Rust beginners tend to do
Build a base appropriately
This is a very common failure example.
- Build along the coast or road
- Places that can be seen from high places
- Right next to resource area
These are
typical examples of bases that are prone to being raided.
Poor management of doors and keys
- Leave the wooden door as is
- Forget to lock the door
- Code lock not used
The beginner base is
the first target.
Act with all equipment
- Always fully equipped with valuable equipment
- Not considering the loss at the time of death
In Rust,
Death = total loss is the basic.
Do not check server rules
- Teaming on a solo-only server
- Used on macro-disallowed servers
- Violation of chat rules
This means that
Even beginners will be subject to immediate punishment.
Use safe external tools
- Recoil control aid
- Visibility improvement tools
- Macro
In Rust,
External tools = high ban risk.
Keep wandering around the initial spawn point
- Become a target of initial equipment hunting
- Easy to be attracted to experienced people
The basic idea is to leave early.
Safety actions that Rust beginners should be aware of
- Based in a hidden location
- Take the minimum amount of equipment with you
- Read server rules first
- Do not use external tools
- Act with the assumption that you can afford to lose
Rust is a game in which
the more cautious you are, the longer you survive.
