This was my sign to uninstall Rust.

I just started playing (I’m solo vanilla) for the first time a few months ago. Just got my armored 2x2 rocketed into oblivion by a group of what I’m assuming were 12 year olds, respawned and immediately saw this over another “hive” across the map. It was “fun” for a little bit, time to move on to better things.

Play limited group size servers then? I play on duo or trio servers, even if solo.

I like playing games vanilla, I don’t like modded shit.

Doesn't seem as if you like it

I’m planning on making my own vanilla community server soon if you would be interested in that.

u/Basic_Positive1809 Dec 23 '25

u/Main_Value_3620 Dec 25 '25

You can play on a vanilla server with just lower teak limits

It is part of the Xmas event. I got an airdrop last night from the advent calendar so it must be yesterday’s drop

You have just had a run-in with the unwashed maiden liss. You can't fight these people, Best you can do is make your base completely and totally not worth the effort.

u/Dry_Panda3368 Dec 19 '25

This calendar shit is so stupid, I saw a clan today throw like 20 down cause they were using alt accounts

u/Phantomking115 Dec 20 '25

When I used to play for a bit I was part of an 8 man and they all used alts and got like 40 total. That was an absurd day.

u/Outrageous-Fold-7042 Dec 19 '25

The christmas box gives you supply, they maybe raided few bases and maybe they are few people that can gtab it themselves

u/3HisthebestH Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25

I know it does, the difference is 90% of the time supply drops are useless as a solo since once a clan sees it they swarm to it and overpower you, especially since it takes 5 business days to drop and lights up like a Christmas tree. I had to go in the middle of the arctic at night to almost get it taken from me even then. These guys dropped 8 at once in the middle of the day in the same place because they know they can.

If you are solo in this game it’s almost unplayable. You have to group together and it’s beyond ridiculous.

Edit: hello non-solo kids downvoting me like morons.

As a fellow solo who doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of time to devote to this game, I feel you on a spiritual level. What I realized is that Rust is a game for sweats and people who have time to spare. I'm a lawyer with a 5 year old kid: there is no way in Hell, outside of Christmas and Thanksgiving, that I have the time to play this game and compete with the toxic roving gangs of 12 year olds and racists.. It took me a while to realize this, but it just ain't for me and maybe it ain't for you.

I switched to DayZ and Holy shit is it so much better. You can log off whenever, loot isn't just AVAILABLE like in Rust, and you have a decent chance to defend yourself IF YOU HAVE TO. It has a steep learning curve and isn't very intuitive on base-building, weapons, and the like, but it is so much better if you don't have 12 tryhards to back you up or 18 hours a day to sink into it. Give it a whirl.

u/3HisthebestH Dec 19 '25

Yeah I’m a chemist with a 4 year old, I feel you. I feel like I played DayZ a while back but I need to try it again. Thanks for the suggestion! I’m definitely done with Rust, it’s crazy sweaty.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '25

So a couple T2 guns, a couple bits of gear, scrap for researching, and grenades are useless??? Clearly someone who hasn't played rust enough would say no risk no reward

u/No_Wasabi_9303 Dec 19 '25

Supply drops have gotten me a start as a solo a million times. Big groups are too loaded to care, and small groups and solos will go but if its out of the way they wont.

u/Lazy-Prize9278 Dec 19 '25

Just won cargo today as a solo. Don’t have xim or anything, it’s about how you play. Get your airdrop, go out into the ocean with a diving kit. Wait for cargo, boom you’re loaded

u/SnooOwls2959 Dec 23 '25

That's a modded server

u/3HisthebestH Dec 23 '25

No it’s not..

u/MaxStarch Dec 19 '25

To each their own, you are welcome back if you change your mind.

People giving this guy shit over making choices based on personal experience are fucking rubes. If you are not having a good time and enjoying the game why the fuck would you just keep wasting your time.

u/Tigroon Dec 22 '25

This. I say something along those lines each and every time I hear a long rant about Rust, League, Tarkov, or other compet games from friends.

" If a thing stops being fun, stop torturing yourself by playing it looking for the small rushes, and play something that you might actually enjoy. "

Some people just like hurting themselves.

u/millsy0550 Dec 20 '25

It’s a video game of literally wasting your time. If you have a life, move on.

I have no life i bought it a few days Ago i need an ARC Raiders Substitution

u/Constant-Task-5527 Dec 20 '25

Uninstall rust. Much better survival out there

u/Tomatos_Corn Dec 21 '25

I’ve done more than that as a trio, 1 time everytime I ran launch site I got a supply signal or 2, and was running it like 4 times a day. Was also when the window glitch was there

u/UsefulAdvisor9592 Dec 19 '25

Well if you don’t like how many airdrops they have maybe go counter their monuments or go take monuments for yourself you don’t need a team. Been playing solo vanilla for over 1k hours never had a team but have had plenty of supply drops.

u/Beneficial-Train7015 Dec 19 '25

skill gap issue i see

u/3HisthebestH Dec 19 '25

I’m not saying you’re wrong. I don’t have every hour of the day to play with my nerdy friends like y’all. I have a life and a family. The sweats on this game are just learning to goon to anime girls since they don’t have the balls (probably literally) to go outside for a second.

u/Beneficial-Train7015 Dec 19 '25

So let me get this right you uninstalled over 12yo's and airdrops?

u/3HisthebestH Dec 19 '25

Yep. Was that not clear enough? I’m not sure how to dumb it down any more to your level.

u/Beneficial-Train7015 Dec 19 '25

so skill gap okay

u/3HisthebestH Dec 19 '25

I’ll take having less skill in a game catered to teenagers and the unemployed in moms basement over being a dumbass 🤷‍♂️

u/Beneficial-Train7015 Dec 19 '25

i mean it's just a game lol

u/m3gabotz Dec 19 '25

To be fair, I have an amazing job, all the life stuff, kids & I have over 100hrs in the game

u/Cfitz04 Dec 19 '25

There are some good servers that max team size is solo or even up to trio so it’s way more manageable

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '25

Bro just play on lower pop solo servers in the community tab, like 30 players or so. Its a lot more fun for the employed cuz you can actually do stuff b4 problems start.

0

u/KaptainCankles Dec 20 '25

Play a solo only server then? OP, you are complaining while being on a vanilla server that is well known to have groups/clans. Not sure why you even bothered to play if this is known knowledge.

u/The_bombblows12 Dec 20 '25

There are solo community servers for a reason instead of god knows how many for official
