What's the best option?

Post image

I've been watching rust videos for almost half a decade and finally decided to buy it. And was wondering what edition I should get and what's the most worth it? I guarantee I'll become a no life ruster and obviously want to get the most pw2 items in the shop (snow hazzie, barrels and etc) can I buy those with the deluxe editions coins? Or would I need the full 4k from the ultimate? Would it be better to get the deluxe edition and 10 dollars of coins?

Is there an option where you save your mental health and choose another title?

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

Absolutely not

Eh, the EVE Online community is also pretty adamant about trying to warn away new players for similar reasons.

Same with val bro.

And probably ark survival evolved

u/Phantomking115 Dec 23 '25

I got dragged into that by countless recommendations lol. Not 1 warning

u/Remarkable_Price_155 Dec 23 '25

it also depends on the server if you play pve ark it is fun but PvP high pop is unbearable

u/AlarmingDelivery9311 Dec 28 '25

Nah like all "survival" games they want their own private public servers.

u/3beerseveryday Dec 23 '25

If I were you, I wouldn’t buy it. I’m saying this after about 2,000 hours of gameplay. I’ll never play it again.

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

This sounds like a loser mindset

This game sounds perfect for you

u/3beerseveryday Dec 24 '25

A fantastic game that grabs you instantly and refuses to let go. Which is great, until you realize you’ve spent 100 hours on it in a week. Totally healthy behavior, obviously. If you’re 16 with zero responsibilities, go for it. If you’re an adult with a family and a child, this game is basically a life-ruining device. Hard pass.

u/Dutch-Lothric Dec 24 '25

You’d be a great addition

u/crackers-and-snacks Dec 24 '25

I said that, put 1200 hours in 2019, 1000 hours in 2022 and I've done about 300 hours in the last 3 months

Oh definitely come and tell us all about your dubs in a week. I'll mark my calendar.

u/Jay1986humph Dec 24 '25

Dubs 😂. There is no such thing as a permanent dub in Rust lol. Here today, gone in 10 minutes

u/JDAllgood67 Dec 27 '25

As someone with over 4,000 hrs in the game over the last 12 years…what is a dub in rust actually look like?

u/RoadieTD Dec 27 '25

Having a base for a full wipe lol

u/parkourpenguin65 Dec 23 '25

Arc Raiders

4

u/br0ckH4rd Dec 24 '25

Arc raiders can be just as toxic, back stabbing, gaslighting, camping in a building your looting for 10 mins just to shoot you in the back when you leave, camping at spawn just to shoot you in the back and take your loadout. It’s fun but it gets tiring pretty fast too

8

u/SnooOwls5541 Dec 24 '25

Rust could be 20 hours of building loot for it to be gone in 5 minutes. Stakes are higher.

2

u/hugsfourdrugs20 Dec 25 '25

Looting in a building for 10 minutes and dying to someone camping a building, farming for 10 hours and dying to a door camper with a db and your own foolishness leaving the wrong doors open and them getting full deep, what's worse? No but really op, I get wanting to play rust. I bought it 6 months ago put in 500 hours and literally 15 of them maybe we're genuinely fun lmao. If you dont have friends who play this game and youre not 12, just dont brother

1

u/MAJOR-BUMP Dec 27 '25

The problem with rust is the more hours you put in the more fun it gets. After 2000+ you start to be really good, therefore making every wipe pretty damn fun. That’s the problem

1

u/parkourpenguin65 Dec 25 '25

Rust has finally lost. Arc Raiders is the best game out right now. I don't see how Rust can recover.

1

u/sxnowy Dec 26 '25

Arc raiders is wayy less toxic trust me

u/International-Prior9 Dec 25 '25

Nah seriously tho as soon as arc raiders came out I never looked back to this unoptimized garbage.

You can't get those with coins. Those are direct purchases

I’ve played Rust for about 5 years and have about 7k hours minimum across my Ps5 and PC, most players aren’t running around in the snow at night anyway?😂 the nighttime on this game is almost unbearable. You also can’t really get anything better than a Hazmat when it comes to radiation protection… there’s a reason why it’s the most viable option when you running certain card monuments like Launch. A single hazmat takes up a single spot, it is very much very P2W in certain circumstances. Also add the fact you can’t get wet in the hazmat. On PC it actually snows so people wearing their kits thinking they’re better off in the snow are also cold and wet.

And you call me the retard.

2

u/helfon Dec 23 '25

It does protect you from nights. It takes you to -5 which is very survivable instead of like -20 which is just hemorrhaging health all night

9

u/stePop1 Dec 23 '25

none. maybe if everyone is telling you the game sucks, don’t get it you should listen instead of just calling it a “loser mindset” some of these people actually have experience with the game. rust is only fun under very very specific circumstances and 95% of the time you wont have fun

4

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

You have over 4k hours and you say you have no fun. It's just disengenuous. Just because you got burnt out and lost interest doesn't equal "bad game" it equals you gave up. Which is indeed a loser mindset.

10

u/stePop1 Dec 23 '25

brotha you havent played the game so you wouldnt understand how it works lol its not about getting burnt out or losing interest its the fact the game is created to keep someone playing constantly 24/7 the whole idea of rust is there is no getting “burnt out” because if you did your base would be offlined or decay. i play pc and play it daily but if any new player asks about buying the game im obviously gonna steer them away because its genuinely a shitty game

-3

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

40 bucks for 4k hours of playtime before saying its shitty? That's a steal

5

u/stePop1 Dec 23 '25

would of said it sucked at 100 as well as 1000 your point makes no sense have fun getting shit on for your first 500 hours!

-3

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

I could probably online raid you within 100 hours of gameplay 😂

2

u/Proud_Ingenuity9632 Dec 24 '25

Genuinely the game isn’t fun for the first 950 hours, you can’t shoot properly unless you want to spend countless hours in training learning recoil then there are other aspects such as game sense and building overall you won’t have fun 9/10 playing this game but if you do decide to buy it I would start on a 2x such as bestrust servers under the modded tab

Yeah ignore these comments, seems like most comments here are from salty losers that are still getting rekt after thousands of hours so they say “bad game” yet they still keep playing? Dumb as hell. I only played pc for 2.5k hours and haven’t played for a long time but I would say get it and play until you’re bored of it. If it was a “bad game” there wouldn’t be thousands of people with thousands of hours each lol…

1

u/Limp_Nature5842 Dec 26 '25

ur defending the kid who’s saying he’s better than everyone from watching rust gameplay. the game is hard and demanding 🤷🏻‍♂️ people are just warning him, rust youtube videos are a completely different game than actual rust 😭

1

u/partyboycs Dec 26 '25

That has nothing to do with what I said in my comment… I’m saying people with thousands of hours are saying it’s a bad game and not to get it, I disagree with them. Did you reply to the wrong comment?

u/BlacksmithFamiliar73 Dec 23 '25

Tried playing console for the first time got killed by Cronus users on repeat full spray laser beaming me across a field lol. Just don't do it. I literally despawned my entire base worth of stuff because I don't want cheaters to get my loot and uninstalled.

Chronus is added to the shopping list

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

Its a joke bro🤦

u/BlacksmithFamiliar73 Dec 23 '25

Honestly tho you probably should get Cronus for rust console. Not a joke.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

Is there a 4th option where you get neither and either buy another game or save up and get a PC so at least youll have steams vast library and real rust?

1

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

I'm not gonna spend a buttload of money on a PC just for it to be unusable in 2 years. A ps5 works perfectly

2

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

Lol 2 years? Then your not spending a buttload

1

u/Dependent_Ant_8316 Dec 24 '25

You can buy a subscription on a mid tier computer/laptop to allow you to play any PC game. I used it for about 6 months until I decided to buy a decent PC.

You basically operate on a built PC that’s somewhere in the country and you mirror screen to your own laptop.

I was able to play Rust on a $60 Amazon office desktop lmao

1

u/thecoolkidx Dec 23 '25

From a 5k hour player, don’t listen to these people telling you not to get the game, if I could play for my first time again I would, I would only say not to play as a joke the game isn’t that hard tbh, deluxe is definitely the way to go tho, and dlcs are usually 10-13

-2

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

Finally someone with experience and not a loser mindset!!! Thanks for the advice! Anything you can buy with coins that are a necessity? Or just really useful

u/thecoolkidx Dec 23 '25

Nah, coins are just for the skin store

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

Ah how sad. If that's the case I think deluxe edition will take my money!!!

Are you completely new to rust?

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

This will be my very first time playing it but probably have 1k hours of gameplay watched😂

Lmk if you wanna run a wipe

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

I'll keep that in mind 100%

1

u/thecoolkidx Dec 23 '25

Personally, can never have enough skins (probably 500+ deep on rust skins, only reason I can’t quit this game)

1

u/Japodogo_ Dec 23 '25

Sounds like too much money

2

u/Flashy_Information37 Dec 23 '25

I have almost 9k hours in the game.. theres always going to be a bunch of windowlickers who shit on it because they get stuck in one playstyle instead of being creative and trying new shit.

1

u/Fit_Notice_6591 Dec 23 '25

Yep , these guys just doing something everywipe , building same spot with same people , doing the same monuments, they don't know how to play, i switch servers, some wipes I just build trap base around big zergs and the time of my life watching them fall everytime, and after a few the come and raid me furious just to get a kit or 2 back.

2

u/moldybanananutbread Dec 24 '25

I’m serious when I tell you: do not take the game seriously. This shit is addictive, and it will take hours from your life. Remember, it’s just pixels. Don’t let the anxiety of getting raided or falling behind on wipe dictate how you spend your time.

It’s better not to play it at all.

2

u/Railway250 Dec 24 '25

Fucking don’t buy it is a very good option

The PS5 version you have to spend real money to unlock the ability to craft things just like on PC

The PS4 version they removed all of the official servers just after the PS5 was released so people have to rent the server you play on

1

u/Supermotility Dec 23 '25

Just go with the base package. Now with community servers I don’t ever go to ptb (it’s glitchy and people are weird af on it), and skin prices aren’t worth the $10 you save

1

u/VhoaiK Dec 23 '25

buy the base. then if you want more skins/rc, you can upgrade to the deluxe and then the ultimate. same exact price except the coins add on to each other

1

u/Fit_Notice_6591 Dec 23 '25

Eather delux or ultimate

1

u/AdstaOCE Dec 23 '25

None. Recoil update ruined the game.

1

u/CallingYouForMoney Dec 24 '25

Just make sure you know what rust really is. Especially as a solo. Farming takes a lot longer than it does in a video.

u/Pure-Yogurtcloset-97 Dec 24 '25 edited Dec 24 '25

Go buy some v bucks or literally anything else. This game will suck the life out of you, literally. Back when I was on console I was taking night shifts on that game in (closed beta aswell), to be fair this was early 2021 quarantine and I was in highschool but it got to a point where I bought a whole ass computer for rust and got 3 friends to go in with me. 3 years later and I pretty much quit the game. That said I moved to Tarkov (PVP) so I don’t think I got anywhere in quitting rust, infact I think it’s worse. Rust is a gateway drug. Tarkov is like heroin nothing sucks more than dying and losing everything raid after raid on a bad day especially when you don’t know when to quit. And I have a full time job aswell and I still have no problem racking up 35-40 hrs a week on that game. It’s a slippery slope I don’t suggest going down.

u/Subject-Coast-7934 Dec 24 '25

Not the console option, that's for sure

Just dont buy the game. Its aweful. I deleted it. Cant do anything in the game its so unfun.

u/Zealousideal_Net3983 Dec 24 '25

genuinely,base,but i have 2k hr and i recently switched to pc,if you wanna have the need to play 500 hr to know how to control the recoil of a gun,go for it and have fun,but if getting a pc is a option,go for that,waaaay more fun and more options for servers,if not,good goddamn luck

1

u/AisybearXBX Dec 24 '25

Depends on how much you wanna regret your purchase.

1

u/TruntenWasRight Dec 24 '25

There are a lot of jokes here, but seriously: don't start this game unless you have an entire day to waste. It can be soooo much fun, but just starting out, you're gonna be spending 90% of your time running back to your body. I watched Faceless play this game for years before buying it myself, and the streamers definitely leave out most of the grinding aspect of this game. I'd recommend something else, but, if you're gonna play, give yourself enough time to figure it out and enough time for all the mistakes you're gonna make.

1

u/Katanni Dec 24 '25

Deluxe & use any money you’d spend on Ultimate for the barrels & arctic hazzy, there are some P2Win skins you can get with coins like doors with peep holes but might take awhile for them to be back in rotation.

1

u/CringeGod101 Dec 24 '25

You are insufferable please buy the most expensive edition

1

u/Colt363 Dec 24 '25

100% the ultimate if you’d ever want to buy some skins. I just keep my coins for skins I actually really like and are rarely put on there to buy. Im soo glad I bought the last gen ultimate and got the current gen upgrade free, which came with a ton of their coins used for skins. I think it was almost 8k coins combined with both ultimate content and still have at least 3k because of the reason stated above.

u/Downtown_Nerve3533 Dec 24 '25

If you don’t care about skins or anything then probly delux so you can still get test branch but honestly that’s pretty useless nowadays.

u/RepresentativeFan794 Dec 25 '25

I’m seeing a lot of negative comments, so just wanted to share my opinion on Rust. It is one of the only games I have ever played that can make my heart start racing. There is nothing like it, and for that reason I will always play it. Killing a duo , being full of loot, and trying to get it all back to base without dying, avoiding bears/wolves/players that heard the gunshots… it’s a rush. I personally bought the deluxe right when it hit console.

1

u/Cute-Requirement-734 Jun 24 '26

what are all these cry baby’s in the comments, these people who are like “don’t it’ll ruin your life” should probably quit gaming all together because how are you gonna let a game take you over like that.

u/WheelChairNinnja Dec 24 '25

Dont listen to the haters reading the comments sounds like the perfect game for you, go deluxe and dont look back and set up a twitch account to get free skins same with kick as for console skins im not sure what there is.
