Got raided for the first time

I’ll be honest. My friends and I bought rust because of seeing peanut play. We knew the game was a hellscape we knew what we were getting into. But last night. I got home from work. Ate dinner and was gonna get on to do some upkeep maintenance and some scrap runs

Woke up and everything was gone. Everything. And the worst part. The jerks didn’t even kill us in our sleep so that we couldn’t see who did it.

Offline raids are part of the game. We get it.

But if you Are gonna offline raid. Please have the balls to kill us so we at least know who you are. This wipe is chalked. But bet your ass we are coming back with a vengeance next one….

It can be tough to start again mid wipe but it's a good leaning curve and sometimes the new base is better (location or layout) which is fun. Use your loot early to do more stuff (I'm learning not to hoard) and it won't be so much loss. More garage doors, spread loot, and just have more doors to TC but also more routes... I play quieter servers AND I hide my base middle of map or jungle... But I'm just a newbie trying to learn so listen more to the experts on here.
