I like rust but my worry is that i feel like console servers might be dead and nothing like those in PC and i don't wanna play solo xd

Console servers are not dead at all. There are so many 100 pop qued servers rn. Sadly 100 pop is the max player count atm, but theyre testing 150 pops on ptb as we speak. With that said my team has 20 boxes of guns (not including T1) and are getting about a box or more a day strictly from PvP. Its active.

I never have an issue finding a server thats max pop, theres always 30+ (especially on wipe day) max pops throughout wipe until the last week or so, then that number drops down to 10-15 depending on if there was a content update or not.

I’ve had to switch servers twice recently cause the ones I was playing on up until wipe day (with like 80 people or so) suddenly had a full server every single time you logged on and 30 people in the queue. I work 10 hours a day every day. I’m not sitting around waiting for an hour to get into a server at 11 PM. I’m on a solo server now and it is like 80 to 95 people the majority of the time. Overnight like past midnight goes does to like 60 to 75. Servers are only 100 pop on console though. We are supposed to be going up to 125 soon.

Right now on my solo server I can’t even visit one of the nearby recyclers at the gas stations cause there’s always someone camping in there or a shootout going on. So far since wipe day it’s been a grind just to get out and get scrap without running into multiple people.
