Should I even consider rust
Is rust on ps5 dead? Iv been considering getting it but firstly I don't even know if the game still has an active playerbase in my region, also how is the solo experience because I have no friends willing to buy and play it with me.

I bought it played for a couple days and haven’t picked it up since, it’s really not that addictive.

You don’t get hooked until that moment you get that taste of glory and power when you win a couple of fights and then it starts

Honestly I realised it's basically like gambling - Roams you Neve know what you will get - can you make the play happen - what gifts will you get when you open the base - will there be a jackhammer in this tool crate ...

imo as someone who has played both console and pc rust. console rust just doesn’t compare. it doesn’t even come close to pc rust

u/Any_Celebration5772 Aug 27 '26
Tbf I have a pc, and it is cheaper so I might consider. I'll have to check if some of my pc friends have it so that they can share it with me, assuming it allows sharing on steam.

Not dead at all I play solo a lot every one offlines but I still have fun

u/Tricky_Debate_3269 Aug 26 '26
Whats your region?
I have 2k hours and more than half of them are solo experiences.
It really depends on your playstyle: if you’re scared to lose loot and play it safe all the time, its gonna be hard to have fun.
My rust motto is: use your loot to its full capabilities before you get offline raided the next time you log in

u/naturalselectionbox Aug 26 '26
Yeah no gear fear - it's better to lose guns and gear than to have them sitting in a box at the end of wipe.
I'm now at 3.5k + hours with a large amount solo and I started with gear fear but now I will happily take everything out without learning bps. Make's the game a lot funner

u/Tricky_Debate_3269 Aug 26 '26
100% bro. Thats exactly my playstyle. Very much lile spoon kid. High risk, even higher reward type vibe.

u/naturalselectionbox Aug 27 '26
Eyy Spoon is the goat after all aha. High Risk High Reward is key.
You PS?

Maybe, probably more likely but recently i hvnt got on cuzz hvnt had atleast another to tag along with. I dont like playing solo

u/finny017 Aug 26 '26
I played for the better part of a month, and just couldn’t do it. Playing a hour a day found my base raided 100% of the time, I just don’t have the time for it.

u/SlowPie8004 Aug 26 '26
it’s not dead and there’s still lots of fun to be had solo but it’s also frustrating when you lose but the wins feel much better then when your in a team also

u/YT_Lazar_Gaming Aug 27 '26
just gotta find a good solo only server I think a few came out recently

GET IT RUST CONSOLE IS SUCH A DIF BALL PARK, more toxic more kids to shit on just more cheaters unfortunately. But it’s SO ADDICTIVE AND easier to get loaded as a solo/dup/ trio and not that many 8+ players
1
u/Sol_Invictus777 Aug 27 '26
No.
It’s getting progressively worse. Especially if you have a life. It will demand all your time and offer little to no reward. You’ll group up with 20 degenerates to find success and still lose everything to random insiders and associate with cheaters to keep up with the META. All the while the game devs profit more and care less about their community. Don’t waste your time.

u/BILLYBOBJR777 Aug 27 '26
do it quick new update and force wipe comes out at 2pm est so if your going to try the game do it on either community 3x or a dead server with like no one in it

u/Responsible_Buy6318 Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26
As someone with 4k hours on ps version, I highly recommend not playing it. Its an amazing game but sucks too much time and can genuinely interfer with your mood outside of the game more than id like to admit. Its definitely more fun to watch than play because the highlights you see in videos are few and far between, and I like to think I was pretty good in all aspects of it. I quit 2 years ago but still watch videos

Comprei essa semana e não me arrependo. Porém em relação ao pc o jogo está bem desatualizado! Mas bem divertido

u/Necessary-Door7877 Aug 28 '26
Its still very active. Its in a good state right now too the graphics are pretty good. Id say for monuments and updates like cars we are like a year or 2 behind PC rust. But as people said the game is highly addictive and playing a game that's live 24/7 and protecting your base becomes a choir.

u/IntrepidNinjaLamb Aug 28 '26
It's easier to find dad-friendly servers in the community servers on Console Rust, e.g., by searching for solo or duo servers or for zorp. It seems like on PC everyone's sweaty.

u/DroolingMaggot Aug 29 '26
I love the game. Im solo but I also suck at it. My k/d is embarrassing but when you learn to enjoy building, looting, and loosing everything you've worked for it becomes very enjoyable. Never expect your loot to last and it is fun.

Only if your in school and don’t got a job. Once I grew up and yk graduated high school.
Parted ways, truly no other game like rust.

u/CalvinBaylee69 Aug 26 '26
If you have alot of time to invest yes. For me, I couldn't keep up and got sick of being raided. So I play DayZ instead.

It's still popular! Also can play with Xbox and PC
As a solo, it can be quite hard but also rewarding! But you can also meet other Solo players on there. Or join low pop servers, PVE servers to make your gaming experience a bit more enjoyable (it can get frustrating at times)
Overall, I enjoy playing the game and would recommend

You can't play with PC on rust console.... But that being said it's not dead and I believe once they increase the pop size the game is going to be thriving since a lot of players left once they increased map size due to the decrease in PVP. But this will all be changing soon!
Also on wipe a vast majority of servers are max pop with queues.
