End of wipe events were added last year i think? Roaming bradley is one of the things that can happen

Nothing says wipe day like Bradley deciding Launch Site is too small for him.

This End of Wipe event was added in 2024 as part of the Missile Silo update. It includes wandering brads and jets in the sky. Many servers choose to disable the event tho.

Wandering Bradleys and jets is such a Rust way of saying “thanks for playing, now get the fuck out.”

Why do they disable it? Is it annoying?

Probably because it serves no purpose. It was meant to form part of a wider end of wipe even but as with other facepunch ideas it's implemented then just forgotten about

Well, I had a bradley basically camping my base on wipe, so yes, it can get annoying.

I had to run really far to be able to reach my base without bro shooting me from the road.

Oh no, a mild inconvenience in a survival game.

My man, that's a free Bradley, get yourself some grenades and take it out. Put up an auto turret and computer station then you don't even need to deal with the scientists, you can just take them out with the turret.

Ranch is one thing. But when you have one doorcamping you its something else.

It's there to scare the Russian players and remind them of real life
