T1 HANDMADE SMG
This month, exciting new Rust game updates are here! Introducing the T1 Handmade SMG, a valuable addition to your arsenal unlockable near the end of the T1 tech tree.
While the Handmade SMG may lack accuracy and raw damage, it makes up for it with sheer volume, allowing players to unleash a hail of bullets. Skilled survivors can strategically time their attacks and position themselves for surprise bursts against better-equipped foes.
SKS
Unlock the SKS at the beginning of the T3 tech tree, bridging the gap between the SAR and the M39. This mid-tier powerhouse offers a blend of punchy damage and accuracy, making it a dependable choice for players seeking a rifle with solid range and stopping power. Seasoned survivors will appreciate the balanced performance and kick of the SKS.
IMPROVED WOLF AI
Hello, I'm Maverick! As part of the Rust game updates, I've been working on enhancing the AI experience. This month, we're rolling out the first phase of a significant AI overhaul, starting with updates to the wolf behavior.
The Why
The current wolf behavior can feel unfair and unpredictable, especially in low visibility situations. With faster speed than players, encountering a wolf often leads to a frantic battle or a long chase for loot. To address this, we've revamped the wolf AI to provide a more engaging and balanced challenge.
The How
Experience the new wolf behaviors firsthand and discover the changes through gameplay. We've introduced various improvements to make wolf encounters more dynamic and strategic. Explore the revamped AI and adapt your tactics to overcome these formidable creatures.
