Introducing Hardcore Mode Revamp and Latest Updates in Rust Game Servers

HARDCORE REFRESH
Experience the revival of Hardcore mode this month in Rust, featuring community-requested changes and exciting new tweaks. Hardcore mode, along with Primitive mode, offers a fresh Rust experience to players, guiding development decisions based on player feedback.

HARDCORE - FOG OF WAR
Hardcore mode introduces the Fog of War system, obscuring the map upon spawning and gradually revealing it as players explore, enhancing the risk-reward gameplay dynamics.
HARDCORE - COMPASS

Navigation in Hardcore mode gets a twist with the addition of the compass as a handheld tool, requiring players to equip it to see their location on the map, promoting strategic decision-making.

HARDCORE - WEAPON & AMMO CRAFTING CHANGES
Firearms can no longer be crafted or researched in Hardcore mode, emphasizing loot scarcity and introducing a 5x increase in ammunition crafting costs to encourage more thoughtful gameplay.
HARDCORE - RESPAWN CHANGES

Respawn mechanics in Hardcore mode see adjustments, with increased cooldowns for sleeping bags and beds, challenging players to strategize before engaging with opponents.
HARDCORE UPKEEP CHANGES
In Hardcore mode, the upkeep costs have doubled to promote leaner base designs, more frequent raiding, and a dynamic gameplay experience, aligning with the mode's high-stakes survival theme.

SERVER SECURE/ENCRYPTION CHANGES
Server owners must adapt to new secure server requirements to ensure visibility on the Rust Client server browser, enhancing server security and integrity.
NOTABLE CHANGES
Explore various gameplay improvements, including minigun turret changes, map marker keybinds, dynamic weapon stats, and server restart warnings, enhancing the overall Rust multiplayer experience.
