Rust Community Update 262: Facepunch's 15th Birthday & More
Facepunch's 15th Birthday Celebration
Facepunch Studios is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a bang! To mark this milestone, all Facepunch games, including Rust and its DLCs, are available at a 50% discount on the Steam store. This is a great opportunity for new players to dive into the world of Rust and for veterans to expand their collection with DLCs.
Facepunch's journey began in 2009 with the release of Garry's Mod, a sandbox game that offered players limitless creativity. Fast forward to 2013, Rust was born, redefining the survival genre with its post-apocalyptic setting. Today, Rust continues to evolve, with major updates and Twitch events planned for 2024.
Licensed 3D Printed Rust Items
Facepunch has partnered with Lootroom to offer officially licensed 3D printed Rust items. This collaboration allows fans to own high-quality replicas of in-game assets, bringing the Rust experience into the real world.
Lootroom's journey began in 2018 with a simple idea: to create a real-life Rust furnace. Since then, they have expanded their offerings to include over 70 different Rust items, gaining popularity among Rust enthusiasts worldwide. Their commitment to quality and community engagement has resulted in a thriving business, now operating over 20 3D printers in Nuremberg, Germany.
