The latest update for “Rust,” released in April 2024, introduced a variety of new features and improvements to enhance gameplay. Key updates include:
Seismic Sensor: This new tool detects explosions within a customizable radius, enhancing strategic play around explosive events.
Helicopter Behavior Changes: Helicopters now track which players have damaged them, prioritizing those players for attacks. They also avoid areas where they take damage too quickly, adding a dynamic element to engagements.
Electrical System Upgrades: Several updates were made to reduce the power drain from electrical components, allowing more creative freedom in building circuits without worrying about excessive power consumption.
Quality of Life Enhancements: The update includes numerous quality of life improvements, such as making the sign painting UI more user-friendly, adjusting the fishing mechanics to require more strategic bait usage, and various tweaks to make managing and deploying items more intuitive.
New Weapon – Minigun: Introduced as a rare drop, the minigun holds 300 rounds of 5.56 ammo, offering intense firepower with significant recoil and a pre-fire spin-up time.
These updates are part of the developers’ ongoing efforts to refine the game, adding depth to the survival aspects and ensuring a balanced competitive environment (Facepunch) (Rustafied)
