Welcome to 2018! First week: exploit fixes & forced wipe. No BP wipe!

New year, new you. New year, new Rust update. This week we don’t see many changes as the team is still getting back from the holidays. There will be a forced wipe and a few small changes are in-game.

The Christmas content will be disabled as of tonight. The Christmas presents will be disabled. There have been some tweaks to Hapis and Savas Maps and the animations for the LR, M249 and M92 are improved. Also the third person melee weapon swing sounds are changed.

An exploit bug will be fixed with this update. People managed to protect a base with a cupboard miles away from their base, thus preventing raiders from getting to a cupboard at all. Also cupboards were not always destroyed when the underlying foundation was removed. This is now fixed.

Some other small changes are expected, but we’ll see that later today.

As always, we’re not sure when the update will hit, but it shouldn’t take very long today. We expect it between 21:00 and 23:00 CET. After the update, all maps will be wiped.

We will not perform a blueprint wipe today!
