A welcome inclusion for the successful survival shooter…
The survival shooter Rust’s new update has hit the streets, descriptively named “Missions & QoL”, and with it comes new interactable NPCs which will give you missions to complete. The tasks range “from catching fish or harvesting lumber to hunting sharks and uncovering hidden treasure.”
Here is the trailer breaking down the new system and some of the other additions:
A post on the Rust blog explains that this is just a first iteration and that although the system is capable of much more, the missions available currently are geared towards new players. “We will be expanding on this in the coming months to include PvP missions (capture and hold, delivery, ambush) and eventually even bounty hunting,” they say.
Rust has previously relied on its players to create fun and terror for each other, with survival mechanics pushing survivors towards theft, violence and home defence. As an oft-murdered rookie, I appreciate an NPC on-ramp, but I’m interested in how much further they take the system.
The rest of the update adds a new camper van module for customisable vehicles and is primarily quality-of-life focused. You can now move the signs you’ve hand-painted, boats are now easier to flip right side up, and you can land vehicles on the cargo ship without them sliding off. You can read the full changelog here.
Missions are available now, and Rust’s next update will arrive on October 28th at 7pm BST when “a mandatory server and client update to enable some new spooky features” for Halloween.
