About The Game★
What is Rust?
Rust is Facepunch Studios' wilderness survival game, where players scavenge, craft, build bases, and fight to survive in a world that offers no protection once you log in. It's known for unforgiving PvP, deep building systems, and a live game that changes with every monthly update.
ChicagoServers' Rust hosting includes configurable scheduled wipes, full support for Oxide/uMod, Harmony mods, custom maps, and even the Rust staging branch on Steam. Every plan starts vanilla, with plugins available at a click through the panel.
With a live player count that regularly tops 100,000 concurrent players, Rust has become one of the defining survival games of the last decade — driven by its brutal PvP, deep building/raiding systems, and a huge Oxide/uMod plugin ecosystem with thousands of community-made additions.
