A new world
rolls in.
RustV2 wipes .
More to fight. More to find.
Meet Venom
A difficult new boss joins RustV2, while several existing bosses receive anti-cheese changes, balance updates, and fixes.
Treasure maps
Bosses can now drop treasure maps. Follow the X on your map, dig at the marked location, and uncover your loot.
Two new biomes
Explore a vast basin cut through rock and a waterlogged swamp filled with twisted trees and dense shallows.
Ride. Trick. Boost.
Motorcycle physics and speed have been improved. Pull off flips, 360s, and jumps to earn boost points—the cleaner the landing, the better the score.
The new rocket booster increases speed and gives you more control in the air. If a motorcycle is left AFK for two minutes, it falls over and can be picked up with a single click.
The basin & swamp biomes
New threats, denser fights
Abandoned Town
A massive, seemingly abandoned city patrolled by motorcycle-driving bandits. Expect constant ambushes and loot comparable to Talon Gunners.
The Airfield key chest has moved here.
Drones & Warbots
Bandit Drones and Warbots now share a dense new compound loot zone. Protection players cannot enter it.
Train & Military Storage
Train has been revamped and is now home to the improved Zombie Brain miniboss. The Abomination has moved to the expanded Military Storage sewer zone. Both zones now have more mobs.
More room on the map
Hill, Zombie Village, and Duel-Grounds have been removed. Their space and encounters have been consolidated into stronger destinations.
Fairer fights
Several bosses have been fixed or reworked where their mechanics made them too easy to cheat.
- Abomination has moved and received combat tweaks.
- Cook-Cook has been revamped.
- Warpfiend is harder to cheese, with reduced boss and projectile health.
- Gooball is harder to cheese, with adjusted difficulty and reduced health.
- Lava Serpent and Zombie Brain received tweaks and fixes.

- Fishing is a little easier.
- Gliders can now be bow boosted.
- Chests break in one hit.

One gun. Reusable rope.
Carrying a stack of 64 grapples made it too easy to replace a broken rope and keep spamming grapples during PvP. Grapples are now a single reusable gun instead.
The Grapple Gun holds rope with the same effective capacity of 64 uses. Each shot consumes one rope.
- Broken rope damages the gun.If another player breaks your active grapple or rope, you cannot immediately fire another.
- Repairing takes 3–4 seconds.Repair or reload it like a weapon by clicking or shifting.
- Switching items cancels the repair.You are never stuck completing the reload when you need another item.
