Wipe Information

For information on the latest wipe, please see the #announcements channel in Discord.

Overview

In general, the Rust server is scheduled for bi-weekly wipes.

This means that the server wipes on forced wipe (the first Thursday of the month) and then again on map wipe (two weeks later). There are times where we do run 1-week or 3-week wipes when there are five Thursdays in the month. We have also been known to run a monthly wipe for certain occasions, though rare.

Forced Wipes

Forced wipes occur on the first Thursday of the month and the server is always wiped on this date.

On forced wipe, we reset Blueprints (BPs), Skill Tree Points (ST) and Prestige Levels, and Reward Points (RP). We also reset the map, Player Ranks, and Vehicle License, so effectively all progress is reset.

Map Wipes

Map wipes are generally two weeks after a forced wipe.

On map wipes, we only reset the map, Player Ranks, and Vehicle License. Players get to keep their Blueprints (BPs), Skill Tree Points (ST) and Prestige Levels, and Reward Points (RP).

First Wipe of the Year

For the first wipe of the new year, we also reset XStatistics (our stats plugin) so that players have a fresh start for the coming year.

Map Selection

We run both procedural and custom maps depending on the wipe. Occasionally we offer several maps to the community to vote on in the #rust-chat channel within Discord a few days before wipe. Other times, staff will make a map selection based on the theme of the wipe.

Seasons

Each month of Rust at Alliant Games is considered a new Season, with Season 1 starting in January 2021. A Season can be a full month wipe or broken into 2 or 3 parts, depending on the number of wipes in the month.
