Your first wipe
Everything you need before you connect: how the server works, what to set up, the commands to know and the rules that catch new players out.
How Lone Wolf Rust works
One Solo Only server, running since May 2021.
Strictly solo
One player, no teams and no allies, enforced by our own custom-built anti-teaming system.
How we catch teamersVanilla Rust
The game as Facepunch makes it, with standard rates and no kits. Nothing for sale changes how the game plays.
What Wolf Pass includesMonthly map wipe
The map wipes on the first Thursday of every month at 1:45 PM Eastern. Blueprints are kept. The next wipe is Thu, Nov 5. The server restarts daily at 4:00 AM Eastern.
See the wipe calendarChecked at the door
Every account is checked by the Firewall as it joins: no game bans, no recent VAC ban, a 30-day-old account, 24 hours of Rust and no VPN, among others.

The rules that catch new players out
Every rule matters. Start with these three.
Kill-on-sight
Around fights, monuments, raids, events, air drops and decaying bases, you must fight or leave. A brief tactical pause is allowed.
Read the Solo Only rulesTrades, not gifts
Trades must be fair swaps made in real time. Giving items away is a donation, and donations are bannable.
Read the trading rulesReport, don't call out
Calling someone a cheater or teamer in global chat warns them, and the first time earns a temporary mute. Press F7 instead.
Why we mute calloutsMake your name
Rankings every wipe, and roles that grow with your hours.
Climb the leaderboard
Every fight, gather and build counts. Wipe boards reset at every map wipe, and all-time boards never do.
Earn your playtime role
Your hours on Lone Wolf Rust earn roles, from Whelp at 24 hours to Lone Wolf at 25,000. At 1,000 hours, Scout opens the Council, where experienced players review changes before they launch.
