Where to Obtain The Keeping Afloat Mission

Rust’s Keeping Afloat Mission can be obtained from the Lumberjack NPC found in the Bandit Camp or Outpost, depending on your selected server’s settings. However, by default, the Lumberjack mission giver sits next to the Stuff vendor inside the Bandit Camp. Interact with the Lumberjack and offer him help to receive the mission.
