Rust Updates

Armored Ladder Hatch

The armored ladder hatch will come in both a standard and a triangular variant. The hatch will feature more durability than the standard ladder hatch and will also have a protective top flap for cover. It is expected that the armored ladder hatch will be found in similar loot pools to the Armored Door.

Water Wheel

The water wheel is an upcoming deployable that will serve as another source of electricity. The wheel can be placed in running water to automatically generate power. It can also be placed on a foundation, allowing players to run on it, generating power.

Mortars

Not much about mortars is known yet, other than they are planned on Rust’s Q2 roadmap. They are expected to be a long-range PVP weapon with raiding capabilities. Commits from the Rust developers hint that several ammunition types may be coming to the mortar, each serving a different purpose. It is expected that the mortar will work similarly to the ballista and catapult added with the Primitive update.

M16A2 Rifle

The M16A2 Rifle is expected to be a new military-grade assault rifle coming to Rust. No specific information is given on Rust’s Q2 roadmap, though it is known for being a powerful rifle with long-range capabilities. The weapon is expected to be chambered in 5.56 rifle ammo featuring single-fire and burst-fire firing modes.

Kevlar Armor Set

A new set of armor is coming in the form of Kevlar armor. The armor is believed to be loot-only; nothing has been fully revealed quite yet.
