Lower FOV and Increase Zoom When Aiming in Rust

Making your FOV in Rust automatically lower when aiming down sights will give your weapon more zoom than it would normally have. This can be especially useful when spraying a gun at long ranges since it can increase visibility.

Unfortunately, this keybind will switch between FOVs whenever you right-click in Rust, which can be annoying when building or in bow combat. However, you can always remove and add the command back later.

Follow the Steps Below

You’ll need to open the developer console by pressing F1 on your keyboard. Click here to change the key for opening the console.

• Open the developer console
• Copy and paste the command bind mouse1 "+attack2;+fov 90;fov 70;"
  • To remove the keybind type bind mouse1 +attack2 into the console

Change FOV and Sensitivity

Some players prefer to lower their sensitivity when aiming to help better their gun control.

• Open the developer console
• Copy and paste the command bind mouse1 "+attack2;+input.sensitivity .30;input.sensitivity .20;+graphics.fov 90;graphics.fov 70"
  • The first input sensitivity value is your normal sensitivity and the second is your ADS sensitivity
  • To remove the keybind type bind mouse1 +attack2 into the console
