How to Disable Rust Skins to Show Default Skins

The best way to combat pay-to-win Rust armor sets is to disable Rust skins entirely, so you only see the default skin version of the item. Overpowered armor skin sets like the Forest Raiders or the Desert Raiders allow players to blend into their environment, which many players have complained about since it’s not fair.

Unfortunately, you cannot pick and choose which items or skins will revert to the default skin. This setting will also hurt all the players who paid so much for their sneaky armor skins.
