Rust Servers

You can find the schedule for the wipes in Discord at top left under Events.

Currently PvE 1 is on a monthly wipe cycle at forced wipe which is always the first Thursday of every month, as decided by FacePunch. The PvE 2 and all PvP servers are on a bi-weekly wipe cycle, and this cycle includes forced wipe with the mid-monthly wipe taking place on the third or fourth Thursday depending on a 4 or 5 week month. ie For a 5 week month, wipe would be at week 1 and 4 meaning there's 2 weeks before the monthly forced wipe.

For forced wipes on the first Thursday of each month, we don't know the exact time, it's always up to FacePunch and how quickly they can get their new builds out but it's usually around 7.00pm GMT. For mid-monthly wipes we'll also try to do the wipe at 7.00pm GMT.

Server IP and Ports

As of 25th March 2025 and the migration to a better server, you may find your in-game bookmarks have gone. If you can't see them in your server browser, click the modded tab, make sure to view empty as well as full servers, and type GameKeeper in the search box. Then click the star button to bookmark each server in your favourites. If for some reason (FacePunch) the GameKeeper servers don't appear, then use one of these manual methods below, at least one of them will work for you.

1) You should be able to connect to any of the servers by clicking on the steam://connect links below if Steam is running. Once you've connected it should be in your in-game browser history and you can then favourite it. (This doesn't always work, it depends on your set-up.)

2) If that doesn't work, then copy one of the strings below for the server you're trying to connect to. Then once you're in-game, press F1 and go to the console. Paste the relevant string and press <enter> and you should be able to connect directly. As above, once you've connected it should be in your in-game browser history and you can then favourite it.

PvE Rust Server #1 (x4250 map) - steam://connect/78.46.106.155:28017

x5 gather PvE plus experience increases and a lot of loot in barrels and chests (no junk). All buildings are protected and can't be raided, but if someone leaves a door or roof open, then they may be looted by unscrupulous players, so don't do that. Players can't be killed by other players except for in the few PvP zones (you get a warning when entering) and sometimes some players will choose to build in the PvP zones so they can raid and battle each other. You can still be killed by the environment (animals, radiation, scientists, zombies). Wiped once per month at FacePunch forced wipe time - the first Thursday of each month.

 

PvE Rust Server #2 (x4250 map) - steam://connect/78.46.106.155:28019

x10 gather PvE plus experience increases and a lot of loot in barrels and chests (no junk). Railyard and railway lines are part of this map. Comments about building protection, PvP zones etc are the same as PvE #1 above. Wiped every 2 weeks, week 1 and 3, or at week 4 if it's a 5-week month.

 

CLANS Rust Server (x4250 map) - steam://connect/78.46.106.155:28015

x10 gather PvP plus progression through activity on the server (gather amounts, wood cutting, crafting, etc) and a lot of loot in barrels and chests (no junk). Railyard and railway lines are part of this map. This is the place to go to make friends and enemies, build a clan and go raiding. Wiped every 2 weeks, week 1 and 3 or at week 4 if it's a 5-week month.

 

DUO Rust server (x4250 map) - steam://connect/78.46.106.155:28021

x10 gather Duo PvP - like the PvP server above, but for TWO-PLAYER teams only - allying with other teams to form a larger clan will earn you a permanent ban on all our Rust servers. Trading via /trade is okay, but any other form of co-operation will get you banned. We WILL find out, and we ban people regularly for trying to bend the rules on both Duo and Solo servers. Wiped every 2 weeks, (week 1 and 3) or at week 4 if it's a 5-week month.
