How does one simply get good at Rust? Well, making some friends and playing the game is a start. This game absolutely sucks without friends. I would know, I don't have any so this game sucks for me. Go to a Discord server and gather up a squad.

Good luck with this step. Have fun running naked from a dude with a machine gun, spear, bow, or rock that isn't trying to kill you. It's nearly impossible to play this game without friends, go do step one until someone decides to be your friend.
