In this Guide alot will be explained I will put alot and effort into this as i am on the urge of 1k Hours I Have much experince. In this guide i will give opininos and links to people who can help u as of 2017 I will also give my respects to people Who Have played and gone into the Service/And or died Or Where beastly and quit. This is the best guide u will find, From getting started to just getting tired of the game TO CLAN RUNNING. The largest guide you will see here will be about Clan Running/owning a clan everything is sectonied off.

This is it, so u join the game you have a rock and ur nacked. Best spawn would be away from all rad towns so you are Secluded From everyone. Most caves have traps, dont fall for it only enter when u need Minerals And dont go to deep. (-QuickTIP- all nodes respawn within a minute on vanilla servers keep that in mind moded may be edited) All maps are randomly genarated so first step is to mine atleast 3 stone nodes. (nodes are all diffirent colors stone nodes are greyish.) Alright so you get enough stone and wood u make eithor a hatchet or a pick axe I reccomend you start with a pickaxe and then mine more nodes to get a hatchet you want to build your first home, but before you can do that you need to find a animal of some sort and some cloth. make a bed to start out it will save you in the long run. (carry extra beds if u explore Just incase you feel you might die place one) Once you have your minerals and mats as i forget how much stone and wood it will take get around 2k stone and 2k wood to make eithor a 1x1 or a 2x2 next section building guide.

Alright now i am not the best base builder, as i have been raided way to many times to tell you how to build your bases so go to youtube i reccomend 2 youtubes who will help you.
1-KCmoTV
2-DeanCentral
Both of these men are very good builders as i use their builds not all the time as i like to be creative. but if you like to be creative like me just forget about youtube and go wild.

Now this is a more complex subject if you are just starting disreguard this. Most raiders come in groups This section will continue into the clan section. Go light dont bring all your loot to a raid. if you are raiding create a small ♥♥♥♥ shack near by and carry your rockets in at about 5 at a time, only bring 1 gun, some ammo, (Attachments Optional), Extra bandages/Medical seringes. And dont bring all your C4 you should only bring as much C4 to go threw 1 wall at a time. Or if ur with a clan only have 1 person bring each item Rockets or C4.
Keep inmind if you are a starter you will eithor use satchels or granades as said go light. Base choosing as a starter- raid would be offline in a quite area say about a 2x2 to make most of ur materials back and hope for the best.

This is a grid/chart of the amount of explosive ♥♥♥♥ you need for walls and stuff.

Now this is really important and this all depends on your own opinion. I chose to run a clan with friends and sometimes people i dont know. you however should try and join a big trustable clan, most small clans are untrusted because of you going to them and then dieing because they where trolling. Rule#1 Of rust Never trust anyone, i have broke this rule all time but kos nacked's or if not they could have a weapon.

Alright as seen my specs are on my profile,I Have a very basic custom PC Rust on high settings Runs 10 FPS, Very slow for my likeing so i helped my self out by doing the following-
WILL BE EDITED LATTER

My stats are show here-
I Use many recoil Teqneicues By the boat load i am not that acurate but i tend to kill the average person with an ak. First of all any weapon you use will have recoil-Ak,Semi-Auto RIfle,
Semi Auto-Pistol,- There are to many to tell you them all but here is the list.-http://rust.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Weapons
I Like to crouch and use the enviorment to my advantage such as tress for cover and bushes, Crouching is gona help you always it reduces Verticle Recoil,Recoil in general, And sway. The muzle Brake helps alot especialy when in close combat, The only down side is the spread is encrased so long rnage combat with an ak is basicly imposible with it.
From here i will add a video of me testing out recoil on most guns mostly the AK and show u the attachments as well -Video Will be made tommorow-

This is what i bring but a little more ammo and a lot more meds.

Welp i guess this is the intro to bows and crossbows, anyone can get gud with the Crossy and bow,
it dosen't require skill only requires practice and accuracy

Some how this guide was the #1 guide on rust for the week of 2/25/17 thank u guys so much <3
more edits and new guides incoming
but on a real note lets get u guys them recordings

This is not as important as the others but people do this i reccomend if you stream or do youtube. Never show your location,game server,area,steam/player name. Doing this will protect you from random friend requests, people joining your server, and offline/online raiding you.

Most servers wipe on thursday for the weekly update. Meaning thursday is always end game on official servers so that is the day you use everything you have left or lose it all trying.

I put alot of work into this guide so please give it 5 stars.
Also vouch In the comments and tell me if i should add some stuff.(Im am willing to)
Thank you to all my contributors although they didn't make the guide, without them being in my clan for months on end this would not have been made.
