Rustlands runs a regular wipe rotation so the map and economy stay
fresh. Here's the schedule, what wipes, and what carries over to the
next cycle.
The schedule
Main 2x — map wipes every Thursday. Blueprints wipe the first
Thursday of the month.
Hardcore 1x — same as Main: weekly map wipe, monthly BP wipe.
5x Quick-wipe — map + BPs wipe twice a week (Sunday + Thursday).
No blueprint carry-over by design — the loop is fast.
Build-arena — never wipes. Pure creative.
All wipes happen at 18:00 UTC unless Facepunch's Rust force-wipe
shifts them — first Thursday of the month is the global force-wipe and
we wipe with it.
What wipes
- Map — terrain, monuments, all loot, all bases. Fresh start.
- Player profiles (every wipe) — kills, deaths, in-server XP if
enabled.
- Blueprints — only on monthly BP wipes for Main/Hardcore. The 5x
servers wipe BPs every map wipe (it's part of the "quick" loop).
What carries over
- Skins from your Steam inventory and from Rustlands skin boxes.
- VIP / supporter perks tied to your Steam ID — e.g. priority
queue, /home cooldowns. These don't reset.
- Linked accounts — Discord ↔ Steam links stay linked. No need to
re-link after wipe.
- Tickets, ban records, mute records — kept across wipes (these
follow your account, not the map).
Finding the next wipe time
The countdown banner on /servers updates live and shows the next
wipe per server. Discord also pings `#announcements` 2 hours before
each wipe with a checklist (loot up, log out clean, etc.).
Tip: plan your last raid for the morning of the wipe — anything still in your base at 18:00 UTC is gone.
