Push a button to make it rain missiles in the new Rust update

Rust's November replace will give gamers a brand new purpose to look at the skies, as a result of after right this moment these skies is likely to be full of as much as a dozen rockets screaming towards your base and/or face. The November replace provides navy bases to the map, and every base has a missile-launching automobile that can be utilized to rain loss of life and destruction onto a particularly focused space.

“The brand new Desert Navy Base monuments every have a parked A number of Launch Rocket System (MLRS),” says Facepunch Studios. “This automobile doesn't transfer—you gained't be driving it across the map—however it may be set as much as fireplace rockets to any goal. Besides secure zones, naturally.”

You’ll be able to't simply run right into a base and hammer a giant crimson launch button, nonetheless. You'll have to first discover an MLRS arming module, which might be in a locked, hackable crate someplace on the bottom. You then'll want to gather the missiles themselves, which is able to seem in elite, APC, and assault helicopter crates. When you've loaded up on missiles, you'll use the focusing on display screen to select a location on the map, which we're guessing might be one other participant's base. Or maybe your personal base, should you really feel like redecorating.

Then you’ll be able to hammer the large crimson launch button. No worries if there are mountains between you and your goal: these rockets fly excessive sufficient to swoop over them. The system doesn't have pinpoint precision: all of the rockets launched will land contained in the focused circle, however could also be scattered round and never all grouped into the middle, so should you're underneath missile assault no less than there's an opportunity you'll survive and your base gained't get fully destroyed. Fingers crossed.

Missiles launched from the MLRS will also be countered by surface-to-air missile websites. “A full barrage of 12 rockets will solely be partly repelled by two SAM websites, and fully fought off by three,” says Facepunch. There's a 10-minute cooldown between launches from the MLRS.

As for the brand new navy bases, they're procedurally generated and can seem in several configurations on each map, and can change after every server wipe. Along with the MLRS, every base will comprise loot, oil, and might be guarded by NPC scientists. Discover out extra concerning the November replace on the Rust blog.
