GRUBZ 2X

How to join GRUBZ 2X on Rust Console

You cannot type an address into Rust Console. You find a community server by name on PS5 or Xbox, so the only thing you really need from this page is the word to search for.

Search GRUBZ in the community server browser. We show up as GRUBZ 2X | SOLO DUO TRIO QUAD | NO OFFLINE RAIDS (ZORP) | 2X GATHER+LOOT | INSTANT CRAFT | 3X SMELT+STACK.

  1. You need Rust Console Edition

    Any copy on PS5 or Xbox. Crossplay is on, so it does not matter which one you own, and it does not matter which one your friends own — you will be in the same game together.

  2. Open the community server browser

    Community servers are a separate list from the official ones. Official servers are wiped and run by Facepunch; everything on this page only exists on the community list.

  3. Search GRUBZ

    One word, no number. The full name in the list is long and starts with it, so searching the whole thing is more typing and more ways to get it wrong. If you filter first, we are Crossplay and US East.

  4. Join, and pick a beach

    You spawn on the coast with a rock and a torch. Say "I need Wood" on the quick chat and a free kit lands in your inventory — tools, a bow, a burlap set, once every two hours, no purchase. There is no queue unless the server is full.

What you are walking into

Enough to know whether it is your kind of server before you spend an evening on it.

Rates
2x gather, 2x loot, 3x stacks and instant craft. Fast enough to get a base up on your first night, slow enough that the wipe still lasts.
Offline raid protection
You have to switch it on, once. Stand inside your base, use the “Can I build here?” quick chat, and answer Yes when chat asks. That marks your base as a protected fort; it arms 30 minutes after your whole team logs off, and from then on nobody can raid you while you are all offline.

Three things worth knowing. You get one fort per team — say the phrase at a new base and answer Yes to move it there. It reaches 45m from where you stood, so say it in the middle of the base. And it expires after a week (chat warns you the day before) and after every wipe, so put it back.
Teams
Up to 4. Building and turret authorisation is capped at 4 as well, so nobody is quietly running a zerg.
Region
Miami, US East, 100 slots, crossplay between PS5 and Xbox.
Next wipe
Thursday, October 29 at 2:00 PM CDT — map and blueprints. The front page carries a live countdown.
Almost no night
50 minutes of daylight to 3 of dark. On console you cannot lift the gamma, so night is just a torch making you a target — here it is over before it starts.
Events
Bradley and the patrol helicopter are both on. Airdrops every 12 min, 7-10 PM CT, every night. Halloween is on through Nov 5: scarecrows, portal dungeons and Halloween pickups.

Cannot find it, or it will not let you in? Ask in the Discord — an admin will get you on. The rules and command list are worth two minutes before your first session.
