Already playing somewhere else?
If you are paying for VIP on another Rust Console server, we will give you the same thing here for nothing until the next wipe. Play both. Keep whichever one you actually log into.
Swarm VIP — normally $24.99/month — free until Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 PM CDT.
No card, nothing to cancel, and it does not roll into a subscription. When the wipe comes it simply stops.
What you actually get
Everything in Grub VIP, plus an MP5 and a Road Sign set. Claimable every 4 hours, for as long as the trial runs.

Chainsaw and jackhammer — the two tools that actually change your farm rate
Salvaged axe and icepick as backup, for when the fuel runs out
300 pistol ammo, 16 syringes, 400 cloth, 400 low grade
150 high quality metal and a small backpack
Advanced wood and ore teas
Where the server you are on beats us
Saying this first is cheaper than you finding it out on day two.
- Cooldowns
- Most servers run their mid VIP tier on a two-hour claim. Ours is 4 hours. That is the one number where a competing tier is straightforwardly better, and it is deliberate — see the store cap below.
- Queue priority
- Not included in the trial, because it comes from the purchase rather than the role. It is also worth nothing right now: the server is not full, so there is no queue to skip.
- Population
- We are new. If you want a server that is already full tonight, we are not it yet — the next map wipe on Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 PM CDT is when everybody starts together, which is the honest moment to turn up.
Where we beat them
One thing, and it is the reason the cooldown is longer.
- The store is capped
- No rifles. No shotguns. Nothing above an SMG, at any price. The most expensive thing we sell is $54.99, and it still tops out at an SMG — so the ceiling is the same for somebody who has spent nothing. You can get outplayed here. You cannot get outspent.
- Offline raid protection
- You can only be raided while you are online. You switch it on once, standing inside your base, with the “Can I build here?” quick chat — how that works.
- A free kit for everyone
- Not part of the trial and not something you have to ask for. Say “I need Wood” on the quick chat and 14 items land in your inventory, every 2 hours, forever, whether or not you ever spend a penny.
- The rest of it
- 2x gather, 2x loot, 3x stacks, instant craft, teams of 4, and nights that last 3 minutes.
How to take it
Join the Discord
Say you are switching, and where from
That is the whole application. We hand these out by name rather than by form, so there is nobody to email and nothing to fill in. Telling us which server you are coming from is genuinely useful to us and is not a test.
Run /link once, in Discord
It ties your Discord to your gamertag. Without it the server has no way to know the person saying the quick chat is the person holding the role.
Say “I need Metal Fragments” in game
On the quick chat, same as the free kit. The Swarm VIP kit arrives in your inventory, every 4 hours until Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 PM CDT.
There are 25 of these at a time, against 35 paid seats — so the people who pay for this tier stay the majority of it. When the trials are full, they are full until the wipe.
Not switching from anywhere, just found us? The free kit is still free and the join page is the one you want. The trial is only for people already paying somewhere else, because that is who this offer is trying to reach.
