I came across a couple of Russian fellas (the game has voice chat that activates as you get close to other players) and while I didn’t understand what they were saying, I knew not to stick around. Most of my deaths were from players who were obviously better equipped, so it felt a bit like bullying. Make no mistake – this game is full of wankers. Gradually fleshing out your inventory with more capable gear seems to be the way forward in Rust: Console Edition, and while I didn’t manage to kit myself out with a full armoury of machine guns and grenades, I did see some who had put in the work and survived long enough to become the villains of the game.
