The game will have a simplified mode on February 4

On February 4, Rust will introduce a new simplified mode, which the developers have dubbed "Softcore." This mode offers several differences from the main gameplay:

• Maximum team size has been reduced to 4 players.


• No more than 4 players can be logged into the cabinet.


• Players will be able to respawn at the Scientist Outpost and the Bandit Camp.


• Upon death, the player will not lose all loot, but will be able to save a random 50% of the inventory in safe zones (but armor will not be saved).


• On February 4th, official servers with Softcore mode will be launched.

It is important to note that this mode is separate and does not affect the standard gameplay. It provides the ability to create servers with simplified rules for those who prefer an easier game.

All changes related to the new mode are experimental and may be changed in the future.
