Discover New Biomes and Features in Rust’s October 2024 Update

Rust’s October 2024 update brings some of the most significant changes to procedural map generation in years, introducing exciting new biomes, breathtaking landscapes, and unique points of interest. From fast-moving rivers to toxic villages, this update is sure to enhance your Rust experience!

Rivers

Fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping rivers are making their debut this October. These waterways start as small streams and widen into rapid rivers as they go through the map. You’ll be able to kayak and boogie board through the rivers, but watch out for road and railway crossings—you’ll need to get off and drag your gear around these obstacles. Whether you’re in it for the thrill or just cruising for a scenic ride, Rust’s new rivers are bound to become prime destinations for players.

Oasis

Get ready to find some lush surprises in the desert biome! The new Oases bring greenery and life to the arid landscape, perfect for farms in the desert. Each map spawns three oases, with different variants, adding a new survival edge for desert enjoyers.

Canyons

Deep, dramatic canyons are here! Build your base with a view as these towering landscapes become available in forest biomes. With multiple sides to scale and stunning cliffsides, these canyons offer both beauty and utility for players wanting to settle somewhere more secluded.

Lakes

Lakes A and B make their debut, offering a peaceful break from Rust’s harsher environments. These freshwater lakes are full of fish, ideal for players looking to live off the land. Occasionally, you’ll even spot rowboats along the shores—perfect for a peaceful paddle and some fishing.

Cliffs

Rust is bringing in new cliffs that serve not only as scenic points but also as great tactical locations. You’ll find new rock structures near the shorelines and scattered across the map, adding extra depth to the landscape. Climb to the top for unbeatable views or build your base around these stunning features!

Toxic Village

A mysterious and dangerous new monument has appeared: the Toxic Village. Packed with valuable loot and radioactive dangers, this location is set to be a player hotspot. Stay tuned for a full blog diving into all the details!

Water Wells

Water wells are getting a major update, turning into resource hubs with NPC shopkeepers and more. For a complete breakdown of what these new mini-monuments offer, we’ll be covering them in an upcoming blog!
