All expected changes coming with the Rust console force wipe for October 2025

Rust console force wipe for October 2025 definitely has quite a bit of new content in store for the community. The latest teasers from the developers have definitely sparked some interest among the masses, and considering how quickly it's catching up to Rust PC's development, we are definitely excited about the upcoming force wipe.

That said, here's a look at the expected changes coming with the Rust console force wipe for October 2025:

Blueprint and Map wipe

First and foremost, with the debut of a force wipe, players' progress on all community and official servers will be wiped clean. This includes Scrap progression, learnt blueprints, and of course, the strongholds that you might have established in different servers.

All maps will be wiped clean, and as soon as the latest force wipe goes live, new maps will be procedurally generated for all servers. Each map will feature it's very own layout, adding a touch of freshness to different servers.

New Monument - Abandoned Military Base

Judging from the latest teasers, we are expecting to see Double Eleven and Facepunch Studios introduce the Abandoned Military Base in Rust console. This monument is generally located in the desert, and is arguably one of the best places you can farm components and Scrap in-game. This monument is also known for its incredible HQM spawns, and is definitely one of the best places you can establish your base around in-game.

New Gear - Drones

The latest trailer also indicates that the Rust console force wipe for October 2025 will potentially feature the addition of drones in the game. Players will be able to control them using a remote controller, and these can be used as a surveillance and recon tool in-game.
