Questions
When do Rust servers wipe?
All servers wipe at the force wipe on the first Thursday of each month at 19:00 UK time (18:00 UTC), when Facepunch releases the game update. Between force wipes, each server sets its own rhythm, usually weekly, biweekly or monthly. The heatmap above shows the days and hours they actually choose.
What time do most Rust servers wipe?
The heatmap is built from recorded wipe times and shows the busiest hour. That is usually an evening in the server's home region, so players can be online for the fresh start. UK time is UTC in winter and one hour ahead in summer.
What is the busiest wipe day?
Across the servers tracked, Thursday is the busiest wipe day right now. Force wipe Thursday and the days around it carry the most wipes, with Friday and Saturday also common. The weekly heatmap shows the full picture.
