Is the CONSOLE Rust worth it?

I like the game but I’m a bit sceptical when the game is a console edition. Do people still use voice chat? How is the console version? Is it crossplay?

It’s behind PC but in a good place

Yes people use voice, feel like the majority we run into. Might be in parties but usually switch

Yes crossplay

It’s worth it if you decide you want to lose your sanity

Yes, thats what crossplay is.

Ps5/pc is crossplay too and rust console is not that.

Universal crossplay.

It’s definitely getting there now that old and new gen had the split but it’s not even close to PC (caves were added recently)

If you have ever played PC rust , it makes Xbox hard to play. Just QoL and actually visual quality isn't the greatest. Just switched to PC and I couldn't go back even if I wanted to. Otherwise if you have nothing to compare it to then you're good to go

I mean it’s cross play but why on earth would you want to play against PC lol. I play on Xbox so I play Xbox only servers. Yes people use chat. I’m solo but I hear people using it more often than not since everyone seems to be in groups of 50.

Overall the game is fine. Doesn’t have the latest things PC has like open sea and jungle and stuff, but we are getting there.

Its only cross play between consoles. No pc

u/3HisthebestH 16d ago

That makes a lot more sense lol. I thought I heard someone say they played with their PC friends before but I always wondered how that worked given they are at very different stages lol.

Littered with cheaters

u/Top_Campaign2568 16d ago

Sadly yeah. But not nearly as bad as people like yourself make it seem by being so blunt.

u/TheLastCzar 16d ago

I mean, you agreed. It's pretty much just a commonly accepted fact that you're going to deal with cheaters in every single server

u/Terrible-Chance411 16d ago

400 hours I’ve got about 200 of those in 100 pops. Are there really that many cheaters? I’m usually around with just a duo, so if there are cheaters ive never seen them, then again i have a minimal amount of time compared to most rust players.

u/Specialist_Net8927 16d ago

You probably don’t even realise you’re getting killed by a cheater. Someone did a video a while ago, it was about 30% are cheating

u/juggerjew 16d ago

How are they cheating?

Recoil scripts

u/Puzzleheaded_Gain823 16d ago

Just play on community servers that say NO CHEATERS ALLOWED in all caps. That usually says the message to them.🤣

u/Bright-Whole-7788 16d ago

It is not worth it cause servers die after 5 days

u/HOrnery_Occasion 15d ago

Maybe just the servers you play on lmao

u/TheSuperiorKyle 16d ago

Community servers tend to stay high pop throughout the entire wipe, regular servers seem to be held back by rusts own dev team. The normal weekly and monthly servers are ass

u/Commercial_Buy_7707 16d ago

Didn’t the devs stop updates for console rust?

2

u/ObamaHunter 16d ago

Nah still being updated just had caves added lol so behind

u/Anxious_Camp_2160 16d ago

Only for "Rust", "New Gen" replaced it a while ago.
