Rust Update 119
Posted July 21, 2016 by Rust Blog ‐ 3 min read
This week’s update brings a ton of fixes related to the new XP System update and gameplay in general. There are also a bunch of optimizations this week to graphics and the sentry gun now unlocks much earlier at level 18 instead of 24. Overall it looks like a solid update worth of fixes and optimizations to make grinding out the new XP system more enjoyable. Have fun out there Rustafarians!
