Place a sleeping bag with a hidden stash nearby. If you can find a pig to kill, this is preferable, but you're more likely to run into people. Getting your calories above 100 allows you to regenerate health quickly when near a fire and gives you an important advantage over all of the other Newmans in the area competing for the same resources.
If you can find a body or a sleeping person, kill him and harvest the human meat. You need one spear to kill with, one spear to throw, a campfire to cook up meat and bring your health up, a bow and arrows to defend yourself, and stone tools to begin gathering resources.Ĭannibalism is essential to survive the first 10 minutes. Even if you win such a fight, you'll take a few hits that'll negatively effect your survivability.Ĭraft in this order: spear, spear, campfire, bow, arrows, stone hatchet, stone pickaxe. If someone tries to start one, just run away. There is no reason to fight when all you have is a rock and a torch. Try and get some weapon BPs (crossbow is a great mid-level weapon), tool BPs (hatchet is nice but not necessary to have), armor BPs (it's nice to have wood armor), and it's always nice to have a few extra BPs for later game.ĭon't get into a stupid rock fight. Absolutely essential is the large box, which is especially important for solo players because of the lack of space inside small homes. When you find a nice server you want to play in, spend some time as a naked running to the nearest rad town, grabbing BP fragments, and researching and learning basic BPs before you die. Spend some time as a naked acquiring basic BPs. Feel free to start a discussion on good solo tactics. I'm sure plenty of people have differing opinions or corrections. The guide assumes a general knowledge of the basics like crafting, research, BPs, and what tools to use for what. I've got 1300 hours and three years of experience in Rust, so I started writing and eventually came up with this guide.
u/QuitCryingAboutIt recently asked for advice on playing as a solo player on the high population servers like Rustopia. UPDATE:: Thanks for whoever got me featured on the Devblog Community Update. UPDATE:: A new version of this guide is up at.
