When choosing a server in Rust, there is a lot to consider. Servers can have mods, multipliers, or just be your basic, vanilla Rust server. There’s really not a great way to rank servers – it just depends what you’re looking for! So here is a list of 10 Rust servers that seem interesting for various reasons.

10. [US] Facepunch Small

    This is an official server which has a smaller map size and population limit. It wipes once per month and might appeal to players who prefer a slower paced game style. There’s less chance of running into big clans on this server due to the small population size.

What’s awesome about this server:

• The map is procedural so you never know where things will be located each new wipe.
• The small map size and population make it easier to run and less likely to encounter big clans.
• It is an official server with vanilla settings, so you’ll find it to be stable and slow paced.

Server Details:

• IP: 54.39.130.115:28015
• Player limit: 150
• Vanilla: Yes

9. [US West] Facepunch 1

    Here is another official server, but this one has a larger map and population size. It also has a procedural map and monthly wipe cycle. Oh, and like any official server it will have vanilla settings.

What’s Awesome About This Server:

• The map is procedural and there is never the same map.
• It’s a four-week wipe cycle.
• Vanilla servers tend to be slower paced and more realistic.

Server Details: 

• IP: 8.26.94.6:28015
• Player limit: 250
• Vanilla: Yes

8. CombatTag's PvP Server | North America

This is not your typical server – far from it. This server is designed to hone your PVP skills. You will spawn with a full kit of weapons and ammo, armor, and meds. You’ll then be expected to fight all the other players to the death!

What’s Good About This Server:

• Instant respawns.
• Little to no focus on building, crafting, or farming.
• Gives you experience with pretty much every gun in the game.

Server Details:

• IP: 66.70.181.67:28015

7. Rustoria.co – US Main

This is a very popular server and with a HUGE population. It allows 500 players online at a time! This makes for a very hectic experience indeed, especially because the map is about the size of the normal US Facepunch servers.

What’s Good About This Server:

• It allows a ton of players online.
• It wipes every week, making it harder for clans to get way ahead.
• There are active admins.

Server Details:

• IP: vanilla.rustoria.us:28015
• Player limit: 500
• Vanilla: No

6. Rusticated.com – US Main

Here is yet another popular server with a large population size of up to 450 people at a time. This map size is even smaller than the previous servers, making for what is probably going to be a very cozy base situation for anyone who builds on this map.

What’s Good About This Server:

• A ton of players allowed at a time.
• Good uptime.
• Weekly wipes but blueprints wipe only once per month.

Server Details:

• IP: 206.71.159.131:28015
• Player limit: 450
• Vanilla: No

5. [US] UKN.GG - Training Grounds - Main

    Here is another combat training server. This one is quite popular and allows up to 400 players online at a time. That makes for some real madness, especially when you realize everyone starts with guns and equipment!

What’s Good About This Server:

• Instant, crazy combat.
• No having to think about farming or building.
• Hone your PVP skills!

Server Details:

• IP: 208.103.169.198:28015

2. Rust Empires - Roleplay/RP friendly, Cities, PVE, No KOS outsid

1. [US] RustAcademy.net 5X No BPs [Loot+/Shop/Kits] JUST WIPED

For a nice balance between the regular grind of Rust and the insanity of a 10x farm server, this 5x server from a popular Rust youtuber should do the trick. Like the other multiplier server, all the blueprints are unlocked right off the bat.

What’s Good About This Server:

• Easy to farm
• Not too easy though
• Blueprints already unlocked

Server Details:
