Rust wipe schedule

Two kinds of wipe are plotted here. The force wipe is fixed by the game: first Thursday of each month, 19:00 UTC. Everything else is set by server owners, and we plot what those servers actually did, not what they announce. Read the day and hour a server wipes before you plan a fresh start.

Questions

3 notes

01When is the next Rust force wipe?

The force wipe is the first Thursday of each month, at 19:00 UTC (20:00 UK time in summer). Facepunch releases the game update at that hour and every server restarts. The countdown on this page is measured against that fixed schedule; the force wipe time page lists the dates.

02Which day do most Rust servers wipe?

The heatmap over the past weeks shows the days and hours servers actually used. Thursday is the busiest day in the recorded set, counted from 37,544 servers rather than from owner claims. The busiest hours cluster where each server's home region is in the evening.

03How often do Rust servers wipe?

Both rhythms are plotted: weekly and biweekly servers, plus monthly servers that follow the force wipe only. The distribution above is counted from the recorded wipes, so it changes as servers change their schedules. A server's own interval is shown on its server page.
