Welcome to the Salty Zombies RUST Purge events. On the last day of each wipe, PVE is turned off, and players can kill each other and raid the bases before they get wiped the next day. This is a great time to experience RUST PVP without worrying about any consequences since everything is reset the next day anyway.
In addition, there are special PVP events organized and run by community members. Below is an explanation of each event and instructions on how to join and prepare. There is also an essential rules section for each event, so please take a moment to study them to avoid any confusion.

Ducktape Hunters
The SZ RUST teams have devised an end-of-wipe event called Ducktape Hunters, comprised of multiple teams fighting it out in a battle arena in the search of Duct Tape. Each team has a spawn area that can be accessed outside the Better Outpost. Inside the battle area are boxes with Ducktape. Your team must run around the arena shooting the enemy team, trying to find as much Ducktape as possible. You can run back to your spawn area, which is a safe zone, and deposit the Ducktape. The enemy can shoot you and loot the Ducktape from your body. There are 50 pieces of Ducktape spread across the arena.
How to Join?
If you are on the USA server, you can contact Pleb or Morgran. If you are playing on the EU server, you can contact Dimi or IamB. They will add you to the list and assign you to a team. Please only request to join if you are 100% sure you can attend and be there for the entire event.
How to Win?
The team with the most ducktape deposited after the 2 hours wins. The event only lasts 2 hours or until all the duct tape has been safely deposited into the team's safe zones.
Rewards
For every ducktape deposit, 1,000 Salty Coins will be awarded and divided among that team. The team with the most ducktape will get an additional 10,000 Salty Coins added to split among the team.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
You need to come 100% naked, with nothing on your character and nothing in your backpack besides multiple beds. Throw a bunch of beds around the area in the image below. 1 bed and 1 bed only will be assigned to you inside the arena.
Inside the Arena
Once you enter the area from your team portal, you will be in your team's spawn safe zone. No enemy players are allowed here. 1 bed will be assigned here, and you will see lockers at one of the exits. Grab a kit and enter the arena. Kits are automatically replenished.
Ducktape Hunters Event Rules
Only use the Armor and Weapons Provided
Each event provides its own equipment to keep the playing field as equal as possible. You are not allowed to bring any guns, weapons, ammo or armour of your own.
Full Attendance Required
If you are signing up, you are signing up for the entire event, from start to finish. You can not come late or leave early and unbalance the teams. If you have something to do during this time, please don't put your name down. If you are unsure whether or not you can make it, you can put your name down on the reserve list.
Don't Be A Dick
The most important rule of all is don't be a dick. We hope all participants have common sense and respect for the organizers of these events, who have spent countless hours setting everything up for your enjoyment. We can't label and explain every aspect and action that will ruin the event or be considered cheating, like using the opposing team's portals, destroying beds, camping spawn points, being verbally toxic, exploiting a game glitch, not wearing your team colours, rendering killing, etc. Just enjoy the event and play how it's meant to be. Don't cheat and try manipulating the system or bend the rules.
Do Not Enter Other Teams Safe Zones
The other team's safe zone is the spawning point, where they enter the arena via the portal. This is a no-go zone. If you are caught in here and spawn camping, you will be removed from the event and possibly the server altogether. These areas are easily identifiable as the walls are the opposing colours.
Do not PVP each other at the Portal entrance.
Outside of Better Outpost is where you put your beds down and enter the arena. No, PVP is allowed here.
RUST Purge EVENT FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
I want to join but I gotta go after 45 minutes, can still attend?
Unfortunately, these events are team-based, and fairness requires equal numbers. If you only have time for half the event, you will leave your team with a considerable disadvantage, leading to a less-than-positive experience.
Does it cost anything?
No, these events are open to all participants.
What happens if someone breaks the rules?
If it's genuinely by accident, then a simple penalization for that player's team or a Salty Coin penalty for that player. If it's on purpose and depending on the severity of the disruption, it could lead to complete team disqualification and a player banned from SZ Servers.
Admin Preparation Notes
Dividing teams will be done automatically using the Team Picker, and then a team leader will be selected from the selection.
Need to protect arena from being blown up during purge:
/zone_add - Do this whilst in the middle of the building, not flying above it. Then, while inside the zone type /zone flags. A UI will show up, and if you want to enable "undestr", you can also set "nodecay" if need be. To increase the radius of the zone, type /Zone Radius followed by the number. The default is 20. Example /zone radius 45
