HAPPY HOLIDAYSFrom everyone at Facepunch, we’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The Christmas Event is once again live!If you’re new to the island, here’s what you can expect:As you play, you will start to hear the distinct sound of jingle bells. As soon as you do, leave the warm comfort of your base and start looking for your gifts!Two gifts are spawned per player, in a radius of about 40m from you.Run up and bash open your present to receive your Christmas gift.They come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. But if you have enough small presents stashed, you can ‘trade up’ to a medium or large gift.The contents of each present varies, but you’ll find a mix of resources, weapons, and Christmas candy.This year, you’ll still be able to find Santa hats and reindeer antlers, both of which can be worn and provide a decent amount of protection. And the lickable candy cane club is back! As well as two types of stockings.If you hang a stocking inside your base when the jingle bells ring, the stocking will fill up with loot whether you’ve been good or not – no coal here!The larger stocking has a higher chance for better items and both last around 5-10 refills.The advent calendar also returns and is a craftable deployable, available to everyone during the Christmas event.Once placed, you can claim an in-game surprise once every in-real-life day from the 16th of December.The Christmas event ends on January 1st @ 19:00GMT / 14:00ESTMake it a December to remember!XMAS WALLPAPERS ITEM DLCUnrolling to the limited store this month are three festive wallpapers, specially designed to bring peace and joy to you and the grub just outside your door.There’s one wallpaper each for floors, ceilings and walls. Wall – Assorted GiftwrapFloor – Red Festive Floor TilesCeiling – Moulded Plaster This one sparkles!RUSTMAS STOREAs well as the new festive wallpapers, this year, we have brought back some items from previous festive periods for players to enjoy again – all now purchasable from the Rust Item Store.RUSTMAS DROPS ON TWITCH AND KICKHave you been naughty or nice this year?Well, it doesn’t matter because as part of our ongoing commitment to creators, we’re pleased to unveil Drops on Rustmas – on both Twitch and KICK!December 18th – January 1st will see 4 Category wide drops!TWITCH DROPSKICK DROPSAll you need to do is check out anyone streaming Rust this festive period, and you can bag yourself some sweet Christmas themed Twitch/Kick Drops to make sure you and your base look festive this December and January. Rustmas on Twitch and Kick starts now and ends 7PM GMT / 2PM EST on January 1st. RUST x CAN BE – BACKPACK & CHARMSWhat happens when you mix the brutal world of Rust with a heritage brand?You get the ultimate loot bag.We are proud to announce our collaboration with Can Be.
