## What is Rust+?

The official Rust companion app from Facepunch Studios – stay connected to the game so you never miss an important moment again. Coordinate with your team, receive alerts when you’re being raided, remotely set off traps, and more!

Requires the Rust game - available on macOS and PC. Rust Console Edition is not supported at this time.

PAIR WITH YOUR SERVERS
Pair with your favorite Rust servers to receive real-time updates for the things that matter the most: player counts, current game time, online teammates, and more. You’ll also get (optional) push notifications whenever one of your teammates joins the game.

EXPLORE THE MAP
View the full server map to find points of interest, see where your teammates are and check on vending machines. You can also track ongoing events like the attack helicopter and cargo ship.

KEEP UP WITH YOUR TEAM
Communicate with your team from anywhere to just catch up or plan for your next raid. Messages are visible in both the app and the in-game team chat so you can seamlessly switch between the two.

CONTROL YOUR IN-GAME DEVICES
Connect Smart Switches and Smart Alarms to your in-game electrical contraptions and pair them with Rust+ to control them remotely at any time. Smart Switches let you turn things on or off, and Smart Alarms send customizable push notification alerts when an electrical signal is detected.

GET THE LATEST RUST NEWS
Get notified about new Rust blogs and news so you can stay on top of the latest updates, or catch up on older blogs you may have missed.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-15, version 0.32*

Tried for over an hour to set it up so I wouldn’t get offline raided and it wouldn’t connect to the server and the instructions are outdated the menu has changed and I’m sorry to say but it feels like the developers are become lazy with the game and app sadly I wish this would change

### 1/5 — Make a console version of rust+

*2026-07-23, version 0.32*

It seems a little unfair that pc players can have this app bc of steam, maybe try making a separate app or other login method for console.

### 1/5 — Broken again

*2026-07-14, version 0.32*

Still poor after all this time.

### 5/5 — Fecepunch

*2026-07-04, version 0.32*

Hello facepunch Studios I didn't like the update with the change of characters I want to ask if there will be servers with old characters I've been watching your project for a long time and would like to play with old characters

### 3/5 — Plz

*2026-06-14, version 0.32*

Plz add rce to it plzz

### 4/5 — Honest opinion

*2026-06-13, version 0.32*

Good app but I would love to see improvements to drone turret and cameras

### 5/5 — Does everything it should

*2026-06-09, version 0.32*

The app overall is well designed and balanced for rust. I wish could have access to outpost cameras but that’s kinda pointless as the cameras on the app are nerfed it seems with quality. I would also like to be able to do some of the mini games just because I like the rust styled slot machine and black jack.

### 2/5 — Only good for alarms

*2026-06-03, version 0.32*

Tbh this had potential, it did… now? Well now it’s just good for alarms..

### 1/5 — CCTV In Alpha YEARS Later

*2026-05-22, version 0.32*

Make the CCTV cam quality better. Its been years in alpha ffs

### 1/5 — Can’t make an account…

*2026-04-07, version 0.32*

Can’t even make an account it just goes to the sign in page no matter what. I’ve tried so many times.
