Post #1Okay so five nights ago, I was playing Rust. I'd started building my first base... 5 steel doors to get in.
I'd finally got use to dying, learnt the limits of the character and mechanics, and got use to navigating my way around the map using landmarks.
Constantly going out and farming ores and killing zombies for blueprints. At one point, as it fell night.... 8 guys in full Kevlar swooped in and surrounded me. Fortunately I had seen them coming and quickly dequipped my M4 and held up my axe, removing my clothing so I looked like a fresh spawn.
I shat myself over voice and said "woah, don't shoot, I'm a bambi". They said it was sweet, they weren't going to shoot me, and they headed off to the ocean cliffs, towards my home!
I followed them, keeping back a distance, then lost sight of them. I started sprinting home, turned a blind corner and ran straight into two of them who were playing 'lookout'. They immediately stammered "Don't follow us!" and shot warnings at my feet as I zig zagged away.
Thinking 'shit, I need to get home so I can defend if if they raid, I went the long way around, and figured I could circle them and get home. I got there... 50 metrer in pitch darkness away from my home, too fearful to use a torch else they'd see it. I made a sprint through the 50 metre clearing... all that was between me and safety.
pop pop pop pop pop.... gunfire everywhere, from one of them who must have been scouting ahead. Health dropped to 20%, constantly mashing the bandage button to stop myself from bleeding out. One more hit and I was gone.
Fortunately, being sneaky, I had a wooden door to my base, which makes it hard to see where the entry is, so I zig zagged my ass off towards that door, as he wouldn't know where I was heading... opened the door, POP, bullet in my back... 5% HP and one bandage left. Quickly shut the door behind me... PHEW.
continued....
Edited:
Praying that the guy that shot at me was just some random, but fearing the worst, I quickly ate some stocks of food and regained my health. Went through the 5 interior steel doors I had, being the only entry point to my stocks. I had left a shotgun with plenty of shells in my storage boxes for a special occasion like this. I armed up, unfortunately only had radiation boot blueprints and cloth armour, put those on, and prepared for the worst.
Crouched in the darkness within the safety of of my deepest room, no fires, with my shotgun in hand, sitting quietly so they couldn't hear my location...
Suddenly... footsteps... fuck loads of them. Swarming all around my base. KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, as an axe starts chopping away at my first exterior door. Heart pumping I yell over voice "hahaha, you're gonna be there for a while, 150 hits with an axe to take down that door!".
The chopping intensifies. I hear about 4 axes hitting the door at once. Shit.
Still hearing footsteps on my roof and around the exterior trying to find a way in, I prepare my defense and quietly move through 4 of my steel doors, only sitting behind one. One steel door between me and certain death of 8 bandits.
continued....
Edited:
CRASH, down goes the wooden door. Never heard a door break before... gave me the shits. Heart racing.
I laugh over voice as they encounter the first steel door... "lel! Enjoy the next hour getting through this one, I'm just gonna sit here and craft more ammo if you don't mind"... cheekily, as I spray some rounds from my M4 against the steel door so they know I have automatic weapons and I'm not going to go down without a fight.
They're communicating with each other, but not through in game voice... organised... hatching their plan...
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....*
<continued>
Edited:
FUCK! C4! I fucking knew it this defense was going to be too easy.
It's okay... I think to myself, C4 is in short supply... unless they are hacking duping scum... They still have 4 doors to get through, so I retreat back to the third as the approach the next.
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....*
.... awww fuck.
BOOM! Down goes the door as I retreat back to the second.
I have to think intelligently here...
I go running through my base opening and closing the steel doors, probably 10 times in total, leaving space in between to emulate the distance of running between doors. They'd all think I had far too much defense, and it would be too much effort to get in.
Things go silent....
<continued>
Edited:
Success!! I think to myself. They now think I've got at least 10 doors between me and them.
Things are too silent for too long... I hear the crunch of a couple of footsteps, mistaken ones made by turning your character, not actually moving.... hmmm... what are they up to?
Suddenly....
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....*
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....*
DOUBLE C4, from multiple directions. They've decided to break in through multiple entry points to try and avoid too many doors.
CRASH, goes a wooden wall, BOOM, goes another steel door.
Here I am... them at the second to last door, me behind the final one, and only 1 more wall from the other angle before they get visibility on me...
Edited:
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....*
This is it.... crouched in the corner with all my stock and workbenches etc... hidden from view from the side they are coming through the wooden walls... and directly in front of me the final steel door.
*tick tick tick tick*
Only 1 C4 this time... on the steel door.
BOOM, it goes down. Nothing but 1 steel door between me and them. By the sound of footsteps, it sounded like most of them were on the wall side. I'm thinking there's only one or two guys at the last steel door... that'd be my best chance of survival. Take those two out... then maze around and get a few of them in the back with my shotty if I can reload fast enough...
Edited:
Calculated everything like the Sherlock Holmes movies. This is how it was going to pan out... the end was uncertain, but I was going to execute my plan flawlessly...
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick....* on the wooden wall. I'm going to have to make a move... I'm going to have to make a move, I can't just sit here like a duck...
CRASH... goes the wooden wall... they can now see directly into the room where I'm sitting... except they can't see me... I'm hidden behind some storage containers.
Before the crash of that wall, I wildly swing open the steel door infront of me, one guy... crouched, must of had a lapse of judgement and was facing the noise of the ticking C4... not at the door.... dumbass.... <continued>
Edited:
I fire a shotty shell into his head... down he goes!
Only 1? One guy on that side?
As he must be screaming at his clan that he's down... down goes the wooden wall and they open fire madlessly.... so... many... gun shots....
They fired into an empty room
I quickly flank them through the rest of my base and take 3 of them out, ducking in and out of cover before they mow me down.
Before I go down... I notice one guy in... nothing. Naked, carrying nothing but a rock... WTF... <continued>
Edited:
Fortunately, I had 2 sleeping bags. If they destroyed one to prevent me from spawning immediately back... they wouldn't have suspected a second.
I spawn back 2 minutes later, to give them time to take my stuff and clear out, to find my storage boxes mostly empty... that's okay. Not fussed about that, I can farm more...
I look around the damage done to my base and sigh... so much metal required to rebuild. Oh well, at least I still have my base...
<continued>
Edited:
Across global chat from one of the bandits...
"fuck that was scary..."
They had been silent this whole time... I can only imagine what they were thinking as they took down each wall and door... wondering which one I'd be sitting behind, and what I was equipped with. I chuckled a bit to myself, thankful it was over... I only lost my stuff.
Out of stocks... I decide I should start the rebuild. I craft myself an axe and start heading out to farm resources. Less than 10 metres out my door... a bandit says "That place is yours now, <name>.
Wondering WTF... are they talking about my place?? ...
Edited:
Immediately the naked guy I saw earlier comes out from behind some rocks and meets me face to face... "I hear you got raided".
Full with rage... armed with an axe, knowing this guy only has a rock... "LIKE HELL you're taking my base"! I fly with hell's fury at him with my axe and lay a few hits....
He whips out a fucking pistol from his diaper and fires wildly at me... missing with every shot... for about 40 seconds I'm chasing him around my base with axe in a zig zag motion avoiding his gunfire... he gets me a couple of times, and unfortuantely the bandages you spawn with weren't enough to save me.
I go down. Dead.
I respawn immediately, knowing he's gotta be low on HP... I spawn on my second sleeping bag, no one there... he's gotta be close by. Shit... I've only got a rock. Oh well... I'll have to take him by surprise...
Edited:
I walk into the next room... his head is down, beating away at my first sleeping bag trying to destroy it with the axe he just looted from me.
I charge the asshole with my rock, lay 2 hits to the head before he whips out his pistol and shoots me dead again.
Bastard must have eaten my chicken....
I respawn in the wildnerness, unable to spawn at base due to respawn time restraints ... and I hurl my ass sprinting as fast as I can to base. 5 minutes later... I get there, rock in hand, ready to beat this guys ass into oblivion...
Edited:
I walk through 3 blown doors in my base, and then... hit a fucking door!!? WTF?! He's put a door up in my base! I can't open a door that's not mine!! I can't take it down without C4!!
I quickly rush around to the blown walls and gain entry that way. I catch him off guard and beat him to a bloody pulp.
HA! VICTORY IS MINE!
I take his pistol, my axe, MY CHICKEN... and start contemplating my future base plans, how to work around his door which I can't open until I obtain some C4... and head back out. I get no further than 4 footsteps outside my base....

POP FUCKING POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP
Shot dead from multiple angles from the same bandits sitting all along the cliffline of my base.
I look at the death screen... I look at the respawn button...
I am defeated. I have lost everything. I don't want to start again. It will just happen again, for as long as there are servers with hacking wankers.
Edited:
And that, my fellow Rusties.... is how I quit rust and have not played since.
I want to play, but I can't bring myself to do it until duping and aimbotting (confirmed) is resolved.
Edited:
In B4 "Sore loser".... I don't mind losing... that experience was awesome and exhilarating... I haven't felt so part of an experience in a game for a long time. It was awesome.
What killed it for me was that it was via illegitimate means (confirmed by server admin who knew the clan in question was duping, based on reports of other players who witnessed them doing it.

You did a great job there. Dont give up and try again. Exactly this is the game how it should be played.
Sorry, havent seen your last two edits there.
Cheating scum everywhere. But still just try another server. There are servers out there where are not that much cheaters (or none) present. These fuckers cant be everywhere right? :-D
-
Well done! I liked the story
When do you plan on making the movie?
-
haha yeah, it would have made an awesome "Lets Play" on YouTube. Sadly I wasn't recording.
Like I said... it was exhilarating at the time, such a good experience. I had only just started playing (8 hours game time in total), and witnessed other players stating how they had been raided... I knew I had to prepare for it with my first base build.... and the fact that I had prepared for it with multiple doors and munitions stocks made it feel like a really great stand-off, and despite the defeat, I still felt accomplished and learnt a lot from the experience and what I could do next time.
At the moment I'm just in the "why bother" stage... with glitchers etc. So I'll keep an eye on how the game develops and progresses to negate these threats.

Cool story bro, seriously cool story :)
I don't care if you died champ, you stood your ground and tactically wiped the floor with those scrubs.
-
awesome story! hate that crap too, i'm thinking about throwing in the towel

Just find a less populated server and start over.... If you persevere you will eventually have a nice base.
I'm currently playing on a server with an average of 10-20 players, plenty of room to hide a secondary base to start out from and then build your main. And still keep your secondary supplied in case of an attack.
the "That place is yours now" Is indeed lame.... Building a house costs a lot of resources for the foundations, walls and ceilings, not to mention the metal doors.
While building only 1 guy killed me when I wasn't paying attention, sneaking about I managed to gather plenty of resources, make a gun, some rounds learn some crafting recipes.... and all in 1 evening.
Now all I have to do is maintain my base, explore, maybe find raid targets, and above all, have fun. (Untill a cheater/glitcher comes by of course)
What strikes me how some people gang up upon players who haven't even made a furnace yet and destroy everything instead of going after high value targets. Happened to me once, they even claimed to be "the good guys". Still they destroyed my sleeping bag and I had to start from scratch (Which is annoying as hell if you have to get a sleeping bag again, animals don't stand still when you hit them :< )
-
The best part was " Immediately the naked guy I saw earlier comes out from behind some rocks and meets me face to face... "I hear you got raided". " haha
-
Makes me wonder about the story of the lad who decided to raid my first Rust house a week after I made it...and found nothing but split paper in every box. ;)
I've noticed a few community servers with actual active admins actually banning cheaters on the spot...recommend people cycle through PvP Friendly community servers.
On another note: I just watched my 10x10 metal foundation area disappear (nothing but foundation).
-
What does your neat little story have to do with cheaters or dupers?
You were greatly outnumbered, sucks but happens. It's extremely unlikely to win any 1vs8 firefight where your enemies got better armor than you do. Large groups communicating in TeamSpeak etc. are able to observe and attack wide areas perfectly legit in case they're well organised.
You didnt mention anything about suspicious movements, prefiring, insane accuracy or something like that, did you?
I'm all against cheaters but please refuse from such accusations when you were simply outplayed.
Another point, if they would've been duping, it wouldve taken them around 30 seconds to get through your cute 5 metal doors. Just saying.
/e: sorry missed the point that these guys were caught duping, alright. Even though most dupers I witnessed wouldnt have bothered to blow if all off in less than a minute, so its kinda questionable to me if these guys had unlimited stocks of C4 on that incident.
-
I really liked the story, but this shouldn't stop you from keep playing!! We've all been raised here and there, trust me it's happened to me many times and I've had to start over and I've lost count. Now I'm in a server with no hackers, fully supply's and ready for a raid.
-
Read his last edits. It says the admin knew they were duping. They are illegitimate players.
-
This story is awesome!
I understand your frustration, but what a tale!
However, this is how it will work, even if the hacks get fixed, big group will almost always wipe out a single guy...
We all need friends?
