Post #1Hey guys!
So in my time on rust, I've found a few very well hidden spots amongst resources. My favorite being a small crevice in some rocks just on the outskirts of small rad town. In between the barn and entrance, to the right (when facing rad town entrance) you will see a lone tree, if you go there and crouch, you will see a small crevice in the rocks where you can build a very well situated but very well hidden base. (I'd post a screenshot but don't have too much time at the present moment)
So I was wondering, what places have you found that are close to resources, but extremely well hidden?
-
-
It might be a good spot to hide yourself / save some resources temporarily, but it won't last long. I'd move further away from those crowded spots.
This should help you: https://rustmap.net/
-
There are some spots in the hills which cover your house up to 75% (useful against C4 raids) and which are hard to find.
-
we have found a perfect one. but it will be a cold day in hell when i give away the location. Its large enough to build up a very substantial house or two. Even going up many floors. we are around 6-7 right now. Its off the beaten path so no one will accidentally happen upon it. And its also cramped enough where filling up the buildable foundation to prevent siege stair spots is easy. You cant see the campfires from anywhere except right infront of it. its a hop skip and a jump to both rad town and old rad town and a couple very well stocked resource fields. I cant think of one single con to being in this location. Perfectly hidden, well supplied, ample building room
-
While hiding your small houses might work for protection from honest players. Cheaters using ESP and other hacks will have your hiding place outlined in their information overlay and no amount of hiding will save you from that...
-
I build my shack once on a platform you couldn't get on except by putting down a sleeping bag and dieing. I used a crate to transport stuff in. It was 100% concealed, but got discovered when someone build a tower near.
-
Had my 1x1 shack built into rocks miles east of hacker valley. I thought I couldn't make it any more safer, was happy for days. All changed when i got really lucky and scored airdrop all to myself - which included precious explosives. With c4 and explosives BPs I was all set for good raiding times - no small feat for a lone player on 100+ server - only to be raided in less than 1 hour after i stored explosives in the shack - makes me wonder if my shack was always on the radar of hackers and they just didnt bother with travelling untill i had something good to take.
By the time i scraped enough materials to rebuild again - server had a wipe :\
-
I would suggest NOT TO log in on BREX's given rust map url. You might be giving your user name and password away.
Not saying that it's brex's url.
I tried logging in but it said wrong password or username. Changed my password really quick.
-
Omg! It's gone now. gg
Edit: But yea, don't if you don't trust it. It's not mine either so.. I don't care.
-
My base is just a bunch of crates. Much safer than any base you can build.
-
Use the Rust Map. Go over to Hacker Mountain South/North.
I think I have found that is a decent hidden spot, there are others, but there is quite the bit of mountains to hide in and it's far from the the Prime Spots in the game, near Zombies/Loot Drops.
-
I'm gonna try this! Gonna put small stashes in different hidden locations and see how it works out.
Edited:
Thanks for all your responses and tips guys!! Much appreciated :)
-
To the OP, that's one of my favorite hiding spots as well, also works well for towering up as it's very difficult/near impossible to staircase up the side of it, forcing people to go at it 1 floor at a time. you can build a 1x2 and, w/ careful foundation placement, place pillars (even though it'll look like they're in the rocks, which, they are :p) and build up from there. Super great spot.
My all time favorite though is up in the mountains between radtown valley and hacker valley, some rocks overlap and create a little cave, room for a 1x1 in there that's hidden in the shadows, so you have to be deliberately looking for just that spot to find it, otherwise it's barely noticeable. Great for starting out because you only have to build a foundation, a doorway and a door, the rest is sealed off by the mountain. Good place to hide out and gather supplies til you get enough to build a fortress.
Happy Rusting!
-
Sort of near split-rad on the outskirts of French Valley there's a little gap in some rocks that open up to a perfect hideaway for a 1x2 base. Sure, you can't really build a super defensive base there or anything, but it's a great starting spot.
I realize that my "directions" are horribly useless, but I'm skeptical about giving away the location anyways.
-
This made me laugh: http://www.rustnuts.com/heat-map/
Then it made me realise why procedural map generation will be a good thing for this game. It opens up the possibility for per-server maps, giving veterans less advantage and more of a challenge by having to learn a new environment.
-
Looking at the heat map my spot isn't traveled at all. Great news.
And I'm not telling.
-
There is a place called the rabbit hole at "5682" "521 " " -3060" Super well hidden in the mountains.
Only enough space for 1 foundation and a doorway. You have to crouch to get in but its a great spot to place items.
-
Seems to me they followed you back.... They likely figured that attacking you there was too risky, so they decided to follow from afar to not only note where your base is, but where the drop resources are as well.
-
9AD is a great place for people who dont mind walking
Theres a nice opening in the mountains right on the edge of the map you can build a HUGE base and it wont be discovered unless somebody travels to the complete edge of the map.
Just follow the right side of the ocean outside of small rad, towards hacker. Stick to the coast keep moving until the trees disappear. Look to your left youll c a tiny path going into the mountains, up that path is the unknown safe haven.
To get back to civilization follow the ocean coast. If you ever get lost in Hacker or Wasteland just find the Ocean. Half way between your base you can branch off and get some resources in wasteland, it's a slow process but it is how you can survive on huge populated servers.
12 T is also very good for people who want to be close to small rad, build a 3x3x4 cube with individual walls and keep all your stuff in the middle rooms of each floor. 4 C4min to get inside your base and it's cheap to build, the higher you go the safer you are. The alternative to this is to make a maze with a few entrances and exits (for home defense) and require somebody to go from each room to get to your staircase, so they have to get through 6 rooms if they dont know where your staircase is.

It's not the perfect base but it is very ideal it won't take you a lot of resources to get your first floor done, just make sure you have metal doors leading to each room. Think of the movie Cube, place spiked walls around your staircase and all around the outside, you can glitch them in between walls too. Raiders will normally stay away from the tedious required to get in, even if they blow a few walls they will lose interest unless they have a lot of resources. If you build it high enough you can even place all your gear on one floor and let the raiders try to figure out which center room has all the loot in.
-
I only get discovered by people who use ESP..
Since then I build inside of rocks. It may be a glitch/exploit but rust is about survival of the smartest. ;)
-
there is a spot on rust where you can build inside of a rock and it looks like a cave. It's one of the best spots that i've seen so far.
-
Thing i figured out is not having a base, find spots that can fit 1 small crate.
Stash your stuff all over the map in all different spots.
If 1 crate is compromised you have 10 other crates with stuff.
If you watch the rocks well you will see tons of great spots.
-
I used to hide stashes in trees and place my sleeping bag in areas only accessible when jumping on barricades and such.
-
I have found a very deep cave, fits a foundation.
-
Safest place is to build a really wide 1 story tall house. Have a doorway anywhere you can and as many rooms as possible. Fill each room with large boxes, they can be empty.
Now, have fun trying to find the real loot room in all that mess.
-
Hackers can see what crates have in them
:/
-
Time and again I've build houses made to "guess" which has the loot...and ya next day there is a perfect sequence of doors blown to get every last piece, leaving the empty ones.
-
I haven't tried it yet, but I read in one of the forums about someone who picked a random landmark in Hacker Valley and then just started walking east for a period of time (like 5 minutes) out into the wastes and then started building. Since most people think nothing is out there, plus the travel time, the house would be relatively hidden from daily raid parties. All you have to do is try to stay on a straight line path so you don't get lost.
-
Agreed. Same thing happened to me a few times. I still do it though, just in case a legit raider comes through...
-
Not true, none of the payed (premium) hack clients offer this service, it is no longer possible as is looting through walls, ESP does indeed show where the boxes are, but the individual items in the boxes are not displayed, both acts come from the same point of receiving information, if seeing what loot was in the boxes was still possible, then looting through obstructions would also still be possible
On my last server we had an enormous metal house and we knew there were many hackers on it, we had put empty large storage crates in metal rooms that literally had no doors and were completely cut off and were 4-5 spaces deep inside the house, without fail every night someone with an ESP would break in and try raid them, only to find that 90% of the boxes in the house were empty
-
What I like doing is following the coast, but taking in mind where the road is. Perhaps you could set your self up by a landmark you'll remember when you go out to get resources. (E.g. a massive hill or something) What I also like doing is if I am placed somewhere near a mountain, I would mark my way with Foundation and Pillars every hundred meters. I never get lost that way..
Edited:
Not anymore they can't! Cheatpunch is doing a great job. I have a account on a premium hacking site, simply to look at their new updates (not using hacks). On 3 diffferent premium sites, all 'look in chest' options have been removed due to Cheatpunch working around that and banning players for it. Also the option will no longer be in the premium cheats. However some stupid dumb-ass' could impliment their own hacks/cheats and use that option but get banned within couple of days!
-
rustmap.net is a reliable site that has been around for awhile. they are usign approved steam authentication, which directs to the steam website to enter your information, not on the rustmap.net site. So next time before you go badmouthing a perfectly fine site, do a little research perhaps.
Edited:
that wasn't from forums, it was from a recent conversation we had ;)
to the op:
Why in the world would people give up all their secret spots? Then it's nto a secret anymore......
-
Any chance you can send me a PM about the location? I know you don't want to blow it publicly but some help would be great!
-
Anyone ever see the big hole in the ground somewhere on the map? Some guy was talking about it but I didn't knows if it Was true
-
There are some good ones in the hills surrounding Small Rad. I've constructed a handful of bases as tests around there and they've always been pretty successful.
But an issue with areas like Small Rad is that it's a pretty high-traffic area, so people are more likely to stumble across it.
-
As one have already said, cheaters fuck everything up.
For about 3 months there were only a few hackers and I really enjoyed and thrived having a small, hidden base. For 2 months or so it's just useless to make well hidden bases.
I make bases hidden from everything, on spots like one person said before, really nice, full of empty boxes. When I went to check'em out, the doors were gone and the empty boxes were there. At least I made the hackers waste their C4s...
I hope that, one day, making hidden bases will be worth it again... I'm tired of making 15 stories or more bases in every server I play at :(
-
everyone knows that one, i think :) First place I would look for an easy base to raid
Edited:
yeah it's up in the mountains, close to the very top, next to big rad, or factory rad, can't remember which one. it goes down really deep and you can fit a foundation at the bottom but not a full room.
Edited:
I just posted the rough location. Can't remember for sure though, i always get the two bigger rad towns confused (or is it just one and I'm very confused)
here's screen shots I took when I was there

I think he might have been talking about the one near Secret Valley. It's interesting, but it has next to no strategic value as it's too small to build without glitching... which defeats the purpose of building in a hole.
-
No they can't, that was fixed ages ago. It's why you see 9mm ammo when opening boxes, it was put in to fix that issue. However they can see what boxes you go to the most so I tend to pretend to go to an empty floor a lot.
-
None of these bases are hidden anymore. =D
