Trending
As with any Rust server wipe, you can expect the game's online accessibility to go down for maintenance prior to the release of the update. Rust features both private and public servers, and even the private ones go offline as they incorporate the latest update and all the additions that it brings forward.
Right now, it's not known when the Rust September Force-wipe will be. That said, here's a detailed list of the release times for the latest Rust Force Wipe for August 2025, which might remain the same for the next one:

What to expect from Rust Force Wipes?
General updates
With any new force wipe, players can first and foremost expect the removal of all their saved blueprints across different servers in the game. All official, community, and some modded servers will wipe out their storage, and as such, players will have to restart their grind once again.
Alongside blueprints, all maps in the game will also be wiped out. Server owners will procedurally generate new maps to pave the way for the upcoming update, allowing players to have a fresh start once they log into the game.
Hardcore updates
The latest Rust Force Wipe will refresh the entire Hardcore mode. Major quality of life changes are coming to the game mode. True to its name, this game mode will be even more challenging to play, making it a treat for those that like the more survival side of the game.
Guns are no longer craftable or researchable. Players will have to hunt for weapons the old-fashioned way, and the stakes are higher than ever. Anyone possessing a firearm has a distinct advantage over others, and it's never been more important to ensure that you don't lose it while you're out roaming.
Furthermore, this mode will see the addition of a compass, and fog of war. This will incentivize to leave the vicinity and explore the outlands.

That's everything that you need to know about the Rust wipe for August 2025. It must be noted that this force wipe was primarily centered towards improving the hardcore mode in Rust. Due to the lack of updates, players barely contested the official servers for this game mode. However, taking in account the latest changes, we believe that this game mode will see quite a huge surge in popularity very soon.
