What to expect from Rust's April Force Wipe?
General updates
With the upcoming 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 way for the upcoming update, allowing players to have a fresh start once they log into the game.
Softcore changes
With the latest update, a number of changes will be implemented for the softcore servers in the game. Tool Cupboards, broken storage boxes, etc., will now be reparable, and once raided, will retain 50% of their loot. Players will be able to repair the items and recover half the raided loot from these boxes.
Furthermore, players who succumb to death via other players will also retain 50% of the loot from their belt and in-game inventory. You will respawn with half the loot intact, and you can proceed to head back to the safety of your base provided you have a bag in the vicinity.
