All expected changes coming with the Rust console force wipe for August 2025

Here's a point-by-point breakdown of all the changes that you can expect with the upcoming Rust console force wipe for August 2025:

Blueprint wipe

With every force wipe, the first notable change is the removal of all learnt blueprints from players' inventories across different servers. Each item blueprint that you might have researched and unlocked throughout the course of the previous month's wipe will cease to exist. As the latest update rolls in, you must restart your grind and get your hands on a lot of scrap to unlock and research these items again.

Modular vehicles

Modular vehicles have been in the public test branch for the Rust console for a while. The latest teasers from the official X page for the game indicate that these vehicles will soon make an appearance with the debut of the August update.

With the launch of modular vehicles in the game, players will be able to unlock different vehicle parts, customize them to their needs and requirements, and use them in-game. We've already seen these vehicles in action on Rust PC, and with this update, even the console community can finally get their hands on these car modules.

Handcuffs and Prisoner Hood

Alongside the addition of modular vehicles with the Rust console force wipe for August 2025, players can also expect the introduction of handcuffs and the prisoner's hood. Once players are handcuffed, they can no longer use or hold any items. The inventories of handcuffed players can be directly looted without injuring or eliminating them.

The prisoner's hood can be used to block a player's vision. This item can be paired with handcuffs to imprison players.

That's all there is to know about the Rust console force wipe for August 2025.
