The Rust June update is right around the corner, with the official force wipe scheduled for June 5, 2025. Rust players are excited for what's coming with the latest update. The Staging Branch showcase from popular creators like @Protox0 and @Shadow_frax looks extremely promising, hinting at some fantastic additions coming with the Rust June force wipe.
This article will explore the potential additions and changes that you can expect from the Rust June update.
Note: The contents of this article are based on Staging Branch showcase and are subject to change until official launch on June 5, 2025.
All expected changes coming with the Rust June update
Primarily, the June update is targeted towards improving the quality-of-life experience of playing Rust. As showcased by @Protox0 and @Shadow_frax, we can expect the following additions in the game:
New silencers
Silencers have been deemed overpowered for far too long, and the original silencer is now being converted into a military-grade item. It can only be found in loot crates and is no longer craftable.
However, to ensure there's an alternative option, the developers are introducing low-tier silencers, such as the tin-can silencer and others. These will have lower durability than the military-grade version. Shots will have to be more precise and intentional, as the item will break if you keep spamming it continuously. Overall, it's a great change for online PvP in Rust.

Electrical wiring update
Wiring has always been a messy affair in the game, and the Rust June update is going to solve this issue once and for all. The latest update will introduce the concept of wire snapping. Players will no longer have to haphazardly lay down their wiring, and can now have organized circuits throughout their entire base.

Wallpapers for ceilings and floors
Many new wallpapers are being added to the game with the Rust June update, and players will be able to use these as roofing and flooring options in the game. Currently, they're only available for use in enclosed spaces, and until the update officially goes live, this feature is subject to change.
Currently, there are 20 different flooring and roof tiling options available in the Staging Branch, and this entire item bundle may be made available as an exclusive DLC or a free addition to the pre-existing Wallpaper Starter Pack in Rust.
Bee Catapult Bomb
Catapult, one of the most powerful Siege Weapons in Rust, is receiving a brand new type of ammunition. The Bee Grenade, which was introduced with the May 2025 update for the title, can now be used as Artillery ammunition. This item will be perfect for clearing out spaces and pushing enemies out of cover during raids and online raid defenses.
This item can be crafted in the vicinity of the Workbench Level 1. To craft this item, you will need access to the following items:
- 3 Bee Grenades
- 200 Wood
Once done, you can load this item up on a Catapult and let it loose on an army of unsuspecting enemies.
