The Rust Christmas Event 2024 will start soon. Now, we finally know what content awaits us. In this event article, we show you everything there is!

When does the event start? Of course, in 2024, there will be a Christmas celebration in the survival MMO Rust. We'll now tell you what's in store, in addition to gifts, Santa Claus, and cool items.
The Overview: This year's Rust Christmas Event brings both the familiar and the new. You can once again go sledding and build ice walls, but you can also visit the popular gingerbread mines. Santa Airdrops, an Advent calendar, and much more are also part of the festivities.
The beloved feature from the last Rust Christmas Event is the Gingerbread Mines. Here you face dangerous gingerbread men who want to get their hands on you. You must defeat them and explore their mines to end up stealing the great gifts stored here. The mines are marked by gingerbread houses on the surface of the game world. When you enter the house, a new instance loads.
But be careful, right after entering it can happen that the gingerbread will open fire on you. So be careful. Kill them and loot them because the gingerbread men also carry gifts, crafting materials, and other loot.

Instead of an airplane dropping a box, you will now find Santa Claus on his sleigh, who announces himself with festive sounds. He'll then drop a big gift that all you have to do is pick it up.
This is how you build the sled: The sled is one of the favorites of the winter event among Rust fans, and of course, it shouldn't be missing in 2022 either. You can toboggan down the snowy mountains with him and have a lot of fun. You will need these materials at a level 1 workbench:
You can also choose between two sled skins. One made of wood and one padded sled. Every time you pick it up after a trip, it loses 25% HP, which allows a total of 4 trips.

This is how you can ride: To be able to sled with it, you have to place it on a snowy hill and just sit on it.
But be careful! The sleigh in the Rust Christmas Event 2022 does not stop moving unless one of the following occurs:
This is how snow becomes a weapon: The snowball cannon or Blizzard Blaster, as it is officially called, is a machine gun in the Rust Christmas event 20212, which of course shoots snowballs. The features of the blaster are as follows:
You can find it here: In the gifts that you can receive during the event (more on that later), you can also find the snowball cannon, among other things. This means that every player has equal access to the weapon, and it is not hidden behind any seasonal achievements.
Make snow in the desert! This item can be used to create artificial snow. It doesn't matter where you set up the snow cannon.
Have you ever wanted to build your own gingerbread house in Rust? Now is your chance. The event introduces gingerbread skins to the world of Rust, allowing you to decorate your structures. These skins are designed for wooden building components and cannot be applied to stone structures.
It pays to be good: Just like with the Halloween event, you can either open it or combine 10x small or 5x medium gifts to receive the next largest gift. The following awaits you when you unpack them:
As every year, you can also find Christmas stockings to hang by a campfire or fireplace. They will then automatically fill up over time with items that you can collect. When a sock is full, it starts to glow.
What's more: Not only new items are part of the Rust Christmas event. As in previous years, there are also decorative changes for players and the game world.
