Many Rust players are still confused by the wipe date calendar plan, on Rust PC and Console Edition. This is why we are going to explain everything about the wipes and their start dates today – stay tuned if you always want to be the first on the server.
“Wen Wipe?” The most frequently asked question under any Rust developer post, be it on Twitter or YouTube, is “Wen Wipe” which means “When is the Wipe date?”. Especially for players of the Rust console edition, it is confusing at the beginning when a wipe occurs and how it works. But don’t worry, we’ll explain everything briefly and concisely so that you always start as the first player in the new cycle.
How, when, and where to wipe? This is the Rust Wipe cycle
Basics about the wipe: In Rust, the developers, but also private server hosts, use wipes to bring all players back to the same level after a certain time, namely zero.
Sooner or later, dominating groups will emerge that have so much loot, weapons, and explosives that dozens of servers could be destroyed in the blink of an eye. New players would not have a chance to compete against it and therefore wiping takes place. But how, when, and where does a wipe date occur in Rust?
When are wipes coming for Rust PC and the console edition?
Always the same: The cycle of the official Rust servers is always the same on every platform. Once a month, all servers should be subjected to a complete database deletion. More precisely, a wipe date on consoles should always take place on the last Thursday of the month. The time is also 2:00 pm. PST and 7:00 p.m. EST are always the same.

Are there shorter wipe cycles? There are official Rust servers that perform their wipe earlier than normal. Instead of monthly wipes, these servers perform their wipe once a week, every Thursday. We’ll tell you why this is good for aggressive players at the end of the article.

This is how a wipe in Rust works – Say goodbye to everything
As soon as the day of the wipe arrives, all affected servers are shut down. In-game, you will receive notifications in the chat window a few hours in advance. So you can’t just get thrown out while the game is flowing.
After the servers have been switched off, they are maintained by the developers. In the official blog post, the team speaks of 20 to 30 minutes of downtime. Then the servers start again, and you can run your Rust journey from scratch.
Make sure that the map also changes in Rust and in the Rust console edition with a wipe. Except for the currently non-playable map Hapis Island, all maps are randomly generated.
What happens to the loot in Rust after the wipe date? As mentioned at the beginning of this article, you actually lose everything that you have worked for and built up in the last cycle. There’s no way around that, which is why you should never get used to your loot.
Many players see Rust more along the lines of e-sports anyway, since it’s played in rounds. The only difference between it and a game of League of Legends or Counter Strike is that a round can last up to 30 days. Of course, your enemies can raid you before that.

Died early in Wipe? Do not worry, we got you
Alternate servers: If you died in the middle of a Rust Console Edition wipe cycle, you can switch servers. Optionally, of course, you are free to stay on the same server and fight your way up again. Depending on the level of the other players, this can be improbable or impossible.
If you, unfortunately, fall into the category “early dropouts”, you can also join official servers that hold a wipe every 2 weeks or even weekly.
That’s all? If you still have unanswered questions, just ask them in the comment section of this article or below the post on Facebook. Of course, you are also cordially invited to join our wonderful community there.
how long does it take for servers to come back up after wipe
I have heard that after this wipe 27 Jan 2022 that all blue prints will be reset. Is this true?
The last Blueprint Wipe was on December 2nd, 2021. I didn’t read anything about the next Blueprint Wipe so far.
Well, today was also a Wipe.
Cant find there sever I was in before wipe waited over a hour???
Maybe it takes a bit longer
On console there is Monthly servers and weekly servers, All Blue Prints learned don’t reset but the map and everything you’ve built or gathered does reset. Every month the map and monuments located around the map changes. Blue Prints do not carry to other servers. You must farm out the scrap in order to Acquire blueprints you need on every server you play. Blue Print wipes are usually 2-3 Years on Official servers.
Will map change when wipe happens?
Yes they CAN. On official servers it is pretty clear, they will change.
On private it’s a different thing, they could change, but they don’t have to. Depends on the private hosters 🙂
Question this is for 2023 I just started playing the console version on a reg server. When was the last time a blueprint wipe happened and do you expect one to happen any wipe now or do you believe it will be awhile?
So on rust console edition will out blueprints wipe with the server?
Yes, on officials.
Maybe some private hosters will keep them safe. But that you have to read about on their website, discord or server discription 🙂
Died early in wipe so leave the server as a solution? Lmfao who tf wrote this article? If you know that little about Rust then why areyou writing an article on the subject..? XD lmfaooo
If you died and got raided by other players and lose all your stuff, it can be hard to get back your equipment. So some players tend to switch servers, or they prefer to play on official servers with more wipes. Of course, not all players think like that, but it’s an option to do so.
its better to stay on that server if you already have useful blueprints swapping servers is an even bigger set back
If that’s the case, you’re right.
Man you said the wipes date mate and ther are not right
What Date is incorrect? The Rust Devs even say today was a Wipe
Do blueprints get wiped also?
Not sure anymore, but I think there will be no more official blueprint wipes.
So this article was NOT the definitive wipe guide you led us to believe…
We told you we will explain what Wipes do and when they will occur. We did just that in the article. The last Blueprint Wipe was a while ago. I can’t tell you if they will occur again, but I don’t think so. But that’s in the hand of the developers.
Everything will be wiped. Only the Custom-Servers could possibly let your “BPs” stay.
What time and day do weekly servers wipe?
Should be every Thursday. I Can’t tell you a time though
No it’s thursdays. And bp wipe is 3 to 5 times a year
