"The Rifts" teleport you into the unknown

New this year in the Halloween event are cultists who build portals all over the game world. The game lore of Rust does not reveal what exactly the portals are about. However, if you enter such a portal, you will be teleported to another world where spooky dangers await you. If you successfully complete one of these dungeons, a hefty reward awaits you!

These are the Halloween portals of Rust in 2023
