4:47 mask are paid to win cause craft time way lower then wolf head so op on wipe day
5 sec instead of 30

Snowman helmet better>>>>>

or just buy 1 Alien red for the same price :3

i had no idea the boonie hat and bandana were a paid item because i play on console and it’s a default item

given how much money they get for people buying the game and buying skins, if they wanted the game to be fair, why wouldn’t they just add crappy looking versions with the same functionality to them?

i.e, instead of a chinese lantern, there be a skin that is like a tattered lantern.

instead of the gun holder on the wall, just have a shoddy twig version that has the same functionality?

the devs are honestly just making the game less and less fair and more and more p2w to get cash. they have sold 12m copies of the game, they have made a fucking massive amount on the cosmetics in all likelihood. that’s ~350-500m in sales for the game alone, they don’t really host many servers so ongoing costs there aren'[t too high, they have only 70 employees.

they’re probably pushing 1b+ in total profit with minimal further ongoing costs. yet every update they add shit to the game thats p2w.

noteworthy there’s a garage door skin which makes the door into a chain link fence, cant shoot thru it, but you can see very clearly. Depending on the circumstance its can be useful.

The surgeon scrubs I bought for like 5 dollars years ago and resold it when I saw that price 😅

i got frogs boots

What about the base skins that provide more coverage on roofs and more peaking!?!?

Surgeon scrubs require a tier 1 workbench (you can’t craft them whenever you want)
its not like a ninja suit

Boonie hat and bandana is the most important in my opinion, it absolutely sucks to play without them early to mid game.

If you keep losing in rust nothing from this list is gonna help you win lol

Feels like none of those really matter that much

So many forget the sun chairs in the sun burn pack also give 100% comfort standard bp and very cheap

Maybe its because I dont play rust, but piracy seems like the morally correct thing to do here. I can understand DLC for tons of content grouped together, but this kind of microtransaction deserves to fail. This is no better than the sims

The blackout armor set homie, got the full set as it came out and I’m holding it to this day

you left off the abyss torch which can be used under water

Cursed cauldron can also be placed inside boxes so helps a lot if you want to have a very compact base

barrels are super op they pretty much take up the same size as small box or bbq and have storage of a large box

Dislike didnt mention the metal tree door as pay to win

An Alternative for the Surgeon Scrubs can be the Egg suit same Stats Wet Protection etc. and no WB requiered like the Ninja suit for those who missed it like me 🙁 only downside is it has little durability. But if you are just grubbing somebody or use it as an Armor to just get 1 Kill it will be enough

Bro what happened to Rust Labs! That was the go to place😭

4:47 You can’t use a bandana with those masks :/ so this is not really P2W…

Industrial lights ar very handy. They are cheap, consumes only 1 energy and you have them from the start. You just find battery(small or medium) solar panel and you have lights in your starter base. And the light from them is much better than ceiling lights. it makes nice, even white light, doesnt hang from ceiling. Long story short, if you like to have lights in your base, you should buy this lights.

Since when is there a white lantern?

I subbed for the reasoning behind the lanterns <3

you also missed the lumberjack pack, that gives you acces to craft metal tools without having the buleprint for them, good way to save some scrap early into wipe 🙂

Best P2W strat is just to buy Rust for a teammate

Bro, great vid, thanks 🎉

Water guns can defuse satchels through doors and walls so maybe it can save you from a raid

Rust is telling y’all to get a job to pay for stuff it just makes sense

Is RustLabs safe to use, my CPU gives me a warning when I go the site.

I would also add the Adobe and Brick skin for stone. Can create a pixel gap without even doing any build out 🙂

2:21 “Barrel, lockers fridges”… dont forget coffins.

What about HJUNE MP5 skin that’s the most ptw skin ever!!!!!

I bought the surgeon scrubs 2 years ago for 13$ but stopped playing, ima sell it

you didnt say why boonie hat and bandana are supposed to be p2w?

i have a question where buy ninja suit

I own alien red ak and glory sar for those cheeky night sights

surgeon scrubs is about 60$ now

nice

i think rust is pay to win

A cosmetic that effects gameplay and stats.
This is why i dont want to play rust.

I think the egg suit ist kinda nice and not only factory door but see trough doors in general are OP

15 bucks for boonie hat n badana???? Those shits are free on console

i have the frog boots i dont really play rust

Damn, I didn’t realize I got so lucky on a few things; the first skin reward I got for playing was for the bandanna, so it unlocked it for me to craft =D

Similarly, and more controversially, I got the sofa, ninja suit, and red factory door, and one or 2 double doors with windows from twitch (among all of them, these were probably the most important – still really lame that they don’t re-run some of the really big skin drops like those from time to time for the people who didn’t get them, since they can be fucking HUGE advantages for the people who happened to be around at the time and available to participate in the campaigns..

Also happened to buy the paper lantern when it first came out, since lighting was particularly bad at the time, and was pleasantly surprised when I came back to the game to find that I now also owned the white one for no extra cost =D

Buying the game and all the nice to have bonus items is just to expensive

The TC skin is so good sometimes i goon to it

The wolf-headdress masks skins are pay-to-lose, you can’t equip a bandana with them

building skins should be definitly a quality of life features… You have better placement and peeks

Adobe half walls blocks vision and the ability to loot pixel gap bunkers, so upgrading from stone to adobe will “close” your bunker and upgrading to stone will “open” it again (not sure id that works with other stone skins)

Another one is the new years gong. You can shoot through the gaps at turrets while they cant hit you, or just drain them that way

Ive been trying to find a wolf heady skin for so long

Garys mod toolgun has increased repair range you can repair roofs without jumping

The cursed hide set with green cap and forest bandana pretty cheap

I got the bandana for free somehow. I like wearing it.

Wolf head alternative skins (rat, dragon etc..) take 3 seconds to craft and deal the same stats as wolf head. Should be in top tier of ptw.

So happy I got surgeon scrubs when they first came out for like 5 to 10 dollars.

The fact that i already have evrything except the doctor thing and i didnt know most of the items are p2w is crazy

3:23 How could you forget the Clatter helmet??? Now that Clatter is free, you can AFK in it for 30 minutes and get the Clatter helmet.
It costs 30 frags and you can pair it with a bandana for a whopping *25 head protection.* Best part is, _you don’t even need a tier 1 workbench to craft it_
You could basically just melt down a few tuna cans and instantly have a great helmet.

The only downside is that you’re basically wearing two sparklers on your head and at night it might make it easy for people to dome you lol.
Although it isn’t supposed to produce enough light to be a useful alternative to the candle hat, if you are in a cramped base at certain angles, it can still illuminate the walls.

Also if you use the skinning knife on someone who is wearing the Clatter helmet, it used to be the case that the sparkle effect would still activate when placed on walls. So essentially you could have a similar effect to hanging up the *Christmas lights* in your bsae

Nice paced and straight forward video!

No love for the Ninja Suit?

dont forget the sofa has a glitch which allows you to kill people through doors and see through doors (works with guns but u have to have code on the door) so u can make wallhack peaks with them to kill roofcampers. has been in the game ever since the dlc was added and never got patched

Hate how much ppl sleep on bone armor, freaking default BP. 25% projectile protection for both pieces. Only 30 cloth and 100 bones for the full set. Literally just skin 3-4 players with a bone knife or a combat knife. Having a set that gives you full 25% projectile resistance like scrubs or ninja but for only 30 cloth total is huge. Not to mention that against NPCs like scientists that counts as 50% protection. Against animals that’s considered 80% melee protection. Skin the bodies you kill, bone armor is worth a lot in the early game but cheap to make

The rug from hell is essential so you and the boys can summon satan to sell your souls for sulfur

The old Xmas lights that didn’t use power were really good to mark a Heli landing pad and for illumination. I sold mine for over $100 on the marketplace.

daft as fuk

I’m not to familiar with buying things on Rust but, I would so buy the arctic/aquatic hazmat suits individually if i could rather than buy a bundle.

I have skins but don’t know what rust servers to play on

3:22 to 3:33 ok understood :O

“Who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on skins just so you blend in to the bush”

😅

I love rust skins I’ve had many on and off, easy to resell! I have frog boots but I missed the red sheet metal door with a window i will forever beat myself up for not having it when i knew about it at the time. I have the paid one from the store but 1. it’s ugly af but i need it over my beautiful skins for gameplay reasons outside the base, and 2. the window is smaller than the twitch drop version so you can’t see people crouching outside your door. I really wish they would embrace new single sheet metal door skins with a window to give more decoration options when a window is necessary. Do you think you could go over cool unique airlock builds using all the themed base skins? airlocks with shop front, vending machines, stairsets, roof pieces, etc, etc that look awesome thanks to the skins while staying functional and practical in game?

use dracula mask instead of snowman helmet, same thing just way smaller viewmodel

Rust now officially first PAY to play but PAY to win game, grats

Favorite passtime since i started my rust addiction: going to steam market and sorting buy lowest price. It’s like thrift store shopping.

Frog boots were a gift for early access players that then went and purchased the game upon release. I like my froggy boots!

Arctic Hazmat never should have been paid. Tbh no gameplay effecting items should be but I guess 40 million pure profit a year just isn’t enough for Facepunch.

Can’t you use the torch skin under water?

Armor sets that match the different biomes are OP, and whether or not you have those barrels available completely changes what kind of bases you can get plentiful storage into. Other than this, I’d say there’s not much reason to do DLC except for your own aesthetic preferences. Those lanterns are so nice, though.

Thanks for the great info! Subbed!

Bro you went in depth about all the super minor things but not about the big ones.
Forrest raider and alike is a giant p2w thing, building skins allow for far better peaks as well as pixel gaps that you can seal, the barrels are not just vertical storage you get basically 50%+ loot space for the same loot room.
You did include artic hazzy, that’s good.

Found out, i have the Frog Boots. I did not know that this is a very rare item 😀

I just saved my money by uninstalling this game and buying a different game that didn’t have scam p2w shit in it.

Ninja suit? or is that not buyable

fun fact when snow machine released u could bunker an entire mine entrance from your base below making your cave 100% unraidable. this lasted a few weeks before fix.

Im glad i got the ninja suit for free coz no way in hell am i buying surgeon scrubs

im thinking of buying the frontier decor pack! is it worth it?

But what does the bandana and hat do?

what a stupid video, fm

So the bandana and boonie hat are cheap most of the low and mid tier clothing are cheap

You got me fked up you think I’m gonna spend ANYTHING on rust. Let alone 135 bucks.

Apocalypse nomad mp5

The barrels from frontier pack are really p2w you can make storage room with about double the amount of space compared to the box

Festive Garlands are also a good way to give you some light in your base and it only costs cloth to craft them

Check out the building skins , some have smaller hit boxes on double door frame. When you build a roof to shoot from, there is an invisible collider on the pay skins that prevents you from falling off.

you can use industrial lights to grow plants but they illuminate only one planter box at a time!

Funfact: You don’t have to buy these items.
I like how you told the bandana and boonie hat are very important in the early stage of the game, but you don’t explain why so just waste money on things because you said so 😀 Sure.

hazmat is not really P2W since you can equal if not better stats using cold set

Drizza bro I remember your goated vids from years ago. Havent seen you in a minute, will be stopping in more 🙂

I got the whiteout and forest raiders kit when they first came out. Sold them for a steamdeck.

Pat 2 win lmao what exactly are you supposed to win only one “winning” are the creators of skins

Secret lab chair gives you 100% as well for no blueprint…

I’d go for the Festive Garlands or Skull Spikes instead of the Chinese Lantern since they don’t require any fuel and give enough light

btw the cauldron doesn’t have a hitbox meaning you can overlap things into it if it’s put down first. you can also put it down before you put down a foundation and have your cooking out of the way completely

clatter helmet is a big W too since the game you earn it on is free

I’m on xbox series X can I buy any of these?. I’m new to rust. Thanks

The chicken pants are pay 2 win 😅

Small correction, frontier pack also includes the chair, which is the only buyable item in the game which doesnt require a blueprint, and gives 100% comfort outright. So if someone is missing the twitch trophies this is the only way to guarantee 100% comfort with only a single item. Otherwise throw up a shit load of rugs, next to your furnaces, though the lack of sitting means you will heal slightly slower.

edit… oh wait you said this. well im leaving the comment anyways for engagement
