Life is our team's take on GTA Online inside Rust. Forget building bases — you pick a career, run a business, launder drug money, hold up a jewelry store, or buy a warehouse and flip it. Cops chase robbers. Empires rise. Every session is a story, not a farming grind.
Instead of chopping wood and placing TCs, players pick careers, run businesses, pull heists, and deal on the drug market. Cash flows through banks, property deeds, ATMs, and laundromats. Cops chase robbers. Legitimate work makes steady money. Crime pays more — if you don't get caught.
Choose an occupation to grind full-time — each job progresses over time, unlocking rare materials and exclusive items you can use or sell.
Open and operate your own storefronts, warehouses, laundromats, and nightclubs. Stock inventory, hire NPC workers, launder illicit cash through clean books, and pull weekly profits.
Purchase apartments, houses, warehouses, and mansions. Each property is upgradable — stronger doors, alarms, vaults — so it can withstand a raid from rival players looking to clear out your vault.
Create your own company or invest in others. Share prices move with player deposits and withdrawals — a real liquid market built into the economy.
No licenses, no friction. Buy a car and store it in your personal garage — walk up to any car lift to spawn it anywhere on the map.
Knock over stores for quick cash or gear up and hit the Lazaria Bank for the central vault — gold bars and high-value loot.
A high-stakes truck escort crosses the map. Cops defend it. Criminals ambush it. Kill the escort, and the truck unlocks illegal gear.
Grow and process cocaine, heroin, and weed. Invest in a warehouse to scale up production. Move product, watch your back, move more.
Periodic events anyone can contest — crashed planes with cargo, armored truck convoys, high-value drops. Police respond if the attackers are red.
No open-world PvP by default — this is roleplay. Declare war on another player to unlock combat, or break it by attacking in a neutral zone.
Commit crime → get a warrant. Cops on the ground can execute or transport. Off-grid, auto-teleport to the nearest station. Jail time comes with fines.
Deposit cash at ATMs to protect your funds — with a catch. A percentage is lost if the bank gets robbed, so keep an eye on the heist feed.
Buy and sell gear directly with other players — from anywhere on the map, through the in-game mobile marketplace.
Apply for Police Officer or Medic. Each has its own progression and its own rules — if you take the badge, you roleplay it. Period.
Complete daily, weekly and monthly tasks to progress the Battlepass. Unlock weapons, gear, skills, unique in-game items — and real Rust Steam skins.
Spend Battlepass skill points on perks: faster drug processing, better vehicle handling, boosted wages, heist multipliers, and more.
Earn points through combat, cash in for supply crates that roll against the Life loot table. Clean, simple, always worth the risk.
Custom content you won't find in vanilla Rust — drones, remote-control vehicles, parachutes, themed backpacks, and dozens more quality-of-life systems.
