8.5 Base Weaknesses to avoid in Rust (Top Mistakes that get you raided!)

A range of weaknesses I see wipe after wipe on bases of all sizes and some ways to combat them.

From early design to touching up mistakes or planning for expansion there'll be some useful tips in here for you.

It really doesn't matter if you're a solo or a team player looking to improve on your groups base, hopefully something here will help you in your future wipes last a little longer.

There’s nothing worse than coming back online to see a hole in your base and your loot missing.

Even more gutting is when you realise the route they took and just how easy you made it for them

If this sounds familiar, then you’re not alone and it’s alright

I see bases on every wipe that show one or all of the following mistakes and it’s safe to say they don’t last long

I cover a bunch of tips from early wipe build mistakes, to advice for compounds and managing TC upkeep. I look at building privilege and how to think about the design of furnace bases and gate entrances.

These tips will work for all base designs and sizes, from solo base designs to duo base designs, trio base designs, group base designs and even clan base designs. (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 3x3)



Rust is an open world survival game available on PC and in Beta on Console (Xbox and PlayStation). The goal of the game is to design and build bases, gather resources and defend your loot against other players, groups and zergs. Play through the primitive early game and make it to end-game PVP with tier 3 weapons over the span of a wipe. Living out of the best solo base in rust.
