What Makes AntlerRust Different

  • Wipe-aware web: server, map, and stats pages update around wipe without manual babysitting.
  • Economy discipline: pricing and progression are tuned to keep mid-tier meaningful.
  • Readable UI: information is designed to be obvious at a glance, especially on mobile.
  • Operational integrity: public-data feeds are generated atomically to avoid stale / partial states.

New Player Checklist

  • Open Servers and verify the server is online.
  • Join once, then favorite it in Rust for fast return.
  • Check Leaderboard after wipe to confirm fresh stats.
  • If you’re learning Rust: build small, fight often, and don’t over-invest on day one.
