How to join gRust, the Rust server in Garry's Mod?
gRust is the Rust server inside Garry's Mod run by the Optix9 community. To join you need Garry's Mod on Steam with Counter-Strike: Source mounted, then connect by typing connect 155.117.117.76:27415 in the console or by finding the server in GMod's server browser. It is PVP survival with x10 loot and a weekly wipe every Thursday.
Requirements: Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike: Source
You only need two things: Garry's Mod on Steam and Counter-Strike: Source installed and mounted in GMod, because the gamemode uses its models and textures. If you join without CS:S you will see pink textures and ERROR signs instead of the game content. You do not need the original Rust, and you do not need to register on the Optix9 website to play.
How to connect to the server
Open Garry's Mod and find the server in the server browser, or open the console and type connect 155.117.117.76:27415. If the console is not enabled, turn it on in the game's keyboard options or add the -console launch option in Steam. Custom content (maps and sounds) downloads automatically via FastDL when you join, so the first connection may take a bit longer than usual.
What to expect: x10 loot, weekly wipe and events
gRust is PVP survival with x10 loot, so you gather and progress much faster than in classic Rust. The server wipes every Thursday: the map and all progress reset, and everyone starts over on equal footing. There are also events, a market and 1v1 duels inside the server.
Your first spawn: where to start
When you spawn you are in a PVP world where any player can attack you, so gather resources and build your base as soon as possible. With x10 loot the early game is fast even if the wipe was several days ago. Your progress counts toward the gRust level ranking at https://optix9.xyz/ranks, and if you have questions or problems you can ask for help on the community Discord: https://discord.gg/optix9.
Preguntas frecuentes
Do I need the original Rust to play gRust?
No. gRust is a gamemode inside Garry's Mod, so you only need GMod on Steam and Counter-Strike: Source mounted for the models and textures.
Why do I see pink textures or ERROR signs in gRust?
That happens when Counter-Strike: Source is not mounted in Garry's Mod. Install CS:S from Steam and mount it in GMod so the gamemode's models and textures load.
When is the gRust wipe?
The wipe is weekly, every Thursday. The map and all progress reset, and every player starts from scratch.
Do I need to register on the Optix9 website to play gRust?
No, playing does not require registering on the website. On https://optix9.xyz you can check the level ranking and use the Connect button on the server's page if you prefer.
