The survival MMO Rust is causing frustration for solo players with a new feature. New surveillance cameras make it impossible to sneakily grab good loot.
This is what’s happening: With the CCTV update from March 5th, a new feature has made its way into the PVP survival MMO Rust, making it particularly difficult for lone wolves. Surveillance cameras.
Players could already build them for turrets, but they didn’t have any further use until now. That has changed. The surveillance cameras can be placed throughout the game world. With an ID code, players can control the cameras from a computer station.
This is the problem: The feature may not sound problematic at first, as the cameras can also be destroyed and players mainly use them to monitor their own base.
The developers at Facepunch Studios have published a few coded codes for fixed installed cameras on their website:
Resourceful players have already cracked most of the codes and are using them.
Rust’s loot hotspots are monitored, players are frustrated
The fixed and currently indestructible cameras are part of the monuments scattered around Rust. These are areas that promise especially good loot and are also visited by solo players.
Normally, these spots are controlled by larger groups, and anyone who approaches them is shot. However, solo players could use the night to sneakily grab the loot. With the cameras, this is now much harder.
- reddit user 7HSp6fXcXeXw perfectly describes the situation: “It will make solo gaming a nightmare. We can no longer sneak through the map puzzles because large groups are waiting to ambush everyone.”
- reddit user CreepyPierce is far from happy: “Haha, another hit for solo players. I swear to God, it will come to the point where the rest of the small groups (2-3) switch to a trio server instead of dealing with these disgusting bullshit clans that monitor monuments around the clock.”
Players are already demanding on reddit for a way to at least temporarily destroy these cameras. Whether Facepunch Studios will grant this request remains to be seen.
What do you think about the surveillance cameras?
