Rust's latest update went live yesterday. The game received two new additions and tons of improvements. Several bugs were addressed and one small piece of content was removed. From now on, the underwater lab will have smaller moonpools. Fishing Village Equipment Shop now has a new storefront.
Players can now use dance gestures while swimming, don’t know why they added it but I ain’t complaining. Both submarine types will now have storage and thrown cassette recorders will start decaying after a while. The update also reduced the player’s crawling health by 75%.
The patch also removed the rising torpedo type. We have mentioned more important changes below.
Improvements
- If player is holding S when they catch a fish, block backward movement for 1s or until the S key is released
