1Introduction

Definition: a force wipe is the map reset Facepunch applies to every Rust server at the monthly game update, scheduled for 19:00 UK time on the first Thursday of the month. The countdown above measures the interval to that moment and refreshes every five minutes; the city clocks give the same instant in local time. Limits: a delayed update moves the reset, so treat the countdown as the scheduled time, not a guarantee.

2The schedule

A force wipe falls on the first Thursday of every month at 19:00 UK time: 19:00 UTC in winter and 18:00 UTC while the UK keeps summer time. Table 1 gives the next twelve.

Appendix AQuestions

A.1What time is the next Rust force wipe?

The force wipe is scheduled for 19:00 UK time on the first Thursday of the month. While the UK observes summer time that is 18:00 UTC; in winter it is 19:00 UTC. The countdown and the city clocks on this page show the scheduled instant in local time, and are updated every five minutes.

A.2Does the force wipe always happen on time?

The schedule is set by Facepunch and the reset follows the release of the monthly update. Release, and therefore the wipe, can move by minutes or hours when a build is delayed. The countdown shows the scheduled time; a server's own wipe record shows when it actually reset. Check just-wiped servers to see which have done so.

A.3Do blueprints wipe at the Rust force wipe?

Every server's map resets at the force wipe, because the new version requires it. Blueprints are a separate decision taken by the server operator: some wipe them each month, others keep them across wipes. Server pages record the wipe cycle of each server, so you can check before you commit to a base.

A.4How does Rust Statistics measure the countdown?

The countdown is the difference between the current server time and the next scheduled force wipe, computed from the published schedule of first-Thursday resets. It refreshes with the same interval as the rest of the site. It is a schedule figure, not an observation: it states when the wipe is due, not when any particular server completed it.
