We're hosting a new build contest for players on all RustEZ servers. Build an original heli tower and enter to win RustEZ store credits and other in-game prizes for next wipe! The tower must follow these rules: Be a stand-alone build and not connected to your base. Be fully upgraded to metal + HQM (no twig, wood, or stone). Name your heli tower and place at least one sign with the name on the outside. If your server has decay enabled, the tool cupboard must be stocked to prevent decay until after June 26th. HOW TO ENTER You may enter only one build. Reply to this forum thread and provide the following by midnight EST (5 am GMT) Thursday, June 24, 2021. Post your entry in advance of your final build so we can follow your progress! Team tower builds are eligible, however only one person from your team can enter the build. Your in-game name The server your contest build entry is on (i.e. AU-Survival, EU-Pure, US-Scourge and so on) The map grid ID location of the build One screenshot showing the front of the build (Tips for taking full screenshots) Note: Admin entries are judged separately from player entries.

If build contest participants are online (and willing) we'll test their tower power and durability while we fight helis (gear and kits provided). Event servers will be announced in this post and in our Discord prior to start times. In-game prizes and Steam keys will be handed out to participants during the Event Tours.

Offender: Siegfid (Battlemetrics, Steam) Server: EU Pure Time: 2021-06-09 10:23 PM Length: Permanent Reason: Griefing In response to a player report of their entire base and all items missing, Battlemetrics logs show this player used a salvaged hammer to remove the base. Player received a permanent ban for griefing. Portions of the logs below for reference.

I'm saddened to learn we've lost a member of our EZ community. My condolences to the family and to you, a3/0scLauan. I'm so sorry for your loss. ♥

Thanks to all who submitted builds for the May Top Shop contest – and to everyone who joined us for our Discord/server Build Tours event.

Yep, but we'll probably still stop by during the build tours tonight (*cough* 2 hours to change it up)

We will be doing a community Build Tours event this evening, Friday, May 21 at 7PM ET (convert to your local timezone here). Join us in Discord Lobby 1 as we make our way around the Rust EZ servers to view all the Top Shop contest builds. Tour participants will vote for their favorites. During the event, Discord & server participants will have a chance to win some in-game and Steam prizes. See you then!

… and more difficult to do. While they are challenging to new players, after you've done them a couple times, it's super easy to take them out using minimal resources and have minimal risk of death doing it for a big loot reward payout.

An option to purchase a Level 2 heli distress signal from the Blackmarket on modded servers -- at a higher RP cost. It would make it more fun and challenging for group/team heli fights.

An admin from the server will look at providing an alternative solution shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience!
