The October Update of Rust is making a splash with its exciting new features! There was so much to mention I had to create a part 2.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the aquatic adventures that await in the game's vast oceanic expanses. The update introduces a series of hidden Diving Sites, each one a secret haven of underwater marvels. These sites are not just a feast for the eyes but also a treasure trove for the intrepid diver. With no markings on the map, players will have to rely on their keen observation skills to locate the new buoys that signal the entrance to these underwater realms.

Once you've spotted a buoy, gear up and dive down to discover an enchanting world beneath the waves. You'll find the seabed alive with activity, from the scuttling crabs to the mysterious skeletons that hint at tales untold. Vibrant starfish dot the ocean floor, adding a burst of colour to the deep blue sea. But that's not all—the update promises more than just visual delights. These diving sites are rich with resources and hidden items, making every dive an opportunity for discovery and reward.

Water Wells
These aren't just your average spots to quench your thirst anymore. The game developers have decided to give these mini-monuments a major facelift, transforming them into vibrant hubs of activity that promise to enhance your survival experience.

Imagine stumbling upon a water well, only to find it bustling with life, thanks to a friendly NPC shopkeeper. This isn't just any NPC; they're equipped with an array of items that could be the difference between life and death in the harsh world of Rust. From farming equipment that could kickstart your agricultural aspirations to a variety of teas that offer unique buffs, the shopkeeper is your go-to for survival essentials. And let's not forget the basic weapons on offer – because you never know when you'll need to defend your loot.

But the excitement doesn't end there. Surrounding these wells, you'll discover planter boxes brimming with crops ready for the taking. And keep an eye out for the special new food crates that drop those much-desired teas. These wells have become a mini oasis of resources, a hidden gem that's not marked on the map at the moment, adding an element of surprise and discovery to your adventure.
Legacy Wood Pile
As a throw back to the Rust legacy days comes the introduction of Legacy Wood Piles. These are not just any wood piles; they're a nostalgic nod to the past, now reimagined for the modern game. With these piles, you can say goodbye to the tedious wood-chopping grind. A few swings of your trusty hatchet, and you'll be the proud owner of 1000 wood. It's like striking gold for every lumberjack out there!

Rugged Hatchet Skin: Perfect for those who want to chop wood or ward off enemies, this hatchet skin combines functionality with style.
Blunder Buster: This new skin for the double barrel shotgun is nothing short of fierce. It's designed to turn your weapon into a showstopper, making every shot count.
High Wall Skin: There are whispers of a high wall skin that could transform your base into an impenetrable fortress, reminiscent of a frontier epic.
But hold your horses! As with all updates, these features are subject to change. The Rust team is known for their surprises, so who knows what else might be in store?
