As we get closer to the next Rust update on March the 2nd, what are some of the things we can expect to see being brought into the game? well we have been checking out different sources to see what we can find out and have found some exciting things on the horizon.
Player Controlled Drones.
I have been keeping an eye on the AUX and Staging branches of rust and can confirm that drones have been moved onto staging from the Aux branch and you can jump on a staging server and play with these new toys yourself, once you get your hands on a spanking new drone, you can link it to your CCTV control station and control it from here, flying it all over the place and using it for spying on your neighbours etc. currently though the range is only 250m on it, but I will be looking to extend this if possible to cover the entire server, Im looking forward to this one for sure.
Crafting Cost
200 Metal Frags
2 Tech Trash
1 CCTV Camera
Player controlled Turrets.
In addition to being able to control RC Drones players will also be able to assign an ID to each Auto Turret and once again link it to your Control Station and then control the turret and fire the turret from the confines of your base, this is going to make for some fun shenanigans I bet!
PZT Camera
If spying on your neighbours with Drones and shooting at them with your controllable turrets, your going to want to also keep a close eye on them to, yeah sure you can use standard CCTV cameras but they are fixed distance cameras, you need something a little more powerful to zoom into their base compounds and windows, so welcome the all new Pan, Zoom and Tilt or PZT Camera, complete with an entirely new world model.
Crafting Cost.
1 CCTV camera

Other Stuff.
Looking through the commits this month there has also been work going on for the hack week idea of a weapon rack, it looks as this idea will be implemented into game but no news as yet about when we are likely to see this in game, I know there isn't a real requirement for more storage options but it looks like that will not only hold and display your weapons but you will be able quickly grab and deposit your weapons on this rack.
Fixes - there is the normal slew of fixes being done to, common for almost all updates, this month looks like fixes to some sound effects, the deployment of some signs, and repair indicators not showing when fixing some things and finally some fixes to the poker game.
Future things.
Work continues on a number of new things expected in the near future including:
Progress on the new player Attack Helicopter.
New Missile Silo monument.
Zipline dismount fixes
As always we will post all the information of the update when it goes live on the Discord Channel.
