Rust update (August 6, 2021) is now available to download on PC (Steam). According to the official Rust patch notes, the latest update added procedural underwater labs, submarines, fishing, and more. Apart from this, Rust patch also includes 8 new types of fish, Sharks, and Spear Gun.
A significant update was previously released with balancing, gameplay changes, and a long list of bug fixes. Unfortunately, some players are still experiencing a number of issues while playing the game.
Today’s Rust PC patch will fix a few of these issues. Check out more details below.
Rust Patch Notes (August Update)
The new underwater labs are fully procedural dungeons that reside on the ocean floor. They will come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and for now, with two entry points. You enter them from a ‘moonpool’ in which you re-surface with your submarine. From there, make sure you have come prepared to face the various puzzles on offer.
