DEV BLOG #7 — Rust Console Edition

The Cargo Ship is arriving at full speed!

Many of you got it right! Yes, the next content update will bring the Cargo Ship as well as a new weapon to Rust Console Edition that has been highly requested.

The update required a little bit more time when compared to others, due to the nature of the content we are adding. The Cargo Ships are moving objects and work more like events instead of fixed monuments. That made the process of porting it a lot more challenging and we had to spend some extra time optimising it in order for it to be ready to be tested on the staging branch. Preparations are almost complete and the Oceanbound update should release in the middle of July over on the Staging Branch. 

With this content update we will also bring the L96 Rifle to the game, as a new weapon. This sniper is extremely deadly but requires pinpoint precision in order to be used efficiently.

Once the usual tests are completed on the staging branch, and we get to polish the content a bit more, we will then announce a release date for the main branch. Right now our priority is to make sure that the Cargo Ship is functional and that players have a good time when trying to take it over!
