The state of the game is unreal

For context, I have 9khrs, been playing since 2019, and I’ll just be straight up and say what the streamers won’t because there’s financial incentive to speak good of the game

Every forcewipe it’s 5-6 cheaters, 30-100hour accounts, they play get banned, or just get bored and server hop usually terrorising your play session for a few hours, if EAC does catch them, it’ll be in 2-3 months

Kevlar isn’t balanced. 60% head, 65% body.. 4 headshots of an ak to kill AT CLOSE RANGE, combined with barricade spamming

Medium/long range pvp is pretty much dead in 2026 rust, it’s just up close pvp wall mechanics and monument reward esp and free-cam, your positioning matters much less then your gear set

Early combat update wasn’t perfect, but the gear damage resistance was consistent you could still put in work with a sar against a full metal hitting headshots, trying to kill a Kevlar player with a T2 gun feels awful, getting a jump is incredibly difficult when positioning doesn’t matter nearly as much

Alistair pls remove pvp walls, or limit stacks to 1 and make it a workbench item, please stop making the core combat loop repetitive and generic like a free to play game

It all went downhill when armour plates were added you should NOT be able to get the same protection in a roadsign jacket as a fullmetal with 750 wood…
