Premium Servers

To access Premium Servers, your Rust Steam inventory must be valued at $15 or more. This includes items from the Permanent Store, such as building skins, décor packs, and hazmat skins, as well as any other tradable Rust items with an attached value. Currently we do not include Rust's standalone DLC such as Instruments, Sunburn and voice props packs (this may change in future).

Facepunch initially communicated a $20 threshold, but after analysing data from millions of accounts, they've settled on $15 as a more effective starting point. This is based on a comparison of banned accounts versus regular players, aiming to strike a balance between accessibility and cheat deterrence, although opting on the lower end.

• Premium Servers will only be visible if your account meets the $15 threshold.
• Premium Servers will be ranked higher on the server listings against their non Premium server counterparts.
• This won’t stop every cheat user, but it’s an extra layer of friction against disposable cheat accounts.
• The $15 threshold may change over time, and we may introduce additional factors to refine premium status.
