The April 6th, 2023 Patch for Rust is live in-game, bringing with it improved map markers, pings, a new double saddle item, and much more!

This page acts as a comprehensive breakdown of all the new content and changes that came as part of the April 6th, 2023 Patch Notes for Rust.

Map Marker Improvements

The maximum number of markers has been increased to 5 and a new set of controls will now allow you to store useful information along with your map.

To edit a marker, select it and you can change the color, icon, and add a label should you wish. The label will be slimmed down to three characters when displayed on the compass. If you are the leader of a team, all teammates will see your markers as well as their own.

Pings

Pings are a new system to help you more effectively communicate to your teammates when using reconnaissance tools like cameras, drones and the binoculars.

While using any of these items, double tap the assigned key/button to ping the location/object in view. All teammates will see this ping, regardless of who the ping came from.

You can also hold the ping key down to access a radial menu with all of the ping options in case you need more flexibility.

Double Horse Saddle

This new item allows for two players to mount and ride a horse. This is in addition to the standard single saddle, so you can choose which to use depending on your situation. You can swap the type of saddle via the horse radial menu. Both saddle items are available for purchase from the stablemaster or via crafting.

World Model Refresh

A long anticipated update, new world models have arrived. You will now be able to tell if you have dropped HV, Incendiary, or Normal Rockets. New world models have also been created for the different types of shotgun shells.

Some of the items that have had a model refresh include:

From April 6th to April 13th, every 24-38 hours in-game hours an Easter egg hunt will begin. You'll have 3 minutes to collect as many eggs as you can. The top 3 players are given special eggs as a reward. These eggs can be cracked open for various types of loot ranging from scrap all the way up to an M249!

There are various items available to help you during your hunt. The Easter Basket will allow instant pickup of eggs and the Bunny Onesie and Ears will provide you with an advantage via Egg Vision.
