Console vs PC — Don't Mix Them Up
If you came from PC, unlearn the first-Thursday rule. PC force-wipes on the firstThursday of the month at ~19:00 UTC. Console's monthly servers wipe on the last Thursday at 18:00 UTC. That's usually three weeks apart, so applying PC's schedule to console will have you building a base days before it gets wiped.
Map Wipe vs Blueprint Wipe
Double Eleven run two kinds. A map wipe resets the world, your base and all loot, but your learned blueprints survive — so you rebuild fast and skip the tech grind. A blueprint wipe resets those too, and everyone starts genuinely from zero.
Blueprint wipes are the real reset, and the ones worth planning around. Community servers set their own rules and schedules entirely, so none of the above is guaranteed on one.
Schedule verified 2026-07-16 against Double Eleven's official FAQ. Dates above are computed from that rule, not hand-typed.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does Rust Console wipe?expand_more
It depends which server you're on. Official weekly servers wipe every Thursday at 18:00 UTC. Official monthly servers wipe on the last Thursday of the month at 18:00 UTC. Community servers set their own schedules and can wipe whenever they like.
What time does Rust Console wipe?expand_more
18:00 UTC for both official weekly and monthly servers — that's 2:00 PM ET, 11:00 AM PT, or 7:00 PM BST.
Does Rust Console wipe at the same time as PC?expand_more
No, and this is the single most common console-wipe misconception. PC force-wipes on the FIRST Thursday of the month at around 19:00 UTC. Console's monthly servers wipe on the LAST Thursday at 18:00 UTC. Different week, different hour, different game.
What's the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe on console?expand_more
A map wipe resets the world, buildings and loot but you keep your learned blueprints. A blueprint wipe does all that AND resets your blueprints, so everyone starts from nothing. Double Eleven run both types.
Do Rust Console community servers follow the same wipe schedule?expand_more
No. Community servers set their own wipe cadence — the Thursday schedule only applies to official servers. Check the server itself before you commit a base to it.
