Born to Rust Video: Raid Denied

OperatorDan and his buddies interrupt a raid attempt on a Ghost tower. What follows is a pretty entertaining gunfight. Freecam footage below. Enjoy!

2/29 Edit:

Here’s a second video of the gunfight — this one is from a player’s perspective (courtesy of OperatorDan). It’s really cool to see it from both angles and have the commentary of the players to go along with it!

Server Picnic

Want to win a $20 Steam gift card? Show up to the server picnic, organized by Readythepies, at the Airfield on Monday, February 29, at 10:00 PM EST. Violence disqualifies you from the gift card raffle, so bring a dish and don’t be a dick if you want to win.

Rules and Details:

  • All are welcome
  • No violence
  • Everyone bring a dish
  • All attendees will be entered in a raffle to win a $20 Steam gift card
  • Anyone who commits violence will be disqualified
Readythepies will write down the names of everyone who shows up, and draw one at random out of a bowl in real life. Usually the last week before a wipe is kind of dull, so it’s fun to see people trying to liven things up a bit. If you have any questions or concerns, contact me at admin@borntorust.com.

Server Update: 2/11/16

Happy Thursday!
