Rust’s May update sees the survival game go nuclear

pcgamesn.com:

The Rust May update takes one of the best survival games on Steam nuclear. The Rust May patch notes are headlined by the addition of an all-new monument, the Nuclear Missile Silo. This new location can be found lurking under a rather unassuming military base, and promises all manner of valuable rewards for players brave enough to explore it.

The R-U-S-T update (that’s Repopulation Unit Survival Test) places this new location somewhere on the map, with it most easily being spotted by the presence of a tall radio tower. Trying to get inside the underground base might prove difficult, although there is one easy solution – wait for the large, ominous hatch to open and simply jump in.

Once underground, you’ll be able to explore “a deep underground missile silo that hosts a massive ICBM.” Importantly, that rather bold entrance method we just described does mean that getting back out might prove a lot tougher than getting in, so be sure you’re prepared for whatever you might encounter inside first.

As for what that might be, a new type of Scientist can be found in the corridors – one that will shoot at anyone who might be looking to disrupt their experiments. If you’re able to fight through, gathering loot and taking down enemies, you’ll eventually reach the elevators down to the base of the structure, where you’ll find the warm, red glow of a laptop counting down to nuclear armageddon.

The bunker area also lets you access security cameras around the facility, letting you spy on any other players who might be exploring its halls. You’ll also be able to reach the security room – your one chance to exit back to the surface, clutching your newfound gear.

This facility will also be tied into the Rust wipe cycle, with NPC activity
