Rust update adds ping system, double saddles, and Easter eggs

pcgamesn.com:

Communication is key in the new Rust update, which packs in plenty of multiplayer functionality that will be very welcome for those of you who enjoy playing with friends (or even interacting with random players) in the survival game. With updates to the map markers system, the long-awaited introduction of pings, and a way to ride about the open world together with a buddy, co-op fans will be delighted. There’s also Easter festivities, so get your egg baskets ready and read on for the full details.

First up is an update to map markers, with an upgrade allowing you to now place up to five at once and new tools to edit the colour and label type of your markers. You can also add manual labels to them, although these will be shortened to three characters when shown on your compass. Markers placed by team leaders will show up to all teammates alongside their own.

Pings have been introduced for even more on-the-fly communication. When using cameras, drones, or binoculars, you can now single-tap the assigned ping key to place a contextual ping, double-tap it for a red ping designed to represent danger, or hold the key down for a radial menu that includes six different options for you to manually choose from. All teammates will see pings, and they will last for ten seconds unless manually cancelled.

If you’ve ever wished you could ride around with a friend cuddled up behind you, you’re in luck – a new double horse saddle has been added to Rust. By default, wild horses will spawn with a single-seater saddle, but you can switch this to a double using the horse radial menu once you have one in your inventory. Much like the single saddle, the double variant is available for purchase from the stablemaster or can be manually crafted.
