Next forced wipe
Every Rust server wipes on the first Thursday of the month at 7 pm UK time. Here is how long is left, in your time and in UK time.
A forced wipe is the monthly reset that comes with Rust's monthly update: every server, official or community, starts on a fresh map. Blueprints stay unless Facepunch announces a blueprint wipe with that month's update.
The rule: the first Thursday of every month at 7 pm UK time, which is 19:00 UTC in winter and 18:00 UTC in summer. Servers come back over the next hour as owners update.
