Rust: Everything Available at The New Fishing Villages

Rust just launched its September update, and along with its updates to workbenches, vehicles, and storage monitors, players can now visit fishing villages to purchase water-themed items. These areas are new to the game and show the potential to be expanded upon further in future updates. 

Fishing Villages can be found along the shoreline, and have a variety of items available that may be able to help players. There are two small villages and one large village. They are also safe zones, so players will not be able to engage in combat in these locations. If they attempt to, they will be shot down by peacekeeper turrets. Start a conversation with a shopkeeper to see what they have for sale, and it will quickly appear nearby after it is purchased. 

Boats in Rust’s Fishing Villages

Players can now purchase boats and other water-related vehicles from shopkeepers in fishing villages. These items will no longer spawn around the map; they can only be purchased in the villages. One of the vehicles that players can purchase from a shopkeeper is an RHIB’s (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat). This boat has five passenger seats and a driver’s seat. There is also a small chest to store items in. On top of that, the RHIB has a bulletproof windshield and takes low-grade fuel. RHIB’s can be purchased for 400 scrap.

A less durable vehicle, players can also purchase rowboats from these areas. They come equipped with a motor and can be stored in bases. If a rowboat is shot too many times, it will start to sink. This boat also takes low-grade fuel and is very handy for reaching resources across bodies of water. Rowboats can be purchased for 250 scrap,

 Players can also purchase kayak blueprints from shopkeepers. It can be crafted with metal, wood, and cloth, and has two seats. Kayaks are a great source of transportation, as it doesn’t require fuel to operate and is much stealthier than a motorboat. Paddles are necessary to operate it, however. They can also be used as a melee weapon on land. The paddle blueprint can be purchased for 25 scrap from a shopkeeper or found in sunken chests, crates, or from an oil rig scientist. A kayak blueprint can be purchased for 50 scrap. 

Scubagear in Rust’s Fishing Villages

Shopkeepers also sell scuba gear. A wetsuit costs 20 scrap, while diving masks, fins, and tanks all cost 25 scrap individually. None of these items can be crafted, and they all will come in handy while diving. 

With this update, players can now quickly purchase boats and boating accessories in a safe zone, and participate in more water warfare.

Rust is available on PC, Mac OS, Classic Mac OS, Linux, Play Station 4, and Xbox One.
