[@remcodemeijer]

My exact tought when i saw the heli

[@BladerunnerJake]

The solo watching, a 60man clan decend on him with 5 fully armord cars and 20 attack helis. While cowering in his 2x2 ( he stole 50 cloth)

[@cupcakes5202]

Moral of the story : stealing is bad

[@derpderpin1568]

thats what solos deserve. its never ever been designed as a solo game, stop being such a ridiculous introvert and plug your mic in.

And we all know AloneInTokyo is up for that challenge!!

did you just throw punctuation in there and hope it was right?

[@Aperturee]

I remember watching this youtube channel years ago when it had maybe 10k subscribers I still played the game. I no longer play it but still come to watch the content just because of how good the quality is. Awesome work SHADOWFRAX!

Thank you!

[@mints4997]

​@@SHADOWFRAXI would really like to know ur opinion on the current state of the game

[@derpderpin1568]

@@mints4997 the same as its always been but with more content by the month, and the player numbers agree. Rust was never ever designed as a solo game and its sheer coincidence that it has ever functioned as one at all. they also should never design with solos in mind. it's not a solo game. a group has been better than a solo literally for the games entire existence. playing solo has always been the unofficial challenge mode. every single update people complain about 'the state of the game' and have for years and years yet the game is doing incredibly well and is still one of the highest and most consistently played paid games on the market.

[@cyanthewater8991]

imagine chilling on your tug and suddenly you see a barrage of HV coming toward you

[@Sinaduel]

There goes the neighborhood. Zergs just nuking starter bases an hour into wipe.

[@JJW3]

There needs to be an inexpensive MANPAD available for solos to counter this new heli, like a Strela/Stinger. It would be nice to see a roaming SPAAG added, like a ZSU-23-4, that would wreck these things. Maybe the ZSU could escort the Bradley as they patrol.

[@idk_something301]

I don't play rust because it is not my type of game, but mad respect to the devs for being able to spew out so much high quality updates in such a short amount of time. Biggest reason why I try to support the rust community is because of dedicated the devs really are

[@jakehuizingh2985]

Hold up, you have that much spare time? You watch game updates on games you don't play? Sheeesh

[@christopia4936]

After such a long wait, finally some decent updates. At this point, RUST 2 is making alot more sense. Just forget all the bugs, glitches and other broken mechanics and start fresh, could've had it wrapped up by now if they started once they saw how broken the game was becoming.

They should add a heli pad on tugboats. That chopper would be perfect for sub defense

[@zebulaun]

​@@jonnybravo5285you can already land minis on it but you have to be careful because it'll blow up if you turn weird

[@jonnybravo5285]

@@zebulaun I know you can land on it. The issue is not everyone is great at piloting to avoid the error of crashing. At 2,250 scrap, that’s a huge investment to just crash each time your in a hurry to land. Putting the helipad would make it more user friendly and less likely to crash. A tug/heli combo would be an amazing combo for both rigs and labs. Especially for solos who can’t carry all the loot in one inventory

[@elbarto8282]

I've never would've thought that the game I purchased so many years ago, the least promising of the early access era when every game was released unfinished and ended up staying unfinished, was going to become, by far, the best early access ever in history by terms of developing and updating.

[@rpnp2]

I know especially way back in day the game was a rough grind, but they have done a way better job than i ever anticipated.

[@derpderpin1568]

they have the best update cycle in gaming. monthly guaranteed updates you can always expect for years now. the only people that complain about this game are the idiot solos that are too introverted to turn on their mic who don't realize Rust has always and will forever be designed around its large server populations. it's effectively a massively multiplayer game and should be designed as such.

[@lightswitch2622]

@@derpderpin1568 playing solo is fun

well, its not an early access game so..

With the rate you can fire rockets, I wouldn’t be surprised seeing zergs building massive raid bases with these sticking out of murder holes 😂

[@kosnickn]

No changes to offline raid meta, tech tree system, near infinite respawns, any sort of a change to make roof camping less effective , but woo we have a helicopter

[@tyrrant1374]

You can say roofcamping is less effective with a helicopter that can destroy you

[@CHEDDAHD]

i cant believe after 10 years, Torches STILL don't give you at least a little bit of warmth

[@cjn0]

I think you should be able to use the gunner and fire missile while flying at the same time in the gunner, but instead it's fixed on wherever the heli is aiming, that way solos can also use the heli and it's not only for duo+, but when a passenger is in the seat, they would be able to control the gunner and fire wherever they want.

[@Rikian319]

Got to play with Helk on Staging yesterday. He mentioned the new heli being a little too fast and would like to see the pilot be able to shoot the rockets. We'll see how it goes!

[@FunIeader]

The attack heli addition and the clan table are the final things I needed to finally sell all my collection of skins as a working husband. Officially can't even bother with this game anymore lmao.

[@Logan-jb3uo]

Mixed emotions as a solo duo style player. It's awesome that facepunch has been working hard and giving us persistent good content. But at the same time it's fazing some people out especially us solos and duos. It's a double edge sword. No one will ever be happy but it's nice to see big things added. It will still be fun.

[@Goatboy451]

Yeah, it looks cool but I know I'll never be able to fly one.

[@planetwomanizzi]

[@cornecloete69]

Only for solos, those in groups should not be allowed to have.

[@dirrtydevildog]

I love how "The Team" is trying to integrate items like backpacks that have been on modded for years. Honestly, it's refreshing and I think the more options the better! Oblivion showed the attack heli using regular rockets just yesterday. Perhaps it's one of those items that were subject to change.... Great video as always, look forward to the next one!

[@nathandingy]

Yeah if it could use regular rockets zergs could wipe the whole map in a day

[@cornecloete69]

The problem is deciding how to integrate them in a balanced way. Modded servers don't always care about balance, zergs would be very op with backpacks so would be better to restrict to solos.

[@valkasolidor6727]

I love that you can arm the assault chopper with the trumpet. I won't rest until I see a short of someone on a missile attack run while their partner plays Flight of the Valkyries on a dollar store quality trumpet.

[@conceitedxo]

@@YukiPyro they're literally adding mostly stuff the community wants and or stuff they think the community wants. They just do not address the controversial oppinoins which i think you are refrerring to. The best example for that is recoil. Half the player base wants recoil and the other half either doesnt care or wants to keep the old recoil. What part of the community are they supposed to listen to?

[@JoaoBatista-yq4ml]

Realistically it's more like once every 2 months, some updates are just a new skin and some fixes which is something that most games do

[@waaggzz2871]

The Flares that you find should be able to go into aircraft as anti-missile flares.

[@itsmehere1]

I love the low res gunner view it has now, it makes more sense to have lower quality equipment on a thrown together attack helicopter and also serves as a kind of balancing factor to make it not as OP as it could otherwise be.

[@radius507]

"mission implausible" had me rolling lmaooo

[@SextonKing]

They’ll probably have a default “deathbag” that despawns when emptied, and the backpack will just sit there until you reclaim it or someone else loots/takes it. That would be my approach anyway. The trick will be making sure it’s possible to distinguish which is which, since naturally you’ll want to prioritize getting back your personal inventory before recovering the backpack (in most cases I would think). If they start allowing skins for backpacks then it could be a headache if any look exactly like the “deathbag”

[@jbspecs]

Hello copter is badass, not enough to play again but the rust content will be epic
