[@zeni3382]

Raid is owned by a gambling company and uses extreme predatory techniques to exploit their player base. They are the worst of the worst. Stop playing while you can. Or at the very least dont spend.

[@BriggsUK]

While i dont judge Willjum for taking Raids sponsorship. It is a huge problem as this game has many issues, Gambling as mentioned by Zeni, Please watch any one of the raid shadow legends reviews or Sponsorship controversy on youtube, or even just read a CNN report. www.ccn.com/raid-shadow-legends-just-got-caught-in-the-stupidest-lie-imaginable/

[@twistedsilver01]

Some more advice from a successful solo who's also terrible at gun play: 1) Keep a paper and pen handy, or a text document. I write down every square that a heli goes down in, squares of big bases or bases whos players are giving you a hard time. This is helpful for when you feel like simply roaming for pvp or decayed bases, as you'll know where some stuff is. I used to write down squares I was downed in, but with the new map death icon, saves some space. Also good if you plan on staying on a server for a while to keep a list of trustworthy and not players. I know people often change their steam names, but this has paid dividends when looking for certain items to trade for. 2) Practice gunplay on aiming servers. It really does help, even if you're bad at it, to have some understanding of each gun's recoil, and it'll help you find one you prefer. 3) Doorcamping works. People will talk shit, but all is fair in love, war, and Rust. If you've been doorcamped before, gotta adjust your base build to take that option away. 4) Get good at farming good. @Willjum mentioned the snow biome as the best for nodes. This is true, but on every map, in every biome, there spots where nodes are far more likely to spawn. I'd write those down for the wipe. As for scrap, nothing beats the ocean still. I like the kayak, and if anything this has made the ocean waaaaay less populated early on in wipe, with the only other boats I've seen being a duo going to rig, and a group that took the rhib off cargo. Don't forget the Outpost's resource exchange vendor. 4500 stone=15000 wood. Don't forget to tap your jackhammer to save durability. 5) Plant farming is still very profitable. You can still do the Cloth to scrap vendor. It's been nerfed, but as a solo you often have more cloth than to know what to do with. Tea is so incredibly useful that I'm shocked more solos don't invest a bit of base space for it. Not only are the buffs great at saving you time, you can sell the tea for a decent prices, be it sulfur or scrap. 6) If you do have big clan neighbors, talking can really help. On the car update, I made a small garage, and a 6 person clan happened to move in within sniper range. I got killed twice coming over, but eventually I got a word in to say, hey I'm your little solo neighbor, just farming some BPs, I don't keep more than TC and I'm not planning on getting above tier 2, so could y'all play nice for me maybe? Not only did this work, I joined them for the next wipe, was good fun. Dialogue and politeness can get you far more in this game than steady aim sometimes. Solo is all about balancing risk vs reward. I mean the whole game is, but as a solo, your risk is typically everything you're carrying, and maybe even your vehicle or horse. So the name of the game is to limit that risk while maximizing that reward. @Willjum really nailed it with the "return every 10-15 minutes to drop" rule. The logic is, if you make 6 trips with smaller amounts of items, and you die once, you've lost 1/6 of what you were doing. If you do 3 trips full inventory, and die once, you've lost 1/3, and you're pissed because it was full inventory. Never assume you'll just win it back, because it's just you. Play smart and you'll at least carve yourself out a spot. LOVE the content Willjum, keep it coming!

[@ImHaizen]

My question is, how do people hop in expecting to get jackhammer, I have played for a while and hardly ever come across one, people make it seem so easy to get or I’m just missing something.

[@lescourtney657]

One tip that I use. When farming wood, don't cut the tree all the way down. Get 4 or 5 trees on the verge of falling. Basically one or two hits away. Then when you are ready take them all down and dip. When a tree falls it makes a lot of noise, so this eliminates the odds of someone hearing and countering you.

I’ve been neglecting getting back into solo ever since my friends quit trios, but this honestly gave me the confidence to try it again. It’s good to know there are other solos who aren’t great at PVP, and that still enjoy the game regardless of their skill against others

Look at the brightside. Now you need to invest a bit of scrap, but also you will encounter people much more rarely. Also you can buy scuba gear while you're getting a boat so you can escape any encounter if you do happen to come by someone.

[@anthonywilliams6458]

I've never actually played rust but I have watched hours and hours of you guys and have to say your explanation is probably the smartest and healthiest description I've heard so far. Maybe one day I'll actually invest in a PC and jump on a server but until then thx for the entertainment 👍

You know what’s funny willjum. This is the first video i watch of you, but when u started talking about the mental aspect of learning how to let go of your possessions, i felt that i really needed that; mentally & emotionally. And I am not talking just about rust but it really is a mind state that extends far beyond success in game but out of it, success and mental stability in life. I really needed that highlighted for me, especially now. Thanks :)

Additional tip: When running to your start location, place some bags along the way so you don't have to run the whole way again if killed.

[@Aelanna]

I don't know why, but every server I've been on finding hemp is near impossible. I'm lucky if I get enough just to make the one bag for my base.

[@MrBronx819]

I recently got back into Rust and decided to try and live out a peaceful life in a snowy mountain as a hermit. Then I watched this video and it affirmed all the reasons for where I put my base. In the snow away from spawns, not near any neighbors or roads, and a couple monuments nearby that I can go through every couple hours.

Great video and great advice! I play solo as well. One thing ive been doing lately that i think helps is similar to your idea of farming after losing a fight. If i take a a big L sometimes ill just spawn in naked randomly and just roam around a bit. Helps you see more of the map and you may even find a decayed base or a good raid target. Keep up the good work Wiljum!

I’ve been watching rust for 4 years now and i finally got a pc about a week and a half ago and I’ve been playing rust non stop since then and this honestly helped me out a lot Bc it makes me so mad when I die especially when I have a inventory of loot. Now I’ll start dropping loot off rather than running around with it and build farther from spawn points in the beginning & I’m gonna try to keep a positive mindset all the time but it is hard on such a toxic game 😂

[@thelegendarypotato8475]

Hey man another great idea is to turn off global chat and turn off voices I've been playing rust since 2013 and ive had to take so many breaks due to the toxicity tilting me but the second everybody is muted it doesnt feel that toxic it just feels like the way rust was ment to be played without the community being shit

[@Lizardmanisbest]

I have been a solo player for a couple hundred hours now, and I find immense joy in this playstyle. The biggest part of it is just as you say: one must be able to let go of your loot and accept loss. Getting sniped at random is Rust. Getting jumped by two dudes while smacking barrels is Rust. Winning a battle only to get murked by a bear while healing is Rust. This game is losing often, but when you prevail it is truly wondrous.

"There are no spawn points in the snow" I've been playing console version and this is NOT true. I've spawned in the cold and snow many times, it's very annoying because I had no resources to stay warm and there was no food. I also disagree with woods. If you are a NEW player building your first base the woods are great because there's lots of resources around. You just have to look out for anyone with guns and try to avoid building too close to other bases.

[@liammyers5903]

I would agree, console rusts smaller map size makes it hard to keep your base unknown so any concealment helps, plus door campers are pretty easy to deal with from my experience.

[@wa1ser]

There's one big factor you haven't included in your video: diversification. Building multiple small bases so you don't have to worry about upkeep is critical for successful solo plays. Door camped in one base? Spawn somewhere else. Got raided overnight? No big deal, I've got five more.

[@twistedsilver01]

Toxic feedback loop is the worst part of Rust. I wish people would remember "Is only game, why you have to be mad?" when they either win or lose fights. Poor losing is understandable, but sore winners are the absolute worst. Example: Wipe day, I attempted a play on a dude farming, he had a metal pick and I hadn't bped it yet, plus maybe some farm. Didn't see he already had a revolver, hit my crossie shot but he won. I say, from the ground, "gg, heard the pick and tried the play but you got me, nice shooting." He comes up and tells me my mother is a whore, I deserved to fucking die, and he hated me, and wished I died behind my computer as well. Now, I'm 32, so that shit doesn't usually phase me, but I respawn and just kinda sat in my base for a minute to reflect on that poor guy's attitude. Like, dude won, got a compliment from the guy he beat, and that was his response? Now I'm sure I'll get "get gud" and "welcome to rust" replies, but was any of that necessary? But, in this game, you gotta pick that bag, spawn back in, and get back to it. Welcome to Rust.

@DinkleDigeroo I fundamentally disagree. People get toxic for entirely circumstantial reasons that they personally could have chosen to act differently/evolve with the meta. As for losing boats, the whole point is to build a kayak. You can do rig easily with a kayak. Yes cargo costs 200 for a motorboat now, but considering what you can get in drops, not bad. Also it has a rhib on the back that you then keep or use to get your boat back. It's always been harder as a solo. As for scrap, grow some cloth, they literally added farm stuff, just sell it. Tea sells like crazy. Cloth, while nerfed, sells good too. Gotta evolve with the meta. I know it sucks sometimes, but that's life with a game that changes. Try being a longtime Magic the Gathering player when they added the planeswalker cardtype. You roll with the punches or you get knocked down.

Your mind set tip is so good. As a new person, thank you for the reminder

[@thomasjackson4465]

One thing that’s helped me a lot for being a solo if I start out on a new server with no bp’s I’ll try to build next to a harbor. Low grade/crude is insane for getting down plenty of furnaces to upgrade, and it’s a tier 1 monument so no one really goes there much. Can get some pretty decent scrap as well to make your way down the tier lists

Thank you for this video! I’m new to Rust and I really needed to hear these strategies and what you said about not getting attached to the items you have.

[@kaicoxd5983]

That was the most wholesome sponsor shoutout.💛 I usually just ignore those parts in Rust videos. Just the fact that you included your level and the time spent. Shows sometimes it’s not all about the money.

[@alexanderhamilton0]

It's included in the script Raid gives to everyone they sponsor. It's about nothing but the money lol, Raid is a disguised slot machine that persuades children into constant micro-transactions. Nobody promoting it actually likes it. Raid dumps half it's profits back into marketing, paying a shit ton of money to their sponsors. They say they like it because that's the only way they'll get the massive amounts of money they're offered. I'm not saying this guy's worse for doing it for that reason, because Raid's the real problem. I'm just saying be careful not to fall for their extremely shady marketing and business practices. Not everything Is what it seems to be. :)

[@dfuz3flame821]

I loved this video so much. This makes me really want to hop on solo. Imma get on a Monday wipe right when I get home. Immediate follow, keep it up
