Transforming Rust with Kindness: My Social Experiment

Today I'm attempting the impossible. To be friendly in Rust! With a game so known for it's toxic behaviour, taking chances and being kind to people can certainly have it's draw backs.
With the goal of opening a taxi service, I instead found myself part of something much much more. A village of friendly and new players. So of course, let's help em out!

When I first started me and my friend could barely get off the beach without dying to a bore or player. We came across a duo that was skeptical at first but we were so new to the game they thought there was no way we had bad intentions. Ended up playing with them for over a year and they taught us everything about the game. Super cool people

[@ReksAdventures]

I've met tons of nice players in rust and I've had the opportunity to be that player for people aswell! Always a great time

[@lestertheguy1734]

A lotta people can be nice when they aren’t shouting slurs at you for slapping their forehead with a rock

[@hobblerr]

being nice in rust is one of the best experiences you can have in this game

Someones gotta show people there's more to rust! Thanks for the love

[@iravendarknessi]

This is the truest statement that has ever existed. People in Rust get so angry when you aren't enjoying the game by making everyone around you miserable. Watching Reks and Co. have fun in other ways makes me wanna keep playing

[@aviv3]

"Whats wrong with you?" "where do you want to start"🤣

[@ReksAdventures]

I don't think either of us had time for that

[@valerienelkin1515]

Bahahha, came here for this quote lol

[@Titus-yi9yu]

This is my favorite quote in years

[@Rustitect]

Awesome video as always! The most friendly/wholesome interaction in Rust I had was once, when I plugged in a phone I found just for the jokes and someone actually called a few hours later telling me "Hi man, just wanna give you a quick call and hope you have a wonderful day" - I had no idea who he was and he had no idea who I was. That little moment really changed my perspective on Rust.

[@ReksAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@Wendifur_]

If that guy really knew FancyOrb, they'd know he doesn't really play Rust. Also, this was a great video, I liked it. Always entertaining when people play along and work together

[@ReksAdventures]

Lol valid point!

[@mike-e3028]

Love your stuff Reks. Always play a friendly character on one of the facepunch servers, its become a major part of the brand, and most folks pick me up when they see me out now. Helps to have an outlook to "expect rust to happen" and just laugh it off and tell people its all good they door camped/raided/shot you. A DB to the face could just be a simple "morn'n neighbor" if you laugh at it right. (p.s. another canadian invading rust here)

[@ReksAdventures]

Great mentality to have!

That was fun. My 2 favorite moments were when you mentioned portable loot boxes. I remember the first time I heard you call them that several videos back. It’s just a funny line. The second being “what’s wrong with you?” “Where do you want to start?” 😂

What a good Video to end off my night. Don't have to many good interactions towards me but when I started, some nice guy was near where I based. I told him I was new to the game so he brought me on a farm trip / roam and just threw a bolty with a 4x and told me to follow him and watch his back, We died. Great video Reks keep up the funny oddly wholesome rust content!

Much appreciated abbie, glad you're enjoying

[@the1truejimmer952]

I head right to outpost after I stop by a river with hundreds of pumpkin seeds and a variety of berries and start planting them for the servers players. I usually live in a two by one that has a chest with only a note that states don’t you feel like an ass for wasting your time in it. I am a public provider. Guns,ammo, and blunt weapons ha I need non of these. All I need is seeds and time. The server I’m on has its share of toxic players that destroy it and I laugh in their face when they do, because the majority of the room will drop me seeds in seconds. I start planting all over again. And the toxic players usually end up getting troll raided by the majority of the server until they understand that I’m not to be touched. I’m a giver not a taker and when people come to me they know that in that short interaction they got a refreshing break from the toxicity of the game for just that moment. There are enough assholes in rust and I choose not to be one of them. I love everything you post. I laugh so hard at you and the guys when you’re interacting with sharp weapons harvesting long pork aka human meat just to feed it to other players 😂😂😂

I would no longer trust anyone in rust. I have the ultimate betrayal story. Normal vanilla rust. I found two players friendly and we played a full wipe trustworthy they knew were all my stashes were and it was worthy loot. I teamed with another eventually all of us were on a team. 4 players. Well there was a toxic group 12 they raided everyone but I grinded myself got around 130 rockets 20 C4 and so many satchels on regular rust. Comps were insane had half box of garage doors just insane loot honestly. I think I had around 250 tech trash. Yes vanilla loot. But our teammate left the team and told me he's in siding that toxic group I'm like sweat that's what we need. So I'm like can you sneak away material no they didn't trust us with codes yet I was suspicious at the start but I trusted this kid because he never taken anything before that. The night of the betrayal his text messages were just weird that confirmed it. I got on next day everything was gone grief our base full compound I had 3 layers of walls also. We found a new player that built a little down from us and without knowing he snuck up there he heard explosions he said they were opening up doors I'm like he let them in etc. all my stashes were dug up also never trusting another again. He would have to be vetted heavily for 6 months knowing we're half my good loot would be you know. I actually worked myself creating all that boom my teammate that stayed loyal throughout he just focused on metal and building the compound. He set all garage doors to open up at once besides the first 3 at the front of the base it was sweat. I wanted to get revenge against the group but I'm not doing all that work solo again.

We love feedback. But legit don't know what you mean, bro IS the slightly overdramatic type, and instead of having like a "plan" for this particular wipe he just went on vibing... I can tell you Reks is a terrible actor, and he's not acting... thats just him, if you ever met him on Tommy Gun frag mod, you'd see this is just him... vibing hanging out, bro is a 10k+ hour legacy player... and mostly enjoys RPing and talking to people... So if you were like "this just seems over the top" it might be how I am showing the story and less about him being genuine...
