I Thought Tarkov Prepared Me For Rust. I Was Wrong

I've been watching Rust for years but never actually sat down and played it properly — until now. Coming from a background in hardcore extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov and Arena Breakout Infinite, I figured the transition would be straightforward. Spoiler: it wasn't. In this video I drop solo onto one of the hardest servers in the game for my very first wipe, with three goals in mind — reach a Tier 3 workbench, get my hands on a Tier 3 weapon, and build a fully functioning base with working electronic systems. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, quite a lot — starting with my neighbours. 📱 All Socials & Links: linktr.ee/offsidegunner #Rust #RustGame #FirstWipe #SoloRust #ExtractionShooter #RustGameplay #Survival
