I've done both. Solo is more tense and rewarding but groups with the right people are unmatched chaos.

Anonymous - 04/08/26 10:04 AM No.304 group with the boys is the only real rust experience

nocturne - 04/08/26 11:04 AM No.303 duo is the sweet spot honestly, someone always online but not too many to coordinate

nocturne - 04/08/26 12:04 PM No.305 solo on a low pop server is genuinely peaceful

Honeycomb is still king but I've been running 2x2 towers with external TCs and it's working great. Anyone else experimenting?

nocturne - 04/07/26 9:04 PM No.298 I went back to basic 2x2 bunker, not trying to maintain a massive base solo

froge - 04/07/26 10:04 PM No.297 external TCs are the play, keeps raid costs high

user3847 - 04/08/26 12:04 AM No.299 triangle bases are actually underrated for the footprint vs EHP ratio

Guest - 04/08/26 3:04 AM No.300 the meta doesn't matter if you're getting offline raided at 4am every wipe

I always rush Thompson when I can. Semi-auto rifle is also solid. What's everyone's go-to?

nocturne - 04/05/26 6:04 AM No.145 custom SMG for close range is crazy good

nocturne - 04/05/26 7:04 AM No.146 MP5A4 if you can afford it, outclasses most things at mid range

They even left a note inside. It said 'gg'. I'm quitting rust.
