Bohemia's Dean Hall declares that Rust is no DayZ clone, and he believes it to be a great game in its own right.
Rust's naval update has added boat building to the survival sandbox, allowing players to sail to a dangerous deep sea.
DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.
And festive events, exclusive skins and plenty of true Rust chaos await throughout December.
I've always viewed Rust as more of a base building game. Obviously both games goal is to survive, but with Rust, I'm always finding new ways to build and defend a better base from bandits and never stray too far away from home. Where as in DayZ, I'm all over the place trying to survive moving from location to location.
Bought this for my oldest son and he loves it. I would not consider this a clone of Dayz.
