How do I get good at rust

[analog elk]

I’m in school so I can’t play 24/7 I really want to play weeklies but every time I try I can’t get setup. I’m below or just average at pvp and really bad at now pvp I can’t afford ptb to practice I just want to have fun with my friends. I’m old gen but would appreciate any real advice anyone can give

The test branch is free to do target practice well for ps at least

Build a small hidden bunker.

Honestly try to find a low pop weekly server. Dont build a big base maybe try to build a rock base design or any cozy bunker bases for you and your friends to play out of. Run monuments such as Trainyard, Sewer and Dome and try to move on to higher tier monuments. Try to get blueprints and a tier2 and snowball with your friends (Try not to let people see you’re base, So you and your friends have the least chance of getting offlined).

If you buy the cobalt pack you get test branch.

My advice would be to just get on a high pop weekly and try to get a gun n snowball and don’t care about losing any guns just go shoot ppl n have fun and if you get a lot of loot and make a big team mad expect to be offline and just have fun and repeat

Honestly starting on a low pop is better so you can actually get an idea of how to properly run monuments and get better with high tier gear. Then after like 3 weekly wipes go to a mid pop and repeat and when you start feeling like that’s easy go to high pop servers then when that gets easy get a PC and start all over again
