Rust is a survival video game where players spawn on an island and must gather resources to survive amongst hundreds of other players. There are various monuments full of resources to be explored and looted. Players are able to traverse the map using things varying from horses to helicopters. What makes Rust unique is that its servers are active 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you log off the game your base is a sitting duck, completely undefended and easy for other players to raid and take over. Due to this, players spend a lot of time online in order to protect their base from being raided. The more these players play the better they become, and many of those players are featured in this article.

Considering Rust has averaged roughly 94k players in the past 30 days, Tacularr’s following is very impressive and a testament to his skill.
