Force wipe countdown
The next Rust force wipe is on Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UK time (19:00 UTC), in 9 days and 1 hour.
Where you are, that's Thu 5 Nov 2026, 19:00 GMT.
This release counts down to the next Rust force wipe, when Facepunch resets every public server. The headline figure is the time remaining; below it are the same moment in major cities, the dates ahead and the servers recorded at the last wipe. Source date comes from Facepunch's update schedule; the wipe itself is observed when servers restart. Figures are rounded and checked every five minutes.

5. Questions and answers
What time is the Rust force wipe?
Facepunch schedules it for 19:00 UK time on the first Thursday of each month, which is 18:00 UTC in summer and 19:00 UTC in winter. The countdown on this page runs in your own time zone. City clocks above show the same moment elsewhere.
Do blueprints wipe at the Rust force wipe?
Every map resets, but blueprints reset only if the server operator chooses it. Official servers and many community servers wipe blueprints at the force wipe; others carry them across months. The server's own page under the directory records its settings. You can check the just wiped list to see which servers have already reset.
Why is the force wipe on a Thursday?
Facepunch ships its monthly Rust update on that day, and every server must move to the new version. A version change forces a map reset because old saves may not run on new code. The force wipe time is the point at which servers are expected to update.
How do you count servers at the force wipe?
We record each public server's restart from its response to our queries, which we send every five minutes. A server is counted as wiped when its map seed or build version changes after the force wipe time. Figures are rounded and published in the live player count. Servers that do not answer are listed as unreachable rather than counted as wiped.
