Rust's November update will give players a new reason to watch the skies, because after today those skies might be filled with high to a cardinal rockets screaming toward your base and/or face. The November update adds military bases to the map, and each basal has a missile-launching vehicle that can be used to pelting demise and destruction onto a specifically targeted area.

"The new Desert Military Pedestal monuments each own a parked Dual Launch Rocket System of rules (MLRS)," says Facepunch Studios. "This vehicle doesn't move—you won't embody driving it around the map—but it can be arrange up to fire rockets to any target. Leave off safe zones, naturally."

You can't just pass over into a base and hammer a man-sized Bolshevik launch button, however. You'll motive to first regain an MLRS armament module, which will be in a locked, hackable crate somewhere on the base. Then you'll need to collect the missiles themselves, which will seem in elite, APC, and round helicopter crates. Once you've loaded up on missiles, you'll use the targeting riddle to pick a location on the map, which we're guessing will be another player's counterfeit. Operating theater perhaps your own groundwork, if you smel same redecorating.

Then you can hammer the big flushed establish button. No worries if there are mountains 'tween you and your target: these rockets fly high enough to swoop over them. The system doesn't have pinpoint precision: all the rockets launched will land inside the targeted circle, but may be scattered around and not all grouped into the center, soh if you're low-level missile attack at to the lowest degree in that location's a chance you'll endure and your base North Korean won't get completely destroyed. Fingers crossed.

Missiles launched from the MLRS prat also be countered by superficial-to-air missile sites. "A full barrage of 12 rockets will only be part repelled by two Surface-to-air missile sites, and wholly fought off by ternion," says Facepunch. There's a 10-minute cooldown between launches from the MLRS.

As for the new military bases, they're procedurally generated and will appear in different configurations along every map, and volition change after each waiter wipe. To boot to the MLRS, each base bequeath contain dinero, oil, and bequeath be guarded by Nonproliferation Center scientists. Pick up more about the November update connected the Rust blog.
