Rust is a great survival game, but if you’ve been around for a while, you might be surprised by one thing – you can’t just choose your character. The game randomly assigns you an appearance (gender, skin color, facial features) and… at first glance, you can’t change it. But are you sure?
Is it possible to change the appearance of a character in Rust
Officially – no. The developers of Rust decided that the appearance of the character is random and assigned to your Steam account. They were concerned with realism and a little more immersion in the game world. But there are some ways that can help if you really want to change your character.
- New Steam account
The easiest (though not very convenient) way to change a character is… to create a new Steam account and buy Rust again. The character’s appearance is generated based on SteamID, so a new account means a new character. However, this is an expensive option and rather not recommended.
- Changing SteamID (advanced option).
Some players have tried to change their SteamID using various methods, such as developer tools or offline modes, but this is not officially supported. In addition, it may violate the terms of service of Steam and end up with a ban.
3.Modded servers
On some private, modded servers there are mods that allow you to change the appearance of your character. If you really care about this, look for servers that allow it.
- Accept your appearance and play
Rust is a game about survival, not about looks. After a few hours, you will even stop paying attention to what your character looks like. What matters is whether you can survive in the brutal world of the game.
CONCLUSION
Officially, you can’t change your character in Rust, but there are some workarounds – a new Steam account, modded servers or advanced technical methods. However, instead of wasting time on combinations, just head out into the world of Rust and show that appearance is the least of your problems when you’re trying to survive.
