Rust players share the one true method to dealing with cheaters: Suck it up
The Rust community has been dealing with cheaters since the game’s early access days, and many players have taken to Reddit to express their disdain and concerns over the problem. Some question the effectiveness of the game’s anti-cheat feature, while others debate over Facepunch, Modded, or Community servers.
While seasoned Rust players have grown used to the issue and can often distinguish a cheater from a legitimately skilled player, newer players might not have the same amount of insight and experience.
