Okay Holla Forums I don't come here a lot but you know how back before Rust became this new, glitchy, EZ, forgiving game where you run at Sanic speed with massive blur, it was this shitty laggy bloated fun piece of crap with kids screaming at you in mic like true genuine faggots?
Yeah, so I was on a server there and the guy who ran it had locked himself up in his tower and controlled one area of the map with a bolt-action.
Other than them there were some fags with lots and lots of explosives who constantly broke into everything. One time I didn't tell them their dicks were big or I memed on them or something, so they started wrecking my little metal shitshack over and over. It was near some other buildings which they sometimes wrecked too. Now I was stockpiling sulfur and animal fat like a madman at the time, and all of this would be really tragic except that I had already built a billion shitty wooden huts with doors, just the default ones for 100 wood or whatever, and hidden all of my remotely valuable goods, weapons, and ammo in 20 or so hard to find corners of the south part of the map. Anyways, they were relentless and did the same thing when I made a larger, semi-hidden base, and they had full combat armor and mp4s and so on and so forth. So what I did was I started making house calls to the other people around who were sort of friendly, mostly the other noobs, and I just dropped off equipment and resources until I was basically skint broke. Put up dozens more shitsheds all over the place. Slept in one or the other naked with nothing but a bow and 100 or so arrows. Spent all of my time on that server making arrows, gathering the basic resources to make arrows, and mostly hunting rad wolves and bears for blueprints.
So, sometimes I'd miss one of the four shots I needed to kill the rad bear before it got to me and get mauled, respawn, have to find my way back down south, people shooting at me along the way, but it didn't matter.
I built nothing. I carried nothing of value, not even a backup weapon. Bow and arrows only..and some food and water to keep me alive, a little wood for a fire if I wasn't near a shack.
I gathered and gathered and gathered. When I came upon a blueprint I already had, I fed it to a noob. Their houses continued being broken into, sometimes worth the attackers' troubles, sometimes not.
Then I started going for the occasional supply drop. Of course with the way the game was, no one had any clue where the stuff would drop so I'd just run around like a moron towards where the plane was heading, and I didn't know when the drop times were or position myself near the center of the map or any of that, but that heavily armed squad was so busy being tacticool and making sure all six or so of them were there lest someone somehow brain them with a rock that I started getting there before them…with an empty inv…grabbing everything that couldn't be gathered or easily crafted from each package…and GTFOing. One time it was on a mountaintop and they came around the corner, talking on their mics, WHILE I was grabbing the last grenades, but they were such shitty shots that I just slid down to the treeline with a few hp left in their hail of bullets, a few hp left despite also taking some fall damage, and I actually shook them in the trees and hid after running nearly a quarter of the map's length at odd angles trying to lose them.
So what did I do with these hauls? The first few I gave to the noobs, but they mostly just hoarded and turtled them until the gang came by and blew open their forts. So I started hiding the explosives in super cleverly placed stash bags and waking up at 2am to blow up the raiders' shit. (I asked some of the noobs who were building about where there base was, as I could never get into that area in normal hours without them or some other group shooting me up)
