The wipe climate
Rust wipe times, by day and hour
This page shows when Rust servers actually wiped, taken from the wipes Rust Wipe Stats recorded, not from what owners advertise. A busy front of wipes moves through Thursday and Friday evenings, UK time. Check the hourly grid before you plan a fresh start, then look at how each wipe holds its players. Times are UK time with UTC alongside.

Asked of the forecast desk
When do Rust servers wipe?
Every public server wipes at the monthly force wipe, which follows the game update on the first Thursday of the month. Between force wipes, owners set their own day and hour. The heatmap above shows those hours as they were recorded, so you can see where the front is busiest before you commit to a server.
What is the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe?
A map wipe clears the world: bases, loot and everything placed on the map go. A blueprint wipe also clears what you have learned to craft. Most servers map-wipe on their own schedule and hold blueprints until the force wipe, or keep them. The server's own description is the only reliable place to check.
What time do servers wipe?
Whenever the owner chooses, usually an evening in the server's region so players are online for the fresh start. The heatmap above reports the recorded hour in UTC; add one hour in summer for UK time. If you are in the US, Eastern time is four hours behind UTC in summer and five in winter.
