Types of Bans in Rust

There are different types of bans in Rust, and here’s an explanation of each:

Server Bans
In Rust, it's common to get banned from a server for cheating. This could be done by an admin or a custom server anti-cheat system. Many popular servers like Atlas, Vital, and Rustoria use custom anti-cheats that can detect obvious cheats like Fat Bullet, Bullet TP, and others.

Avoid Facepunch Servers to Prevent Game Bans
Facepunch servers are managed by the game developers, not regular admins. If you’re caught cheating on a Facepunch server, you won’t just get a server ban—you’ll be manually banned from the game itself.

Ban Evading
When you get banned from a server, admins can track you using your IP address. To avoid being linked to your old ban, you need to change your IP. Common ways to do this include using a VPN, a dynamic router, or a phone hotspot.

Once you’ve changed your IP, Buy a new account that you’ve never used before. This ensures that you don’t accidentally connect to previous bans linked to your old IP.

Cerberus (Temporary Game Bans)
Rust can issue temporary game bans, usually lasting 3 to 7 days, through a system called Cerberus. Cerberus tracks in-game stats like playtime, K/D ratio, and headshot accuracy. These bans often happen on brand-new accounts with zero hours played. To avoid this, it’s recommended to buy an account with real hours to reduce the chance of getting a Cerberus ban.

Gamebans
Gamebans are always possible in rust and have many contributing factors this can often be caused from getting too many F7 reports so try to play as legit as possible! once an account is gamebanned there is nothing that can be done to unban it, the account is now useless.

HWID Bans
HWID bans in rust happen when you recieve a gameban. There is no set amount of gamebans until you get HWID banned it is completely random it could be on your first gameban or your 5th, this is why we always recommend to use a spoofer! Alot more information about HWID Bans / Spoofing can be found here.
