This Saturday (December 2nd) starting at 11am EST we're putting on our third annual, 12 hour live stream event to benefit charity. All the proceeds this year will go to Direct Relief. If you're not familiar, they help survivors of natural disasters and poverty in over 80 countries worldwide. 

Charitable Rust will take place on several custom event servers, each with slews of action including a casino, carnival, parkour challenges, mazes, DOA's bar, art contest, talent show, and much more. Oh, and we'll be running our Invasion event during the day.

We also have celebrity guests, huge prizes (including Helk's pickles - seriously), and some awesome skins (see below!) Stay tuned as Saturday approaches for schedule, server info, and more details.

Skins from Xtab!

The talented folks over at Xtab have once again created some awesome skins for the event. These will be available for a limited time, and all proceeds from Xtab and Facepunch will go to Direct Relief (Gabe still gets his cut). 

These skins are now available on the item store!

Development news

So far we're seeing improvements to grenades, shifts to recoil, the python is now skinnable, and a bunch more progress towards the next forced wipe.

We'll be back Thursday with a full update summary post on what you can expect to see in game this week.
