Rust May Update: MORTARS, Workbench Buffs & Deadly Traps!
The Rust May Update (2026) is officially here, bringing massive changes to weapons, crafting, and base defense! In this video, we dive into the brand new Mortar weapon, the complete overhaul of Workbench Upgrades, and a deadly new buff to the Tin Can Alarm.
What's in the Rust May Update:
• The Mortar: A new Tier 2 weapon. We test the UI, max range, and the difference between HE (High Explosive) and Fragmentation shells.
• Workbench Upgrades (10 New Buffs): Workbenches now have physical, visible upgrades! Learn how to get 100% comfort, double range, scrap discounts, accelerated crafting, and even random surplus parts.
• Tin Can Alarm Buff: You can now attach Grenades and Molotovs directly to Tin Can Alarms to create lethal trap bases.
