Rust battlefield servers, live now

268 servers carry the battlefield tag or the word in their name. The table shows live population, last wipe and next wipe for each, refreshed every five minutes. You spawn with a kit here, rates are high and respawns are quick, so the fight starts before you finish reading the row. Sort by players to see where the action is this minute.

Check the Last wipe and Next wipe columns first. Battlefield servers reset on very different clocks. Some wipe weekly, others wipe every few hours, and a few show an estimate rather than a fixed schedule. If the next wipe is hours away, treat the server as a match rotation and expect the map, not your progress, to change. A tilde before a date means the figure is estimated from the server's recent history.

Group limits vary. Some servers set a limit of 2, 3 or 4 and say so in the name. Others leave it open, so large squads are common. Use the name search for 'solo', 'duo' or 'trio' to narrow the list.

Region matters more than population. A server with a high count in the wrong region will play badly for you. The region column and the EU, US and AU pages help you filter by where you actually are.

The battlefield tag is set by the server owner, not by us. A server appears here if it carries the tag or puts 'battlefield' in its name. Plenty of servers play the same way under names like arena, PvP or instant, and they will not show up on this page. To catch those, browse the full server list and set the game mode and tag filters yourself.

Wipe dates come from each server's own schedule where it publishes one, and from its recent wipe history where it does not. A server new to our tracking may show a rough estimate until a pattern is clear.

If you want a starting point, the ranked list of all Rust servers orders by population and uptime. For the current count across the whole game, see live player count.
