Rust PvE servers, live now

Right now 1,779 servers carry Rust's PvE tag. The table below ranks them by players online this minute, not by votes or advertising. On these servers other players cannot damage you or your base, so the threats are animals, scientists and whatever events the server runs. Player counts refresh every five minutes, and every next-wipe time is shown in the same column so you can compare before you connect.

Wipe schedule matters more on PvE than the player count does. A monthly server gives you four weeks on one map; a biweekly one resets sooner. Check the Next wipe column on each row and sort by it if you want a fresh start. The Tags column tells you more than the PvE chip alone: a row tagged vanilla with no modded chip runs the base game, while most PvE rows carry modded plugins for events, decay or quality of life. Region is worth a look too. A high population at the wrong time of day reads as an empty server when you log in, so compare the live count against the hour you play.

This page filters the full Rust live server list down to rows that publish the PvE tag. A server with PvE rules but no tag will not appear here, so if a name you know is missing, search the unfiltered list for it. The Players figure is what the server reports at the last update, and the ranking changes through the day as populations move.
