Rust’s reputation as a survival game that’s particularly cruel precedes it. Mastering its systems and learning its world isn’t always enough, especially when faced with a rogue player intent on killing everything, but console commands and cheats can help make things a bit easier for you or pave the way to some additional fun.
Rust’s console commands and cheats offer a blend of server-related options, like banning players, but can also heal your character, let you freely explore the world or, indeed, grant it god mode.
Rust Console Commands and Cheats
You bring up Rust’s in-game console with a simple press of the F1 key, after which you can input any of the console commands and cheats found below. It’s worth keeping in mind that you’ll need to be either the server admin or a player who’s been given admin privileges for them to work. In some cases, the latter may have to add “sv”, minus the quote marks, before the command itself.
Below, you’ll find a handful of useful Rust console commands and cheats, as shared on the developer’s wiki. Remember to remove the brackets when inputting cheats.
