It’s that time of the month again for Rust Console Edition players. The monthly wipe is upon us, and it’s going to bring a fresh reset to the game. Whether you’re a veteran who’s been ready or a newer player going through their first reset, knowing exactly when the wipe happens is crucial for planning your final sessions.
As part of the monthly wipe, everything gets wiped clean, and you have to start again on a new map. Here’s a complete breakdown of the May 2026 Rust Console wipe date, time, and what to expect.

What gets wiped as part of the Rust Console wipe?

The May wipe is a standard map wipe, meaning all player bases, stashes, and items will be reset across official and community servers. Blueprint progress is not affected unless a blueprint wipe has been specifically announced alongside the patch. As the update goes live, all in-game map data across every server will be refreshed, and a fresh map will be generated for the new cycle.
