Fresh wipes are the closest thing Rust has to a fair start. No turreted compounds, no tech tree hoarders—just a map full of freshly spawned hopefuls punching trees and pretending to be friendly. If you want a decent start, you need to get in early, and RUSTalyzer’s Fresh Wipes page gets you there fast.
Start with the Link
Click here to go straight to servers that are just wiped. It’s already filtered to show you the newest servers, so you don’t have to wade through half-dead listings from last week.
Filter for What Actually Matters
Once you're in, use the filters to narrow things down. Whether you’re a solo player looking to quietly suffer or a group ready to hit the ground with blueprints and bad intentions, the right filters will save you time.
1. Wipe Time
Want the absolute newest servers? Change Last Wipe to last hour. These are servers where everyone’s starting from scratch—no bases, no BPs, no regrets.
2. Group Size
Select Group Limit to filter for solo, duo, or trio servers. If you’re not looking to get steamrolled by a 12-man Discord cult, this one matters.
3. Tag Filters
Use the With NONE Of section to remove tags like creative, training, and buildserver. These are fine if you want to practice building or test guns—but for real servers, they just get in the way.
4. Gather Rate
Pick 2x or 3x under Gather Rate if you want a bit of progression without it turning into a loot piñata. Or leave it on All if you’re open to anything. For vanilla, you can just leave it at 1x.
5. Tags That Help
Add tags like vanilla, hardcore, or modded depending on the type of server you're after. Combine tags for better accuracy—like vanilla and community if you want something straightforward.
6. Sort by Highest Score
Use the Sort Results dropdown and choose Highest Score to surface the most active and well-rated servers.
Final Notes
- Descriptions matter – Always check the server notes for rules, BP wipes, and map info.
- Watch population trends – A surge usually means the wipe just happened.
- Use direct IPs – Faster than Rust’s built-in browser if you’ve already picked your server.
TL;DR
Head to RUSTalyzer’s Fresh Wipes, tweak the filters to match your preferred playstyle, and get in before everyone else starts throwing satchels. The earlier you join, the longer you'll last—probably.
