Zombie NationA death here does not send you back to the beach. You wake up near where you fell, your body is easy to find, and a few perks bring your gear back on their own.
The death screen
| Button | Where you wake up | Who has it |
|---|---|---|
| Respawn | On land 200 to 400 m from where you died, away from monuments, other players' bases and raid zones (up to 1 km out if nothing fits) | Everyone |
| Respawn in Town | In the Town, behind its guards | Everyone, once every 30 minutes |
| Respawn Here | Right where you died | The Respawn Here perk, once a day (resets at midnight) |
| Your bags and beds | At the bag or bed, as in normal Rust | Everyone |
Respawn Here does not work if you died in water, inside someone else's base or in a raid zone. The button says why.
What you wake up with
Your first spawn of the wipe comes with the starter kit, once per wipe. After that you respawn the vanilla way, with a rock and a torch, unless Get My Stuff AUTO puts your gear back on.
Getting your gear back
/getmystufflists your corpses and loot bags with their distance and direction. Free for everyone./getmystuff buymoves everything on your corpses and loot bags into one bag at your feet. It costs 666 RP, found or not, and needs the Get My Stuff perk.
The item in your hands goes into your corpse with the rest instead of dropping on the ground. A corpse or bag that lands inside the terrain or falls out of the world is lifted back to the surface, so its items are never deleted and /getmystuff still finds them.
Your backpack
Your backpack drops when you die. The Keep Backpack perk keeps it on you, except in raids.
Perks that help
All of them are in the /p skill trees.
| Perk | Tree | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Get My Stuff | Explorer | Unlocks /getmystuff buy |
| Respawn Here | Explorer | The once-a-day Respawn Here button |
| Get My Stuff FREE | Explorer, Legendary | /getmystuff buy costs nothing |
| Get My Stuff AUTO | Explorer, Legendary | You respawn with your gear back in its slots. Not in raids, and not when you die infected |
| Keep Backpack | Explorer, Legendary | Your backpack stays on you when you die. Not in raids |
| Homecoming | Homesteader, Legendary | Your bags and beds skip their respawn cooldowns |
| Second Wind | Soldier, Legendary | A killing blow leaves you at 20 HP instead, once every 30 minutes |
If Get My Stuff AUTO cannot put everything back, the rest stays on your corpse for /getmystuff.
Dying infected
An infected death skips Get My Stuff AUTO, and your body rises as the Risen next to your corpse. Bring a friend or a gun to get your gear back. See Infection and cures.
