Are There Zombies in Rust?

Yes and no. There aren’t any zombies on the official Rust servers, but players have created their own zombies on the modded/community servers.

All the zombies that you can find in Rust will be different, as each server creates different types of zombies. You might find a server where men run around after you with chainsaws, while others have naked people trying to bite you.

There are no established Rust zombies, and each place you might find them will have different types of zombies. If you don’t think the zombies on your server are “realistic” or fun, then just know that not all zombies will be the same.

Some servers also add interesting mechanics which make dead players rise as zombies, risk of infection when you get bitten, and endless hordes of zombies that just grow and grow until the server wipe.


How to Find Zombies in Rust

To find servers that have zombies in Rust, all you need to do is open the game and search for the word “zombie” in the Play Game tab.

There are a lot of possible servers where you can play Rust with zombies. Just make sure to check the descriptions of the servers to understand if they offer the services you want. If you want just random roaming zombies on the map, then make sure that this is what the server offers.

If you want huge hordes of zombies that raid bases and infect players with bites, you will need to make sure that the servers have these features before joining.

You can even find a server that is as close as possible to vanilla Rust that just adds zombie NPCs walking around the monuments as bonus mobs.


That’s everything you need to know about zombies in Rust!
