Rust Pulse Arcade (Beta)
A small bundle of mini-games tucked inside the overlay's expanded view — for the queue, the wipe-day wait, or when you're at base watching the door.
Beta. The overlay's expanded view has a Games tab containing a small bundle of mini-games for when you're stuck at base, waiting in a server queue, or just bored between raid windows.
What's in there
A growing list of mini-games. Current bundle includes:
- Tetris
- Pacman
- Doom Lite
- Tower Defense
- Worms
- Pool
- Darts
- Chess
- Golf
- Platformer
- Fighter / Arena
- Wasteland Strike (top-down arcade shooter)
The lobby screen lets you pick any of them. Some have local high-score tables that persist between launches.
Why it's here
The overlay is a perfect second-screen surface — you've already got it open, you're already paired. Rather than alt-tabbing to a browser, you can stay in Rust's window and play something light while you wait for Cargo to spawn or a teammate to log on.
"Beta" means…
- The mini-games are written for fun. Bugs happen. We'll fix gameplay issues but won't always treat them with the same urgency as core features.
- The bundle changes between releases — games may be added, removed, or tweaked.
If a game breaks badly, drop it in /ticket in the support Discord with the game name and what went wrong.
