In-game overlay

In-game overlay

Premium. A transparent always-on-top desktop window that paints a live minimap on top of Rust — your team, events, deaths, tags, and monuments.

Premium (Operator / Overlord). The Rust Pulse overlay is a small desktop app that runs alongside Rust and paints a live transparent minimap on top of your game. Everything the dashboard map shows, but on your second monitor or even floated on top of Rust itself.

What you get

  • A small chromeless, always-on-top window with a minimap canvas.
  • Live team positions, deaths, world events, tags, SAMs, monuments — same data as the dashboard.
  • Press F8 to toggle visibility. Press F9 to toggle click-through (passive vs. interactive).
  • An expanded mode (F7 by default) with full Map / Events / Players / Tracking / Team Roster / Devices / Tools / Games tabs.
  • Onboard arcade — a small bundle of mini-games for when you're at base waiting on a wipe queue. See Arcade.

Requirements

  • Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Wayland or X11).
  • Rust running in Fullscreen Borderless or windowed. Exclusive fullscreen blocks every overlay (Discord, MSI Afterburner, ours), nothing we can do about that — same as it does for Discord overlay.
  • An Operator or Overlord Rust Pulse subscription, or a guest invite from someone who has one.
