Top 5 sites to get RUST Mods

Whether you are running a RUST PVE Server or Battlefield server or want to enhance your quads modded server, you are probably in the market for some premium RUST Mods. But you may not know that many dodgy websites will sell you Pirated Mods. This means they won’t have any support, and since RUST updates every month, they will be outdated quickly.

There are also some RUST Modding websites out there offering RUST Mods for free. These mods can be malicious, damaging your server, or poorly coded. So we have listed the top 5 websites where you can get RUST Mods, free or paid. These website have a great reputation and can be trusted.

Staying Updated

RUST is impressive because it updates every month with new content and bug fixes. However, it’s a problem because it updates monthly, breaking some RUST mods or conflicting with them, creating errors. If a critical mod on your server is broken after the update and the dev is slow to update. You’ll lose a lot of players.

Support

Fast updates are one thing, but getting fast support is another. Sometimes, mods break or conflict with another mod. Sometimes, many community members request a feature, but the developer doesn’t care. Having an active developer who is quick to fix his work or add features is also something you should consider.

Quality Code

If there is one thing we have learned, it is how essential well-written code is. Even the smallest RUST Mods poorly coded can drastically reduce a server’s FPS and cause you issues. That’s why I only buy mods from professional, experienced developers. Something market places style website cannot ensure.

Umod was the go-to site for all things related to RUST Mods. The main benefit is that the mods are free, the same people created the modding framework, and 90% of all RUST servers use Oxide. However, other modding frameworks that are supposed to be more optimized and perform better have been released.

Umod remains strong but is rapidly being replaced by the other websites mentioned in the article. Quite a few developers have moved over to the new website since they can sell their RUST Mods rather than give them away for free.

Codefling has risen quickly over the years and has become the more dominant RUST Mods marketplace. It was created by a guy we all know as Death. They have a strong collection of RUST Maps and tools and offer RUST Services like Logo Design, RUST Server set up, etc.

Interestingly, the people behind Codefling have also created a new modding framework, Carbon. Carbon is much more optimized and uses the latest version of C# code, unlike its counterpart, Oxide.

Game4Freak is the newest kid on the block. It was made by Dana, or VisEntities, as he is also known. All the RUST Mods are free, and he seems very motivated to make more and keep them updated. His website is similar to ChaosCode’s, but it’s more of a forum-style website than a shop.

This makes it quite confusing to navigate where to get the downloads and updates. I am also weary of overly keen developers offering 1,000 of our work for free or on a donation basis. They usually last a few years, then get burnt out and abandon their projects, which is what I feel is happening to Umod right now.
