PvE Monthly

What makes Heatline PvE Monthly different

PvE Rust is usually one of two things: a sandbox so quiet that nothing ever happens, or a creative server with admin-given resources. We picked a third path. PvE Monthly is vanilla — gather rates are stock, smelt is stock, crafting is stock — but the world around you is dense with curated content: 200+ raidable bases, weekly-scaling events, an XP/skills system, daily and Ironmen quests, in-game ranks, case openings, callouts that prevent loot collisions, and a community that’s been here for years.

The whole point is calm. PvP is restricted to marked PvP Zones (kill anyone inside, no zone-edge sniping); outside the zones, killing other players, looting them, and raiding their bases is forbidden — and automatically monitored. Beginners can build their first base without getting roof-camped on day one; veterans get the systems-deep wipe that other PvE servers skip.

Vanilla rates, 50% upkeep, monthly Force Wipe

Stock gather, smelt, crafting, decay, building cost — all vanilla. The only changes: upkeep is 50% so you’re not farming stone and metal all wipe just to keep your base alive, and minicopters spawn on roads for fast rotation.

Map and blueprints wipe on the first Thursday of every month, aligned with Facepunch’s Force Wipe. The last 24 hours before Force Wipe is a Purge: PvP everywhere, raiding allowed, looting allowed — a no-rules send-off before the reset.

Raidable bases — 200+ bases, Easy → Nightmare, weekly scaling

Raidable bases start spawning on day 4 of the wipe and scale weekly in difficulty. Five tiers — Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Nightmare — with over 200 different base layouts across the tiers. You won’t see the same base twice in a wipe.

PvE raidbases auto-call-out to whoever lands the first damage — like staking a claim. Other players can’t loot during your raid; team members can. PvP raidbases work differently: they cannot be claimed, and the area becomes a PvP zone for the duration — anyone can fight for the loot, both NPCs and other players.

Events — Armored Train, Convoy, Sputnik, Caravan

Scheduled events also start on day 4 and scale weekly. Armored Train, Convoy, Sputnik, Caravan — each event has its own difficulty curve and is announced in-game in chat as it spawns. Discord is reserved for the bigger picture: upcoming Force Wipe map previews, special events, server changes and updates. Easier early, harder by week 4.

Callouts — @silo, @airdrop, /rc

The callout system stops 12 players arriving at the same monument at the same time. Type @silo (or @launch, etc.) in chat before you start a monument and an announcement appears: this monument is being looted by you and your team. Other players are not allowed to loot it during your callout. Same for airdrops — @airdrop claims the one near your current position.

Callouts expire after 20 minutes. Extend with another callout when needed. Some monuments have repeat-callout cooldowns. The system auto-calls when you start looting (in case you forget). Type /rc for recent callouts — both active and recently expired, so you can see which monuments were just looted (loot might not have respawned yet).

PvE raidbases auto-call-out on first damage; PvP raidbases cannot be called out.

PvP Zones — and what’s not allowed elsewhere

PvP Zones are marked with a red dome and a red map marker. Inside: kill and loot anyone. Outside: don’t.

Zone-edge sniping is never allowed — no inside-to-outside or outside-to-inside kills. Same for looting other players (forbidden), looting sleepers (forbidden), and raiding others’ bases or destroying their structures (forbidden, with automatic monitoring + admin enforcement). Team-internal fights and team-internal raiding are fine.

XP, skills, quests, ranks

/skills — gain XP from farming, looting, building, fighting events. Spend XP on mining, farming, crafting and other skill trees. Balanced — engaging without breaking vanilla.

/quests — general quests + daily quests (reset every 24 hours) + Ironmen quests where dying resets your current quest progression. Tasks like farming specific resources, opening specific containers, killing specific animals or scientists. Rewards: Scrap, Heat Points, XP. Regular quests reset on Force Wipe.

/rank — colored rank in chat in front of your name based on this wipe’s XP. Climb the ranks visibly.

Heat Points & the in-game shop

Heat Points are the in-game currency. You earn them several ways:

• VIP: 500 Heat Points per wipe (see the Shop)
• Discord Nitro Booster: 500 Heat Points per wipe (boost the Heatline Discord)
• Linked account: 175 Heat Points per wipe (free; link your Steam in Discord’s #link channel)
• Mind Match wins, quests, top-placement next-wipe rewards — all earn Heat Points

Heat Points wipe with each Force Wipe — fresh start every cycle. Heat Points ATMs are in the safezones (Bandit Camp, Outpost) — withdraw to share with friends, or deposit to keep your balance safe.

/shop — spend Heat Points on Clothing, Cosmetics, Vehicles, a Recycler, or a Test Generator. No gear, no loot, no resources, no wipe-week advantage. The shop is QoL only.

Mind Match, daily rewards, top-placement rewards, cases

Mind Match — chat trivia minigame the community loves. Roughly every 45 minutes a question drops in chat; you have 2 tries; fastest correct answer wins; top 3 get prizes.

Daily Rewards — /rewards — unlock with simple daily playtime. Login, play, claim.

Top-placement rewards — /stats shows detailed per-player stats and a top-list across categories (playtime, sulfur farmed, scientists killed, raids fired, etc.). Land in the top of any category and you start the next wipe with bonus Heat Points.

Cases — /case — buy keys with Heat Points, open cases. Some are luck-heavy with big payouts; others are balanced. Pure virtual gamble — Heat Points only.

VIP that doesn’t break vanilla

VIP unlocks quality-of-life only: 500 Heat Points per wipe, container sorting (sort button on every container), ChatGPT integration in chat, /skinbox (skin items on the fly), and /grade (auto-upgrade buildings on placement). None of it grants gear or wipe-week advantage. See the Shop for tiers.

Hardware and admins

Dedicated high-end EU machine, sub-30 ms ping for most of Western and Central Europe, strong stability. Active admins on Discord with fast response times. The connect address is client.connect pve.heatline.gg — paste it in F1 and you’re in.

Who plays here

PvE Monthly attracts the players who want to log in, do something meaningful, and log out without their base getting demolished. New players welcome — admins and regulars actively help newcomers get set up. Veterans stay because the systems run deep: skills, quests, ranks, callouts, daily rewards, top-placement rewards. There’s always something to chase.
