Rust Console Edition has today launched update 1.42 on consoles (I know you’re shocked), so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with today’s patch. The update released today doesn’t bring too much content-wise as with most Rust updates but seems to be bringing a wealth more bug fixes than usual. From fixes to Monuments, to overall World changes, the game should at least feel a bit more stable going into today’s update. You just shouldn’t go in expecting the whole map to be overhauled and a million new things to be at your fingertips. Without further ado, here’s everything new with Rust Console Edition in its 1.42 update.
