Best Rust PvE servers

Rows below publish Rust's PvE tag: players cannot damage each other or each other's bases. Ranking is by current player count, highest first. Sorted and filtered from every public server we track, refreshed every five minutes. A server that runs PvE rules but does not publish the tag will not appear here.

• Wipe cycle: monthly is the most common cadence on this list, biweekly second. Check the Next wipe column before you commit.
• Region: roughly half the rows are EU. If you play US or AU hours, filter by region and read the player count at your own play time, not this one.
• Vanilla or modded: the PvE tag says nothing about mods. Most rows here are modded. For no player damage with no mods, filter Tags to vanilla and exclude modded.
• Group size: PvE servers often cap group size lower than PvP ones. The Max group column is the server's own figure.
• Uptime: shown as a percentage from our checks; a server with recent downtime ranks lower on ties.

PvE removes player-versus-player combat, not the game's own threats. You still deal with scientists, animals, radiation, the patrol helicopter and whatever events the server runs. Base building, farming and monument runs carry on as normal.

Sort by Last wipe to find servers that reset today and still have fresh maps. Sort by Players for the busiest right now, or by Uptime if you want a row that has stayed reachable. Every row links to a server page with a player history graph, wipe dates and settings.
