    Setting Up a Rust Script for the First Time

    Getting started with a Rust script is simpler than most players think. This guide walks you through everything from purchase to your first session.

    System Requirements

    Before installing, make sure your PC meets the basic requirements:

    • OS: Windows 10 or Windows 11
    • Mouse: Any model (RustScript works regardless of brand)
    • Rust: Latest version installed via Steam

    Step 1: Purchase and Download

    1. Visit RustScript pricing and choose a plan
    2. Complete your purchase — you'll receive an email instantly
    3. The email contains your download link and activation key
    4. Download and extract the file (password provided in email)
    5. Step 2: Activate Your License

      1. Launch the RustScript loader
      2. Enter your activation key from the email
      3. The HWID lock automatically binds to your PC
      4. Your license is now active — no additional steps needed
      5. Step 3: Configure Your Settings

        Before jumping into Rust, take 5 minutes to configure:

        Sensitivity Settings

        Match your Rust script sensitivity to your in-game settings:

        • Set your DPI (check your mouse software)
        • Enter your in-game sensitivity value
        • The script auto-calculates the correct compensation

        Weapon Selection

        • Auto mode: Script detects your weapon automatically
        • Manual mode: You select the weapon via hotkey

        Keybinds

        Set up your toggle hotkeys:

        • Script toggle: Default 'F1'
        • Weapon switch: Default 'F2'
        • Randomization: Default 'F3'

        Step 4: In-Game Setup

        1. Launch Rust from Steam (always after the script)
        2. Join a shooting range server first to test
        3. Equip your AK47 and spray at a wall
        4. Adjust X multiplier until spray is perfectly straight
        5. Save your settings profile
        6. Step 5: Fine-Tuning

          Every player's setup is different. Spend 15-30 minutes on a practice server:

          • Test each weapon you commonly use
          • Adjust multipliers per-weapon if needed
          • Enable randomization (5-10%) to appear natural

          Common Setup Mistakes to Avoid

          • Running Rust before the script — Always launch the script first
          • Wrong DPI settings — Double-check your actual DPI in mouse software
          • Skipping weapon calibration — Each weapon needs individual testing
          • Max randomization — Start low (5%) and increase gradually

          Troubleshooting

          Script not detecting my weapon?

          Make sure you're using the correct weapon name in the script's weapon list. Custom skins don't affect detection.

          Spray still going sideways?

          Adjust the X-axis multiplier. A positive value compensates left, negative compensates right.

          DPI mismatch?

          Use a DPI tester website to confirm your actual DPI before entering it into the script.
