Rust offers a variety of game modes for server owners to choose from when setting up their Rust server. Each game mode has slightly different server settings such as removing safe zones, setting a different max team size, allow players to not lose all their loot on death and a lot more.
You can find more information about what makes each Rust game mode unique on this wiki page.
Warning: Changing game mode resets all players and their inventory. It is not recommended to do mid-wipe.
Changing your Game Mode
Once you have decided which game mode you want to enable, you can set it in the Rust Server Settings section of your server's control panel.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to Files > Config Files.
- Select Rust Server Settings.

- Save and Start your server.
