Tags for Rust servers are a unique way to show potential players the type of server you are running. With multiple preset options available, you’ll be able to promote your server to the proper audience. Server tags have the additional benefit of allowing you to filter your search for servers, based on the tags attached to a server.

There is a maximum of 4 tags available per server, with each tag coming from a specific tag group, which you will find in the table below.


# Available Server Tags

Important

You can only use one tag per group, otherwise it will cause issues when searching for your server and they will not display. A tag that does not have an assigned group is not included in this and you can select any amount of these.
