How official force wipe time is calculated
- Date: first Thursday of each month
- Time: 19:00 London time
- Timezone: Europe/London
Rust official servers use this Monthly Force Wipe timer. London is GMT in winter and BST in summer.
Example: Singapore (UTC+8)
- UK winter (GMT): 19:00 → 03:00 the next day in Singapore
- UK summer (BST): 19:00 → 02:00 the next day in Singapore
Community servers can choose a different time
Modded and community servers often wipe on Fridays, Sundays, or custom hours. This page only shows the official Facepunch monthly schedule.

Force wipe FAQ
When is Rust Force Wipe?
The next official Rust Force Wipe is November 5, 2026 at 19:00 London time (Europe/London). Facepunch wipes official monthly servers on the first Thursday of every month.
What time does Rust force wipe happen?
19:00 London time. In winter that is 19:00 UTC (GMT); in summer it is 18:00 UTC (BST). Always convert from Europe/London, not a fixed UTC hour.
Do all Rust servers wipe on force wipe day?
No. Official Facepunch monthly servers follow this timer. Community servers can set any wipe schedule — weekly, biweekly, or a custom day. Use the wipe calendar to find community wipes.
Why is the local time a different calendar day?
19:00 in London is already the next morning in East Asia. For example Singapore (UTC+8) sees 03:00 the next day in UK winter and 02:00 the next day in UK summer.
How is the monthly force wipe date calculated?
Take the first Thursday of the month, then set 19:00 in the Europe/London timezone. UK daylight saving (last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October) changes the UTC equivalent.
