Why players stay

Built for Thursday Rust obsession.

Discord members —

LFG, trades, patch notes and staff, all in one place.

Players per team, enforced 4

A hard cap on both servers. No zergs, so solos, duos and small crews can compete.

Wiping every Thursday since 2021

Original wipes weekly, Life every two weeks. Schematics and perks carry your progress forward.

Before you join

Know the rules. Then send it.

Project Lazarus is moderated around small teams, no cheats, no abuse and clear gamemode boundaries. If that sounds good, you are the right player.

Team limit

Both gamemodes run a hard 4-player cap. No zergs, no mega alliances, and no pretending six people are “just neighbours.”

Wipes and progression

Original wipes weekly on Thursdays, with monthly force wipes on the first Thursday. Life wipes every 2 weeks from each monthly force wipe, with full wipes on the first Thursday. Long-term progression differs by gamemode, and the live countdown above stays updated.

Cheats, scripts and bug abuse

No cheats, no scripts, no macros, no bug abuse and no stream-sniping. Staff enforce this hard because fair wipes are the whole point.

Free kit and store

The free kit helps you start. Store purchases support the servers and unlock ranks, skins, kits, perks and quality-of-life extras.

Last step

Your next wipe
starts on Discord.

Squad up in LFG, read the patch notes, grab the free kit, hit connect. No sign-up. No gatekeep. Just press join.
