Bigger guns are louder and therefore riskier as of Rust's latest update, with other players able to hear you from 'much further away'

A player character wearing armour made from road signs flees from a building in thee distance as tracer shots fire out of it.

Rust has entered a quieter period as it stocks the hold for its naval update due in a couple of months. But Facepunch Studios still continues to add bits here and there. July brought an improved mission system and more realistic erosion, while August saw the return of hardcore mode in tougher, meaner form.

September's update is by far the smallest for a while. But there is one adjustment that has potentially game-altering ramifications, and it all has to do with the noise that guns make. Basically, Facepunch has altered how sound propagation for firearms works, so gunshots can be heard at significantly longer distances than before.
