Rust goes medieval with the Primitive update: siege weapons, swords and shields, and maybe a few jewel-encrusted assault rifles

It's a great week for going medieval. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 crashed through Steam's gates on Tuesday, and now here comes survival sandbox Rust with its Primitive update. It's got swords, shields, bows and arrows, siege weapons, and a few mild anachronisms like jewel-encrusted assault rifles and electricity-powered autocrossbows.

This is Rust, after all, and while it may sport new catapults and platemail armor, that stuff is all pretty obviously sourced from modern-day junk like telephone poles, plastic containers, and street signs. Rust didn't go back in time, it's just bringing olden times into the present.
