Server Events

Royal Rust features multiple custom PvE and PvP events. This guide explains how events work, what rules apply, and what you can expect.

What are server events?

Server events are special activities that spawn dynamically on the map. They offer high-risk, high-reward gameplay and are designed to challenge players with NPCs, objectives, and valuable loot.

Common event types

Convoy — A moving NPC convoy with valuable loot
Armored Train — A heavily guarded train event
Boss Events — Strong NPC bosses with special rewards
Abandoned Bases — PvP-enabled base raids
Other custom events — Rotating events may appear during the wipe
