What You Get

VIP+ is the mid-tier subscription and the most popular choice. It includes everything from VIP plus several powerful quality-of-life upgrades that make your daily Rust experience noticeably smoother.

Everything From VIP

You get all VIP perks — colored name, Discord role, queue skip, map voting, Sign Artist, /bgrade, wallpapers, instant shield activation, and a resource kit. All of these carry over.

New at VIP+

Skinbox Access

Change the skin of any item in your inventory. Hold an AK and type /skin to browse hundreds of community skins and apply them instantly. Works on weapons, armor, tools, building pieces, and furniture. Make your gear look exactly the way you want.

Workbench Range

Craft from anywhere inside your base as long as a workbench exists in your Tool Cupboard range. No more running back and forth between your workbench and storage boxes. If you have a Level 3 workbench placed anywhere in your base, you can craft Level 3 recipes from any spot inside your TC radius.

This is one of the biggest time-savers in the game. Build your workbench once, craft from wherever you’re standing.

Upgraded Base Shields (Upkeep Protection)

Base Shields prevent your walls from decaying by pausing your TC’s upkeep cost. This is not raid protection — your base is already safe from raids by default. Your shield limits are significantly higher than VIP.
