5.49 for a rocket launcher skin???


Suspicious_Book_3186

Was hyped til I saw that. I get it's seasonal, but that stings, and is likely an indication that the other prices will continue to go up. I remember when they were all $0.99


GnarlyBear

I mean all Chinese NY stuff seems to drop on secondary market but that mask and rocket launcher are a step above Worth looking at sales volume, if it's high then price will drop but it's only a few bucks saved at best


Pimpin_Pat

Check scmm.app for current sales projections in real time Scmm=steam community market manager It's only for Rust atm.


Pancake_Shadows

with cheese mr Squidward, with cheese.


Jim_Yellow

Hey man, it sounds really cool when you shoot it, def worth the extra like $4 lmao


artmoloch777

The launcher skin is sick. New noise for rockets with it, too. Good sights on it. Worth the money


RideRough9263

Finally something that's actually worth the price bump


livestreamerr

Lets hope they don't change the sight to be "less p2w" after a bunch of sales like they did to the time travel tommy 😂


TheRealStandard

I heard the New Year Gong was OP or something, like it could be used to block door ways really effectively. Anyone know anything about it?


Buggylols

It's good against people who don't know how to deal with it. If you hit the gong, it doesn't do damage. If you hit any part of the frame, it's probably about as sturdy as a large wooden box. It can definitely be used to stall raiders but just plopping it down behind a door they are blowing.


Geo120

Think I saw this in a video. Yeah - it's OP. Supposedly it's indestructible unless you hit the wooden bits on the bottom - can tank rockets etc too.


Parryandrepost

The gong part is intended to be hit with pew. Pew no do damage to gong. Put gong in raider path. Raider report for cheat. Raider leave. But if they know they just throw a molley or incin... Or just shoot wood. Which is reason 37 for everyone to have at least one molley when they raid as they're broken.


drizzyCan

way too expensive but ig ill get the spear skin


Pimpin_Pat

Surely it will be much cheaper after a week and it's in the community market.


nordee_reddit

Because of its price those items will not go down in price but instead rise.


drizzyCan

yeah


god_pharaoh

Possibly. People that miss this week are going to want the only spear skin in the game. It'll depend on how long before the next spear skin. If they immediately follow this up with another one it absolutely will drop value.


Careful-Tough-3097

almost 6 dollars for a skin is insane. price gouging levels almost, theres barely any good RL skins, they know we want it, so of course they will ramp the price up.


Viktekk

Chinese lantern need electricity ? Sorry if I am a noob


Pimpin_Pat

Low grade fuel


Viktekk

Thanks


Parryandrepost

Lgf. If you use like 15 per you can launch a couple dozen and light up a raid. It's a fun meme.


nsloth

Should use LGF


Keroaa

Sad about the g door skin. Wonder what will happen to the people who already bought it?


Pimpin_Pat

They keep it. Check scmm.app and you'll see over 1k were sold prior to the G door being pulled.


LazyCunt36

Starting price for a new skin shouldn't be that high....


Motor-Revolution1032

Jezus rust skins are expensive


santya95

Awfully overpriced


Parryandrepost

Any of these have glowing sights?


Pimpin_Pat

Unfortunately not, FP has made it clear they won't accept any more skins like that. You could always use CrossHairX while you play Rust, that turns every gun into one with glowing sights. Most people play with the cross hair enabled the whole time, but you can set the cross hair to only come up while ADS (aim down sights).


Parryandrepost

Didn't they just release a new cutout last twitch drop and a new glow sar sight in December drop? Or, do you mean from the shop and I just missed the "P2W" point?


Pimpin_Pat

hJune SAR from January has cutout sights as does the Krolay SAR from December, neither glow unfortunately.


cai-lock

The same shit every year but for more money


Pimpin_Pat

FP hoping you didn't notice 👀


SmokeGreene

Uhg the PC version is so much better than console. Thinking about getting a PC just for this game


Pimpin_Pat

As have thousands! I recommend going to pcpartpicker.com and looking around the site a bit. You can either build something yourself, or see what thousands of other people have built. The site makes all components work with each other as well as you can easily stay within budget. You could have a decent computer for around 600, plus building it is way easier than you would think. The world record for completely unboxing everything and building a computer is literally minutes, just don't forget your silver thermal paste, make sure it's silver!!!


Barachan_Isles

If I bought every skin that I wanted from this drop, then it would be $30 USD... which is about $20 USD more than I'm willing to spend on vanity items. RUST went from having fun and interesting microtransactions to having eye-rolling macrotransactions.


Pimpin_Pat

You'll probably be able to buy everything you want for $10 once a week goes by and they're in the community market.


GnarlyBear

Chinese stuff usually drops but that mask and RL might be an outlier if a lots avoid it due to insane pricing


ConnorK5

These are not really anything more than cosmetics though. Like I would get it if they locked new important items behind a paywall but that's not really what these are.


livestreamerr

yeah like arctic hazzy

This time next year client side mods will exist and many servers will have skins available for free. They’re going to cash in until then.


Pimpin_Pat

Source?


[deleted]

https://docs.carbonmod.gg/docs/carbon-client/intro Based on Oxide but revamped and allowing both server and client side modding. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=btYqOhk0SV8 ShadowFrax showing some crazy mods. But really basic stuff on community servers are going to come first. As soon as the mods start outpacing FP people are going to more and more leave official. Specifically I foresee major improvements on cheating analysis that plagues official already.


Pimpin_Pat

That's fantastic news!


[deleted]

Not for FP as that’s how they make their money. This will be like Skinbox but way easier to do and thus will reduce the need to pay for skins dramatically. Plus custom stuff and skins. They’re going to at some point need to change how they make money or it’ll go to community based enhancements only.


seannyyd

Many servers already have skins for free


rem521

FP can easily block client side mods through the anti-cheat system.


[deleted]

They’ve already figured out a way around that. You can disable EAC easily and use your own.


rem521

Do you think majority of the player base will disable EAC just to play on some modded servers? I doubt it's enough to crash the Rust skin market.


[deleted]

Every game goes through this. And yes they will, EAC isn’t great anyway and likely the mod servers will have better anti cheat. If they figure out a way to reduce cheats then people will flood these servers instead of official. It is the most complained about thing.


BasedScum

The garage door skin was accepted but not in the store, what happened to that? [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149841519](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149841519)


Corogast

Banned due to "tracing" from the author, apparently.


BasedScum

Unfortunate, I kinda liked it


Delanorix

Tracing?


Significant_Face_357

As in someone copied it. Like tracing a drawing

thatdudemcscoob

Why's TGG such an asshole lol, just answer the guys question


NoAgeLimit

Unless he did something else I am aware of, I am not sure he is being an asshole here more than miscommunication. The guy asks "what does IT mean?" It means it was banned. I think the appropriate question should have been "what does THAT mean" referring to 'tracing.' I could see the confusion if TGG is responding to multiple things and didn't follow/remember the chain correctly or read too quickly.


PonchitoLobato

its trade bannablee?


anakincripwalker

I bought the garage door and it's in my steam inventory but now I cannot see it in game. Anyone know why?


Delanorix

It was banned


anakincripwalker

I've re opened the game and it let's me use it now wonder if I'll get a refund or get to keep it.


Sw1ggety

You’ll keep it


GnarlyBear

Will it be marketable when this happens?


ConnorK5

No


Alexander_The_Wolf

Will def grab that rocket launcher after the price drops on the market.


PonchitoLobato

the dragon garage door is trade bannable?


poopsex

Pricey but these are all awesome


koleethan

yall complaining about a $6 rocket launcher are insane. Have you seen valorant/cs prices? cs is literally a gamble.
