What gets wiped as part of the Rust Console wipe?
The May wipe is a standard map wipe, meaning all player bases, stashes, and items will be reset across official and community servers. Blueprint progress is not affected unless a blueprint wipe has been specifically announced alongside the patch. As the update goes live, all in-game map data across every server will be refreshed, and a fresh map will be generated for the new cycle.
