Rust's staging branch has seen some curious new items appear over the past week. There's a full space suit costume you can wear, and for maximum comfort, what looks like an officially-branded gaming chair from Secretlab.
Rust YouTuber ShadowFrax has a helpful rundown of all the latest topline changes that have appeared on the staging branch, which is where Rust tests out upcoming patches. It's a reasonably certain indication of what will be showing up in the main game branch in the next patch, so all Rust players can probably expect to see these in October's update.
First, the space suit. Like everything in Rust, it's a bit on the shabby side, but it works exactly like a standard hazmat suit - mainly because it is a standard hazmat suit. The astronaut appearance is a skin, and the design looks to be based on American space suits of the 1960s Apollo program. Admins and owners can try it on by using the command 'give spacesuit', which is nice and straightforward.
