The April update for survival game Rust is on its way, and it's bringing a basket full of joy and sunshine with it. Well, maybe not those things specifically, but there's plenty to look forward to in this month's patch, including a brand new gesture system.
The gesture system uses a pop-up wheel to give you a selection of emotes to use at just about any point in the game. Developer Facepunch says they've all been designed to be used in first-person perspective, and that you'll see a nice animation from that viewpoint when you wave or point at someone. The gestures can also be cancelled at any point, with a tiny time delay of about 0.2 seconds before you can fire your weapon again. "Feel free to wave at your victim when roof camping", Facepunch suggests.
The April update also adds poker tables to Bandit Town, which Facepunch says completes work on overhauling the casino barge that began in March. Tables support 2-6 players, and you'll need to put up 100 scrap to sit down. Once you're in, it's Texas Hold 'Em rules all around, and you'll have a dedicated chat window for the table if you feel like talking a bit of smack to your fellow gamblers.
