★ English only in the chat - We can not moderate situations of inappropriate language or blatant teaming in the global chat when in another language. Please keep global chat to English. Other languages are fine in team chat.
★ No Racist, Homophobic, or otherwise extremely offensive language - There is a zero tolerance policy for racist & homophobic comments and is an easy path to being permanently banned.
★ Don't be excessively toxic - We do allow hostile gamebanter and talking smack, but just don't be excessive about it. Once you are clogging up the global chat and preventing others from using it, then it is time to take a step back.
★ No VAC or Gamebans in the last 180 days - Players with recent vac or gamebans from any game besides Rust will be auto kicked from servers if the ban is recent. There is no way to circumvent this kick and you must wait this time period to access our servers.
★ No Rust gamebanned alt accounts - If you have a Rust banned alt account you are permanently banned from BattleZone and can not appeal your ban.
★ Don't accuse players of cheating or breaking the rules. Report players instead with F7, /report, or #create-a-ticket on discord.
★ Signs with politics, pornography, hate speech or otherwise distasteful images are not allowed - Keep your artistry PG rated so that we may all enjoy the server without any problem.
★ Max team size of 1 player. - You must play entirely solo only and not team with anyone.
★ No allies are allowed - In no situation are allies allowed. This includes things like pooling resources, private communication with players outside of the game, coordinated attacking of players but not each other, etc. Being friendly and talking to players in-game is ok, but must take place through a shopfront, compound wall, or in a safe zone. Do NOT stop and chat outside in the wilderness. KOS or run away.
★ No agreements to not kill players - All players must be treated like an enemy at all times. If you run into someone in the wild, you are expected to PvP or run away. Shooting players in the back is not required if they run away.
★ No building close to friends - Building in close range to your friends will result in an automatic ban for being allies based on proximity. If a friend plays on the server, they should live a minimum 8 grids away and run different monuments.
★ Do not assist your neighbors - Your neighbor should be treated as a hostile enemy at all times. Raiding your neighbor is not required but you may not help defend their base in any way. Shooting other players but not your neighbor will be considered neutral allies.

★ Do not assign a sleeping bag to another player - It is strictly a solo server experience, so placing a bag for another player is giving them unfair help.
★ Trades must take place at a safe zone, shopfront, or vending machine. - There must be a secure barrier between the people trading to be a legal trade. This prevents a situation where a 3rd party is involved and either gets double-teamed or reports the illegal trade as teaming and it will look like teaming. Avoid this situation by trading properly.
★ Trades must be of reasonably the same item value and you can not sell services. - Selling tier 3 loot for a rock is considered a giveaway, not a trade.
