Facepunch just curb-stomped your Rust 2 wet dreams harder than a heli-copter raid on a solo base, you blueprint-hoarding, penis-inspecting virgins. Garry Newman, the mad bastard behind it all, flat-out roared 'We're not making Rust 2' after some shady-ass Steam page popped up like a fake Chinese AK skin, sparking a Reddit circlejerk of hype and horror.

It started yesterday on r/playrust, some 1-day-old sockpuppet account posting a 'leak' of Rust 2 as a FREE-TO-PLAY battlepass shitshow—wishlist count plummeting from 12 to 7 faster than your K/D in a 5-man door camp. Facepunch COO Alistair McFarlane drops in like a ghost: 'You saw nothing.' SteamDB slaps it with a big red 'SUSPICIOUS MALWARE' flag, because of course it's faker than a noob's stone spear. Dev @ErrnieGerrn on X piles on: 'The Rust 2 page on steam is fake/not us.'

Rustards lost their goddamn minds—421 upvotes, 177 comments screaming 'publicity stunt!' and 'F2P means cheater apocalypse!' One chud whines 'the cheating problem is already bad enough,' while another prays it's just S&box hype without Unity's corpse. Facepunch been trolling since Garry's 2023 nuke: 'Rust 2 definitely won't be a Unity game.' Original Rust still force-feeding jungle biomes and rusty boats—why chase a sequel when the grind's eternal?

This whole farce is peak Facepunch mindfuck: intern prank, Valve test dummy, or just bait to make you question reality like after eating bad monument loot. Your Rust 2 cope is deader than offline raiding ethics. Go farm some sulfur, snowflakes— the wipe train don't stop for rumors.
