Summary
Rust servers with server tags in the wipe schedule group have access to a special event known as the missile silo. This event's main purpose is to wipe the server, which uniquely begins to activate endgame activities as the server gets closer to wipe day. Some of these endgame activities can include jets surveying the island and Bradley tanks openly roaming the roads. Since these events can disrupt normal play for fresh characters, setting a proper date for the server wipe is crucial.
| Note | The missile silo event only occurs on servers with a wipe schedule Server Tag. |
