Wipe Countdown

Every Rust server runs on two separate clocks. Force wipe belongs to Facepunch and arrives on the first Thursday of each month alongside the monthly update; the weekly wipe is whenever your server's admin chose.

Wipe Countdown

Facepunch sets force wipe. Your admin sets the weekly wipe, so enter it below.

All times are UTC. Force wipe lands at 19:00 UTC on the month's first Thursday.

How the numbers are worked out

The force wipe countdown comes straight from the calendar: 19:00 UTC on the first Thursday of this month, or of next month if this one's has gone. The weekly countdown is just the next time your chosen day and hour comes round. Both tick against UTC using your browser's clock, so they update without a reload.

The formula

  • force wipe = first Thursday of the month, 19:00 UTC
  • weekly wipe = next chosen weekday at the chosen UTC hour

Common mistakes

Blueprints go too on a force wipe, not just the map — the detail people miss, since a weekly wipe normally leaves them untouched. The two are not interchangeable. Expect some downtime as well: Facepunch ships the update at that same moment, so after 19:00 UTC many servers spend a while offline or restarting before they are wiped and joinable.

More calculators you might need

Rather not run the server yourself?

These tools are free and funded by the two hosting services we run. If you want a server that is already set up, here they are.
