Oceanbound Update Facepunch Studios
Update 1.50 for Rust Console Edition, also known as the Oceanbound Update, brings plenty of new content, improvements, and bug fixes. Aside from the new cargo ship event, the popular M39 Rifle has returned to the rifle loot pool.
The M39 is a military-grade equivalent to the Semi-Auto Rifle. It boasts a high magazine capacity, good accuracy, and great damage, but it is somewhat balanced by its low fire rate; this rifle is also incredibly rare. Still, the highly coveted weapon is now back in the rifle loot pool for Rust Console Edition.
The Oceanbound Update also brought a ton of improvements. One, an option to toggle FXAA on or off has been added to the settings. Plus, there are now additional options to tinker with the FPS limit and terrain quality. Tweak these settings to help improve performance.
For bug fixes, the rubber banding effect that can occur at the top of the Launch Site’s main building has been resolved.
