FIELD MANUAL

VIOLATION RESULTS IN IMMEDIATE COURT-MARTIAL (BAN)

ALL SERVERS

GENERAL CONDUCT

01

NO CHEATING OR EXPLOITING

Use of third-party software, scripts, macros (including recoil scripts), or exploiting known game bugs will result in a permanent, unappealable ban across every Grub.Army server, in every game.

02

NO BAN EVASION

Using alternate accounts to bypass a ban will result in the new account being banned, and the original ban being extended or made permanent.

03

ADMIN CALLS ARE FINAL

Argue in a Discord ticket, not in chat or voice. Harassing staff, or impersonating them, is a ban.

RUST

RAIDING & COMBAT

04

GROUP LIMITS ARE STRICT

Do not roam, raid, or base with more players than the server limit allows. "We were just trading" or "they're just a friendly neighbour" are not valid excuses for exceeding the limit in combat or during a raid.

05

NO GRIEFING BASES

After a raid is complete, you must leave the TC unlocked or destroy it, allowing the original owner to reclaim their base. Placing external TCs purely to block building is permitted, but sealing a player entirely inside their own base to force them off the server is toxic and will be actioned.

06

ALLIANCE LIMITATIONS

You may not ally with another group to raid a target if the combined number of players exceeds the server's group limit. Cross-teaming in combat zones is strictly forbidden.

07

RAIDABLE BASES COUNT AS RAIDS

The group limit and the alliance rule apply to raidable bases exactly as they do to player bases. Two groups cannot combine to take one on, or to take one from whoever got there first, if together they exceed the server limit.

WARDOGS

BATTLEFIELD CONDUCT

08

NO INTENTIONAL TEAM KILLING

Accidents happen in a 100-player war. Repeated, targeted or spawn team-kills do not. Deliberately killing your own faction, or shooting a teammate over a vehicle, is a kick, then a ban.

09

NO GRIEFING YOUR OWN TEAM

Do not destroy friendly fortifications, ditch or crash team vehicles on purpose, block spawns or ferry teammates away from the Control Zone as a joke. Assets belong to the faction, not to you.

10

NO CROSS-TEAM COLLUSION

Three factions means three enemies. Feeding kills, cash or positions to another faction, or switching teams to sabotage the one you left, is a ban. Play the team you spawned on.

11

NO ZONE OR SPAWN EXPLOITS

Clipping into terrain or buildings, abusing map geometry to hold the Control Zone from an unreachable spot, or exploiting the economy to farm cash is treated exactly like cheating.

12

LOCAL VOICE IS A WEAPON, NOT A SPEAKER

Proximity voice is what makes WARDOGS work. Music, soundboards and ear-rape over local or squad voice get you muted, then removed.

ALL SERVERS

COMMS & CHAT

13

NO RACISM OR HATE SPEECH

Trash talk is part of the game. Slurs, extreme hate speech, or real-life threats are not. Keep the toxicity focused on the game, not personal identities. Violators will be muted or banned.

14

NO DOXXING

Sharing personal, real-life information about another player will result in an immediate, permanent ban and a report to Discord and the game's developer.

15

NO ADVERTISING

Do not advertise other servers, communities or cheat sites in chat or voice. Content creators are welcome to drop a link in Discord after asking staff.

16

VOICE ROOMS ARE SERVER COMMS

Everything above applies inside a Discord voice room, public or private. Rooms are voice-only by design — there is no room text chat to moderate. If you created a room you can remove someone you invited, but kicks and bans stay with staff: report it instead of starting a fight over who owns the channel.

How the rooms work: looking for group
