Rust item store questions

What time does the Rust item store reset?

There is no fixed time. In the last 12 months the store changed on a Thursday 51 of 52 times (Pacific time). On force wipe Thursdays it changed in the morning: 10 of 12 times between 9:13 AM and 10:18 AM Pacific.

The countdown at the top of this page shows the next window in your own time zone.

Is the Rust item store refresh time the same every week?

No. The weekly refresh moves by hours from week to week: in the last year the earliest Thursday rotation was first seen at 7:36 AM Pacific and the latest at 5:01 PM. These times are for the Steam item store on PC.

Does the Rust store change on force wipe day?

Yes, and earlier than usual. On the first Thursday of the month the new skins have shown up in the morning, Pacific time, in the hour or two before the monthly update ships at 2 PM ET (11 AM PT). In the last year the exceptions were December 4 and January 1, when the store changed in the afternoon instead.

How long do skins stay in the Rust item store?

Each weekly set stays until the next rotation replaces it. Over the last year the median gap between rotations was 7.0 days.

Is there an official reset time?

No official reset time is published for the weekly rotation, and the recorded times move around by several hours from week to week. That is why any single fixed time quoted for it is only right on some weeks, and why this page works from the times each new store was actually first seen.

Where do these times come from?

From SCMM (rust.scmm.app), which checks the Steam item store and records when each new weekly store first appears. The real change can come a few minutes before SCMM records it. The history on this page was last updated on September 26, 2026.
