The Reality of Using Rust Cheats: Spoofers, Bans and Admin Reactions
The community has pretty much made peace with bans, mostly because spoofers are widely available to protect your hardware from HWID blocks. Bans come up constantly here: if someone reports you, the response can be immediate. YouTube is full of server admins clowning on cheaters, but other detection methods are also at work.
If you're running cheats on Rust and haven't been banned within an hour, and you're not going out of your way to grief people, you'll probably survive until the next wipe. The devs try to protect clean players from cheaters, and in the meantime they're quietly collecting data on you.
Any time you run third-party software there's always a risk of getting banned.
