Your first questions, answered.

Wipes, teams, shop, what the hell this even is. Top four — full answers on the FAQ page.

What is Project Lazarus?
Two custom Rust servers, built and run since 2021. Original mashes DayZ-style survival into Rust — ground loot, bank heists, drug labs, XP perks, schematics that carry through wipes. Life turns Rust into a GTA-style city — cops, careers, property, gangs, an actual economy. Same community, totally different games.
When do servers wipe?
Original — weekly wipe every Friday 5 PM GMT+1. First Friday of the month is a full wipe: BPs, quests, perks all reset. Schematics never wipe. Life — half-wipe weekly (properties, items, ATM, rep). First Friday of the month is a full wipe including battlepass & occupation levels. Countdown's at the top of this page.
What's the team limit?
Hard 4-man cap on both gamemodes. No zergs. No mega-alliances. Catch a group breaking it and every player involved eats a 24-hour ban — second offence within a year is permanent. It's why solos and small crews can actually compete here.
