A patch scheduled for release on February 4 will add drone delivery capabilities to the survival game Rust, and Rust producer Alistair McFarlane posted a video of the drone in action on Twitter. The drone departs from a central drone station and flies to a nearby vending machine to pick up the purchased items. The "terminal is only accessible within the safe zone and cannot be crafted by players.

Rust's vending machines are built and stocked by players, and this seems to be an effort to allow new players to get the gear they need in the safe zone before they enter the game world. However, I can only imagine that some Rust clan will become the fortress equivalent of Amazon Murder. They'll make a bunch of cool stuff and sell it to the highest bidder on the vending machines, AK-47's will be airlifted in, and the only thing they'll have to worry about is the fact that they'll have to pay for it.

Rust is one of the biggest survival games, with players starting with nothing and building up to guns and now apparently delivery drone-like technology.
