If you've ever wanted to play a chaotic open-world survival game full of players shooting up in front of you (or just want to see how long you can survive in a zombie apocalypse), Steam's Pioneer Survival Pack Sale on Steam.

From March 7 through March 14, Rust and DayZ can be purchased together for 40% off at $50.98/£41.38; Rust came out in 2013 and still has a dedicated community despite its five-year early access period. [Alistair McFarlane, producer at Facepunch Studios, said in a press release, "DayZ was one of the first inspirations for Rust in early 2013.

If you're trying to convince some friends to join the fight to survive in this unforgiving lobby, or to get revenge when a random player guns you down and steals all your stuff, this bundle is the perfect way to boost that sales pitch.

Rust has been cheaper before (lowest price is $8.74 / £6.94), but the last discount was only 33% off in December, and Dayz was 40% off in early February. So, while this Pioneer Survival Pack sale is not a groundbreaking price cut, it is still a good enough discount if you are looking to get both games together right now.

"Diving back into the chaos of Rust is always a blast.

It's no different in DayZ, where most players are eager to take all you've got or hunt you down for sport. However, I have a bit of a morbid obsession with zombie games, so my idea of fun is fighting off the undead clawing at my feet while someone is trying to steal a headshot from the building on the other side.

My only advice to those new to these survival games is to take the "shoot first, apologize later" approach.
