Inside the worlds

Systems deep enough
to obsess over.

Two worlds, dozens of interlocking systems. A taste of what you're actually doing once you load in.

Original — DayZ × Rust

Ground Loot & Scavenging

Scavenge real ground loot and fight through the infected — DayZ-style survival, not vanilla node farming.

Bank Heists

Crack the vault, haul the gold, and survive the firefight on the way out.

Schematics & Battlepass

Unlock schematics, climb the skill tree, and grind a seasonal pass for gear and perks.

Custom Events

Control zones, plane crashes, oil rigs and patrol helis — fight rivals for the best loot on the map.

Life — Rust × GTA

Careers & Jobs

Mine, drive, fish or work 6+ legit careers for honest income — or a cover story.

Crime & Turf Wars

Rob, heist and run the streets — or pin on a badge and bring the law down on them.

Drug Empire

Farm it, cook it and corner the market — the most profitable path is also the most dangerous.

Property & Empire

Own homes and businesses, bank a player-driven economy, and defend your turf.

Why players stay

Built for weekly
Rust obsession.

The pitch is not just “modded Rust.” It is fair teams, real progression, active staff, and systems deep enough to make the next wipe matter.

01
Hard 4-player cap
No zerg snowball. The rules keep fights readable and let solos, duos and small crews compete.
02
Progression survives wipes
Schematics, perks and long-term systems mean every session can move your next wipe forward.
03
Custom heists and economy
Banks, drugs, contraband, property, jobs and player markets turn downtime into decisions.
04
Staff and Discord are active
LFG, support, trade, patch notes and staff channels keep the game alive between sessions.
05
Weekly wipe rhythm
Friday wipes create a predictable rush: fresh bases, contested monuments and a clean race to the top.
06
New-player runway
Starter kit, wiki pages, clear rules and gamemode pages make it easier to bring friends in.
Before you join

Know the rules.
Then send it.

The shortest version of what matters before loading in. Full rules and FAQ stay one click away if you need details.

Read first

Fair fights are the product.

Project Lazarus is moderated around small teams, no cheats, no abuse, and clear gamemode boundaries. If that sounds good, you are the right player.

Full Rules Full FAQ
Team limit
Both gamemodes run a hard 4-player cap. No zergs, no mega alliances, and no pretending six people are “just neighbours.”
Wipes and progression
Original wipes weekly, with monthly full wipes. Life has weekly half-wipes and monthly full-wipes. Long-term progression differs by gamemode, and the live countdown above stays updated.
Cheats, scripts and bug abuse
No cheats, no scripts, no macros, no bug abuse and no stream-sniping. Staff enforce this hard because fair wipes are the whole point.
Free kit and store
The free kit helps you start. Store purchases support the servers and unlock ranks, skins, kits, perks and quality-of-life extras.
Last step

Your next wipe
starts on Discord.

Squad up in LFG, read the patch notes, grab the free kit, hit connect. No sign-up. No gatekeep. Just press join.
