The RUST Teleport Command

What the RUST teleport command does

The RUST teleport command, also known as the RUST tp command, allows admins to teleport a player’s character from one location to a specified location, object, or player. There are multiple tp commands and ways that teleportation works in RUST. Some teleport commands allow admins and moderators to teleport to the nearest person or entity, while others allow for them to teleport to a particular person, place, or coordinates in the game map. In this post, you will learn how to tp in RUST using console commands.

Some practical reasons for using the RUST teleport command:

Instantly travel across the game map to settle disputes

Help players that are stuck inside of the games underworld or geometry

Help players quickly get to each other in the game

Teleport to a special entity difficult to find on the game map

Teleport to a specific location to call in helicopters and airdrops

Who can enter the RUST teleport command

The RUST teleport command can be issued by RUST admins and moderators only. Some of the teleport commands require the administrator or moderator invoking it to be logged in to the game server, while others do not and work inside of an RCON platform. Players that want teleportation will need to rely on administrators, moderators, or RUST plugins to teleport around the game.

RUST teleport command syntax

Some things to keep in mind for all of the teleport commands:

The RUST teleport command can kill admins, moderators, and players if they teleport to other players located inside buildings, caves or monuments.

Request that the player or location being teleport too is outside, preferably in a flat area, otherwise, they risk being stuck, hurt, killed, or sent to the underworld.

Admins should turn god mode on before they teleport to prevent the above risks.

All of the RUST teleport commands support the teleportation of one player at a time.
