Setup

Live tonight, not next wipe

Three steps. The only thing you need from your host is your WebRCON IP, port and password.

Invite the bot

Add Helios to your Discord in one click. No hosting, no server files, no scripts to maintain.

Connect over WebRCON

Paste the WebRCON details from G-Portal or Nitrado. Helios connects straight to your Rust Console server.

Switch features on

Every system is a toggle on one settings panel — in Discord or in the browser. Test each one in chat as you go.

Not sure yet? Add Helios free, connect your server, and run the free feature set for a wipe. Upgrade when your community outgrows it.

The real thing

What it actually looks like

Unedited captures of the shipping panels, so you can judge the interface before you commit a wipe to it.

Every feature is one toggle

One settings panel per server. Turn killfeeds, teleports, zones, economy and the rest on and off without touching a config file — and hand the panel to a staff member you trust with it.

Offline raid protection that runs itself

Set the rules once — mode, zone size, activation delay, expiry, scheduled raid hours — and players create their own protection zones in game. The single biggest reason owners upgrade.

Common questions

What is the best Rust Console Edition Discord bot?

Helios, for most servers — because one install covers the feeds, player tools, economy, progression and automation you would otherwise stitch together from several bots. Whatever you pick, judge it on five things: whether it connects to your host over WebRCON, what stops working when the free tier ends, how much you rebuild after every wipe, whether staff permissions are granular enough to trust your team with, and whether the documentation matches the shipping product. The checklist below documents Helios against all five so you can run the same test on anything else.

Is Helios free?

Free to start, and the free tier does not expire. Killfeeds, player activity feeds, TP/home, zones, kits, binds, shop, economy, battle pass, leaderboards and the web dashboard are all included at no cost. Premium unlocks the advanced systems in the table above, billed per game server.

How much is premium, and what does it cover?

$10.99 per month or $112.10 per year for one connected Rust Console game server — the annual plan saves 15%, about $9.34 a month. Checkout is hosted by Stripe, premium activates automatically after payment, and it covers every premium system for that server. See the premium page.

Can I cancel? What happens to my settings?

Cancel any time from Stripe and you keep access to the end of the paid billing period. Refunds are available within 48 hours of a purchase or renewal. After that, free-tier features keep working, and premium settings stay saved — turning premium back on restores them rather than making you rebuild. Ask any bot you are evaluating the same question before you commit a season to it.

Does one subscription cover all my servers?

No — premium is billed per connected game server, so a second server needs its own subscription. Premium does include /server copy, which clones all settings and kits from a server you have already configured onto another one, so the second setup is fast.

Does it work with my host, on PlayStation and Xbox?

If your host exposes WebRCON, yes. G-Portal and Nitrado both do — see the G-Portal and Nitrado setup guides. Helios connects over WebRCON rather than through the console platform, so PlayStation and Xbox servers behave the same; the requirement is on your host, not your platform. Helios is Rust Console Edition only — it does not support Rust PC.

Do I need to edit server files or install plugins?

No. Helios connects over WebRCON and runs everything through Discord and a web dashboard. Rust Console Edition does not support server plugins the way Rust on PC does, which is why every console bot works this way.

How long does setup take?

Connecting a server takes a few minutes once you have the WebRCON details from your host. Configuring the features you actually want takes longer — and is the part worth testing the week before wipe day rather than during it. Start at Start Here.

How much do I rebuild after a wipe?

Map-placed content such as zones is re-set per map, because the map changes. Everything else persists. The /wipe controls let you choose exactly what resets — stats, hours, bags, TP/home, battle pass — so you decide what carries over between seasons.

Can I get my data out later?

Your configuration and player data stay tied to your Discord server and your Helios account, and you can reach both from the dashboard. If you need an export, ask in the support Discord.

Do your own homework

Judge it for yourself

We wrote this page, so use this checklist on Helios and on every other bot you are weighing up. These are the questions that decide whether a bot survives a live wipe.

What to check How to check it Where Helios stands
Host compatibility Confirm your host allows WebRCON before you pay for anything. Connects over WebRCON on G-Portal and Nitrado. No server files to edit, nothing to self-host.
Free-tier limits Ask exactly which features stop working once a free tier or trial runs out. The free tier is permanent, not a trial. The split above is the whole of it.
Wipe-day workload Ask what has to be rebuilt after every map wipe. Map-placed content such as zones is re-set per map. /wipe controls let you choose what resets: stats, hours, bags, TP/home, battle pass.
Staff permissions Check whether admin actions are gated by role, not by trust. Commands map to Discord roles — Manage Server for admins, Administrator for destructive actions.
Docs and support Read the setup guide for one feature you need, then ask a real question in the support Discord. Every feature has a setup page in the Helios docs, plus an active support Discord.

We do not publish rankings of competing bots. We cannot test other products often enough to keep those claims accurate, and a vendor scoring its own rivals is not evidence. The one comparison we do publish is against Mr. Bandit, G-Portal's first-party bot, sourced from G-Portal's own documentation. If anything on this page is wrong or out of date, tell us in the Helios Discord and we will fix it.

Run your whole server from one bot.

Free to start, live the same evening, and every premium system ready the moment your community grows into it.
