Rust Console Feature PageRust Console Clans Bot and Clan System
Helios gives Rust Console Edition server owners a clan system that lets players create clans, invite members, and manage leadership while owners keep control of policy. Configure clan roles and rules from Discord, then open clan tools to players on PlayStation and Xbox.
Clans add community structure to your server, with leader roles, member management, and an optional nickname prefix so teams are easy to recognize in chat and feeds.
Configure clan settings and decide your prefix policy before you open clan tools to players, so naming and permissions are consistent from day one.
Quick take
A Rust Console clan system works best when owners set leader role permissions tightly, decide the nickname prefix policy up front, and validate create, invite, promote, and demote flows with test users before launch.

How the clan system works
- Configure the clan leader role and optional nickname prefix policy in
/settings clan. - Players use
/clanto create and manage their clan, invites, and members. - Owners and admins can use
/player disband-clanfor moderation actions. - Validate create, invite, promote, and demote flows with test users before launch.
Recommended rollout sequence
- Confirm premium is active — clans are premium-gated.
- Configure leader role and decide whether nickname prefixes are required.
- Run a private test of the full clan lifecycle, then open it to players.
Common server-owner scenarios
Competitive server
Keep leader permissions limited and document kick and disband policy for staff.
Roleplay server
Use prefixes for faction identity and keep clan moderation rules explicit.
New wipe
Re-check clan settings and premium allocation before each wipe cycle.
Validation and troubleshooting checkpoints
- If players can open the clan UI but actions fail, verify premium is active.
- Check that staff actions are run by approved roles when permission mismatches appear.
- Re-check clan settings and premium allocation before each wipe cycle.
