60 creative ways to deal with cheaters — 12 brand new. Payback gives admins an arsenal of punishment cards — from butterfingers that make cheaters drop their gun, to bee swarms that chase them across the map, to loading them into a cannon and launching them into the ocean. Stack multiple cards on one player. Apply to their entire team. All from an in-game admin panel.
Battle-tested on Mango, Vortex, and Rustopia. Rust devs confirmed this plugin is allowed on Community and Official servers.
How It Works
Look at a player and run a command — or target by name or SteamID
Cards stack — Drunk + Spinbot + Swarm on the same player. Maximum chaos.
Team mode — add team after any command to hit the whole squad
Persist across restarts — cards survive server restarts and plugin reloads (configurable)
Zero dependencies — drop it in and go
