⚠ avoid
Only use kick.facepunch.com for official Kick Drops
Any third-party site asking you to log in with Steam, pay a small "verification fee", or complete a survey to claim "free Rust Kick Drops" is still fraudulent. The legitimate Rust watch-time paths are Facepunch's official linking pages: kick.facepunch.com for Kick campaigns and twitch.facepunch.com for Twitch campaigns.

Are Kick Drops the same as Twitch Drops?
No. Rust Kick Drops and Rust Twitch Drops are separate campaigns. Kick uses kick.facepunch.com and Kick Drops Inventory; Twitch uses twitch.facepunch.com and Twitch Drops Inventory.
Are free Rust Kick Drops websites legit?
Official Rust Kick Drops are real, but random third-party free-skin sites are not. Use kick.facepunch.com only. Avoid any page asking for a fee, survey, private Steam credentials or trade confirmation outside the official flow.
Can console players claim Kick Drops?
Rust Kick Drops deliver to Steam inventory, so they are for the PC Steam version of Rust. They do not unlock on Rust Console Edition accounts.
How Kick Drops Round 3 works
Rust Kick Drops use a separate Kick account flow: link Steam and Kick at kick.facepunch.com, watch eligible Rust streams with drops enabled, then claim rewards in Kick Drops Inventory. General drops count across eligible Rust Kick streams; streamer drops require watching the listed creator or creator group.
For Round 3 / Kickoff 2, the general rewards are Large Wood Box, Garage Door and Locker at 2/4/6 hours. Streamer-specific rewards include Crossbow, SKS, Large Backpack, Tactical Gloves, Pickaxe, Salvaged Axe, Sheet Metal Double Door, Assault Rifle, M249 and Sheet Metal Door. Use the official campaign page for the live list because creator availability and claim status can change during the event.
Kick Drops vs Twitch Drops
Kick and Twitch campaigns do not share progress. A Kick stream does not progress Twitch rewards, and a Twitch stream does not progress Kick rewards. Now that Kickoff 2 has ended, the Rust Twitch Drops status page covers the live Round 51 charity campaign on Twitch; this page stays as the Kick reference for the next round.
For free Rust skins, stay with official routes: Kick Drops, Twitch Drops, Prime Gaming, rare Steam item drops and legitimate creator giveaways. Do not enter Steam credentials on third-party free-skin pages.
