    In its own words
    The Couch is the only weekly vanilla server that requires all players to enable Secure Boot, which stops many cheats from working. If you want fewer cheaters, hop on and bring a friend. • Map wipe every Thursday at 11:00 AM Pacific • Blueprint wipe monthly at force-wipe • Map kept secret until wipe, so nobody knows it in advance • Vanilla Rust, no gameplay modifications • No group limit • No paid perks, no VIP, no kits • All players must have Secure Boot and TPM enabled • Private Steam profiles are allowed, but you may be required to temporarily make it public • Hosted on a dedicated server • Zero tolerance for racism, antisemitism, harassment, and slurs • Player names hidden from BattleMetrics • Private stats pages, type /stats in game for your code • More info and the Discord link at www.thecouch.lol Photo Credit: Miguel Delvillar (@theconcavelens) rs001L)5dsqskMQ{u0rAi400<nw
