Description

Dragon - Rule the Skies

Bring a fire-breathing boss encounter to your Rust server.

Dragon patrols above your map, hunts players, unleashes explosive fireballs, and rains grenades down during strafing runs. Roaring audio, and flame effects bring this flying scrap-metal creature to life.

Fight it, Bring it down to claim burning loot crates and wreckage.

  • Explosive fireballs: configurable damage, explosion radius, firing range, and cooldown.
  • Strafing attacks: overhead grenade runs with contact explosions.
  • Anti-air combat: attacks occupied player helicopters.
  • Retaliation: responds to attackers and remembers recent threats.
  • Cover pressure: can continue attacking a target’s last known position when they hide.
  • Flare defense: counters incoming homing missiles with a configurable cooldown.
  • Homing targetability: choose whether players can lock onto Dragon.

  • Loot integrations: normal loot, AlphaLoot profiles, or Loot Table presets.
  • Map marker: optional Patrol Helicopter marker.
  • Automatic spawning: maintain between 0 and 5 dragons, with configurable lifetime and respawn delay.
  • Departure behavior: flies toward the map edge when its lifetime ends.
