Rust Console Edition: Update 1.56 Fixes Metal Shop Front and More

Update 1.56 for Rust Console Edition is now available on all supported platforms. This patch does not provide any new content, but it does address numerous bugs and exploits that were preventing some features from functioning properly.

The Metal Shop Front in Rust Console Edition allows players to make secure trades by putting up a bulletproof shop anywhere on the map. That said, there was a bug that prevented players from completing deals because the “Give” button did not work correctly. This happens whenever one side of the shop is full. This pesky bug has now been resolved, so players must download this patch on their consoles as soon as possible.

This update has addressed some exploits as well. For instance, the exploit where players can guess codes on Code Locks without getting electrocuted has been fixed.
