The Purple Sunglasses are a unique eye-covering introduced during the first Rust Twitch Drop event. Players that dedicated a specified number of hours to watching the Twitch Streamers for said drops were rewarded with steam items that unlock the ability to craft the Headset, purple sunglasses, and toggle in-game purple undergarments (entirely cosmetic).
While having absolutely no statistical impact of any kind, and other than a pixelated set of shades cover a player’s peepers, the Purple Sunglasses and their DLC-acquired cousins do slightly cut down on the amount of glare that is produced via the RUST Sun.
Players can no longer acquire this Steam item, but those who did manage to dedicate the required hour to watching streamers can produce them with a small number of metal fragments.
