CodeRush
coderush.mezes.uzRust · code lock helper
A keypad in Rust has 10 000 possible codes, and guessing them at random is how raids die of boredom. CodeRush hands you one code at a time, starting with the ones people actually pick, and remembers exactly where you stopped.
What the screen looks like right after Start: the code you are on, the ones queued behind it, and how far into the list you have got.
Overview
Doors and boxes in Rust are locked with a four-digit keypad — every combination from 0000 to 9999, ten thousand of them. When you are standing in front of one, there is no clever trick available: you type a code, the lock stays shut, you type another one.
The real problem is not typing. It is memory. After a couple of hundred attempts nobody can honestly say which codes they have already burned through, so the same numbers get tried twice, whole blocks get skipped, and the argument over whose turn it is takes longer than the attempts themselves.
CodeRush is a web page that keeps the list for you. It walks the full set of 10 000 codes in a fixed, deliberately chosen order — not shuffled, and not counting up from 0000, but sorted so that the codes people are most likely to have set come first. You press one button, you get the next code, and the page keeps count.
It runs in a browser, on a phone next to your keyboard or on a second monitor. There is nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, and nothing to pay.
Why it exists
The current code sits in the middle of the screen with the last five above it and the next five below, so you can always see where you are in the run. A progress bar underneath shows how much of the full list is behind you.
Once a code has been handed out it never comes back. That holds on your own device, and it holds across a whole group of people hitting the same lock from different sides of the base.
Counting up from 0000 wastes hundreds of attempts on numbers no human being would ever set. CodeRush front-loads the list with the combinations people genuinely choose, so the early attempts are the ones most likely to open something.
Close the tab, get killed, come back an hour later — your position is still there. Solo progress is stored in your browser, and group progress lives on the group itself.
The sequence
CodeRush does not generate a code when you press the button. The entire sequence is decided in advance — the same 10 000 codes in the same order, whether you are alone or in a group — and the front of that sequence is not a guess.
How the run opens
The first 20 codes are not scored or estimated — they are listed in real-world popularity order, taken from DataGenetics’ well-known analysis of roughly 3.4 million leaked PINs. These are the four-digit numbers people actually chose when they thought nobody was counting, and the habits behind them do not change just because the keypad is in a video game.
Scoring
Once the 20 known favourites are used up, every remaining code is given a score for how human it looks. High scores are the shapes people reach for — repeats, runs, patterns, birthdays. Low scores are the codes that look like nothing at all. The list is then ordered from the highest score down.
| Score | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 | All four digits identical | 0000, 5555 |
| 920 | Ascending run | 0123, 3456 |
| 900 | Descending run | 9876 |
| 840 | ABAB pattern | 1212, 3737 |
| 780 | AABB pattern | 1122 |
| 740 | Palindrome, ABBA | 1221 |
| 720 | A shape on the phone keypad — 43 codes qualify | 2580, 1470 |
| 700 | Birth year, 1950–2012 | 1987 |
| 660 | Other years, 1900–2029 | 1923 |
| 560 | Three identical digits | 1112 |
| 500 | A date read as MMDD | 0101, 1231 |
| 480 | A date read as DDMM | 3112 |
| 440 | Ends in 00 | 1500 |
| 120 | Contains a pair | 4877 |
| 0 | Looks random | 9897 |
This is statistical prioritisation, not brute force. CodeRush cannot open anything by itself and it does not shorten the list — all 10 000 codes are still in there. What it changes is the order you meet them in, and that matters, because most real locks are opened well inside the first few hundred attempts. A base owner who picked their own birth year is going to see that code come up early; one who mashed the keypad blindfolded will not.
Step by step
The first code appears immediately: 1234, the single most common four-digit code there is. Above and below it you can see the five codes just used and the five coming next.
Punch the code into the keypad in game exactly as it is shown. If the door opens, you are done — close the tab.
The next code in the sequence takes its place and the progress bar moves. There is a short cooldown of about half a second between codes, so give the button a moment before pressing again.
Solo progress is saved in your browser. Refresh the page, close the tab, get raided yourself — when you return, the run picks up on the code you had reached.
CodeRush asks Start over? before it does anything. Confirm, and the list goes back to 1234 for the new door or box.
You get a private group with its own link, and the You own this group badge marks you as the one who can reset it later.
The button confirms with ✓ Copied!. Paste the link into your team chat; as people open it, the header count rises — 3 online · shared pool means three of you are working the same list.
Each press hands that person the next unused code, so nobody duplicates anybody else. The progress bar is shared, and the run ends for everyone at the same place.
Modes
Both modes walk the exact same sequence. The difference is who the list belongs to.
| Solo | Group | |
|---|---|---|
| Who the list belongs to | You, on this device | Everyone holding the link |
| Where progress is kept | In your browser | On the shared group |
| Survives a refresh | Yes | Yes |
| Who gets which code | You take every code in turn | Each press hands out the next unused code |
| Can two people collide | No one else is in the list | No — a code is never handed out twice |
| Who can reset | You | Only the person who created it |
| Needs a connection | No — it keeps working offline | Yes, so everyone stays in sync |
| Best for | One lock, one player | A raid party splitting the work |
Teams
Group mode is where CodeRush earns its place. Four people on one shared pool get through four times as much of the list in the same window — and they never waste an attempt on a code a teammate already tried.
Press 👥 Create Group and you get a private group with a short, unique ten-character ID. Lookalike characters are left out of it, so nobody loses a letter reading the link out loud.
Press 🔗 Copy link, the button answers ✓ Copied!, and you paste it into your team chat. Anyone who opens it joins the same pool — no accounts, no invites to accept.
The header shows a live count in the form N online · shared pool, so you know how many teammates are actually pulling codes right now rather than sitting in the respawn screen.
Codes are handed out one at a time, in order, by the server. When two teammates press Next code → at the same instant they get two different codes — never the same one, and never a gap in between.
Everyone sees the same position in the list, so the group can tell at a glance how deep into the sequence the raid has gone and decide whether to keep going.
The person who created the group carries a You own this group badge and is the only one who can wipe progress and start the pool again. A stray click from a teammate cannot undo an hour of work.
Interface
The whole interface is a handful of buttons and a few short messages.
| On screen | What it means |
|---|---|
| Start | Begins the run and puts the first code, 1234, on screen. |
| Next code → | The current code did not work. Move on and hand me the next one. |
| Reset | Drop back to the beginning of the list — for a new lock. |
| Start over? | The confirmation asked before a reset, so progress is never lost by accident. |
| 👥 Create Group | Turns your run into a shared pool with its own link. |
| 🔗 Copy link | Puts the group link on your clipboard to paste to friends. |
| ✓ Copied! | The link is on your clipboard — send it. |
| N online · shared pool | How many people are currently in the group, drawing from the same list. |
| You own this group | You created this group, so the Reset button is yours alone. |
| All codes tried | The end of the sequence. Every one of the 10 000 codes has been handed out. |
| This group doesn’t exist or was reset away. | The link points to a group that is gone — ask the owner for a fresh one. |
Limits
CodeRush does not open anything and does not know the code. It orders the attempts intelligently, which stacks the odds in your favour early on — but a base owner who genuinely picked at random can sit near the bottom of a 10 000-line list, and no ordering will change that.
After each code the button rests for about half a second while a small bar fills. That is deliberate: it keeps autoclickers from tearing through the list and turning a shared pool into confetti.
Group pages are excluded from search engines, so a link is only as public as you make it. Anyone you send it to can join and pull codes, so treat it the way you would treat any team channel.
If the owner resets a group and you open an old link, you get This group doesn’t exist or was reset away. Ask for the current link.
Work through everything and you reach All codes tried — the sequence closes on 9897, the most anonymous-looking code in the set.
Both modes read the same prepared sequence, so a code has the same position in the run no matter which mode you are in.
Questions
It gives you every one of the 10 000 four-digit codes a Rust keypad can take, one at a time, in a fixed order that starts with the codes people are most likely to have set. It keeps track of where you have got to so you never retry a code, and it can share that list across a whole raid party. It does not interact with the game in any way — you read the code off the screen and type it in yourself.
Two sources. The first 20 codes are real-world frequency order, taken from DataGenetics’ analysis of roughly 3.4 million leaked PINs — starting with 1234, 1111, 0000, 1212 and 7777. The remaining 9 980 are scored by how human they look: four identical digits score highest, then ascending and descending runs, ABAB and AABB patterns, palindromes, keypad shapes, birth years, dates, and so on. Codes with no recognisable shape score zero and sit at the end.
Not really. A brute force walks 0000, 0001, 0002 and treats every code as equally likely, which is the one thing we know is false about codes people choose. CodeRush covers the same 10 000 combinations but reorders them by likelihood, which is why most real locks fall well inside the first few hundred attempts instead of somewhere in the middle of the range.
No. In solo mode your position is saved in your browser, so a refresh, a crash or a closed tab does not reset anything — come back and the next code is the one you had not tried yet. In a group the position lives on the group itself, so it survives for every member independently of their device.
Codes are handed out one at a time by the server rather than calculated on each person’s screen. When two teammates press Next code → simultaneously, one gets the next code and the other gets the one after it — a code is never issued twice, and no code is skipped. That is the whole reason group mode exists: four people on one shared pool cover four times the list without stepping on each other.
No. Only the person who created the group can reset it, and they are marked with a You own this group badge so everyone knows who that is. Resetting also asks Start over? first. If a group is reset away, old links stop working and show This group doesn’t exist or was reset away.
There is a deliberate cooldown of about half a second between codes, shown as a small bar filling under the button. It exists to keep autoclickers from burning through a shared pool in seconds. You cannot type codes into a keypad faster than that anyway, so in normal use you will barely notice it.
Not through search — group pages are excluded from search engines, and the group ID is a random ten-character string with lookalike characters left out. The link is private in the sense that it is unguessable and unlisted, so it is exactly as private as the chat you paste it into.
None of the three. CodeRush is a web page: open it, press Start, and you are running. Creating a group takes one button and no registration, and the whole thing is free. Solo mode does not even need a live connection once the page is open.
9897. It has no repeated digits in a pattern, no run, no mirror, and it does not read as a year or a date, so it scores zero on every rule and lands at the very bottom of the sequence. If you ever reach it, the page tells you All codes tried.
Yes, one at a time. The run is tied to whatever door or box you are working on, so when you move to the next target press Reset, confirm Start over?, and the list goes back to 1234. In a group, the owner does the same for everyone.
Yes. The page is built to be usable on a phone screen, which is how most people run it — game on the monitor, CodeRush in one hand, reading off the next code while you type.
Start
Press Start and you are on 1234 in a second. Bring your team along with 👥 Create Group and one shared link, and let the list take care of itself.
