Although rare, it is possible to find free rust skins or items. The simplest and effortless way that everyone prefers is to play the game. After playing the game for a certain period, you can get random drops. The more you play, the higher your chance of getting drops.

Other than that, although some servers have permanently disabled random drops, there are still servers that provide an appearance for a few hours of gameplay. But some of them have a daily limit, so you can get a certain number of items.
