Yes. Rust skins live in your Steam inventory, not on any server. Wipes reset bases, blueprints and progression, but Hot Topic stays yours forever and works on every server you join.

Hot Topic first appeared in the official item store on March 9, 2017 for $1.49. Facepunch occasionally brings old store skins back for another week. While a skin is back on sale, its market price usually drops toward the store price; skins that never return tend to hold or grow in value.

Own Hot Topic on your Steam account and it is available in Rust automatically: select the skin when crafting the base item, or re-skin one you already placed or carry at a Repair Bench. No purchase inside Rust is needed and the skin never wears out.
