Before creating their weapons, gamers should carefully consider their play style. Point-blank range weapons will be essential for raiders casual or infrequent gamers require flexible weaponry that meets their needs.
The Best Rust Guns List
Military-grade weapons in Rust are among the most powerful. Some can only be found in loot boxes while others must be constructed at the workshop by players themselves – meaning most survivors only have access to weapons made there for immediate use. We will explore some weapons PC & console players should consider building first before searching out more potency from loot boxes.
Assault Rifle: Rust Guns
Rust only allows players to craft one weapon of “military grade known as an MP5. To make this weapon, players must reach Workbench Level 3. To craft an MP5, players will require several materials & components
Rust players can craft the Assault Rifle with the following items
- 1 Rifle Body
- 50 High Quality Metal
- 4 Metal Spring
- 200 Wood
Although the MP5 does less damage & has a shorter range than its Thompson predecessor its recoil control & rate of fire far outshone that of its counterpart making it one of the best weapon to employ at close range in Rust.
MP5A4: Rust Guns
Rust offers only one military-grade weapon the MP5 which players may construct themselves with a Workbench Level 3 needed in order to do so. Building one requires the following:
- 15 High Quality Metal
- 1 SMG Body
- 2 Metal Spring
Rust MP5 offers shorter range & lower damage than the Thompson, but better control over recoil & higher rate of fire make it ideal for close range combat. If you’re searching for an SMG that can manage close quarters combat situations then Rust’s MP5 should certainly come up trumps!
Thompson: Rust Guns
The Thompson is superior to custom SMGs in virtually every regard. While submachine guns (SMGs) can be effective weapons with their fair rate of fire & 38 damage deals per shot at 90 meters ranges, constructing & using one is easier for novice gunsmiths than creating them from scratch.
The following items are needed to craft the Thompson:
- 10 High Quality Metal
- 100 Wood
- 1 SMG Body
- 1 Metal Spring
Pump Shotgun: Rust Guns
Rust players looking for the ultimate shotgun will find that the Pump Shotgun offers incredible power at its heart dealing 210 damage with 45 meters range it easily outclasses Double Barrel Shotgun in terms of damage, range & ammo capacity.
Shotguns typically have an effective range of approximately 20 meters when used as top tier weapons & require several ingredients in their creation:
- 2 Metal Pipe
- 15 High Quality Metal
- 1 Metal Spring
Semi-Automatic Rifle
Rust players rarely encounter & overcome the Semi-Automatic Rifle (SAR), yet its versatility may make it one of the greatest weapons available in game. At long ranges, its recoil may be managed despite poor damage potential; without adequate protection however, effectively countering one can be difficult.
Players with Workbench Level 2 access & the necessary resources at their disposal can only create this weapon.
- 1 Metal Spring
- 4 High Quality Metal
- 1 Semi Automatic Body
- 450 Metal Fragments
Custom SMG
Players can create their first SMG with ease featuring a high rate of fire & low damage output. Players are able to quickly take down opponent by hitting targets quickly with this weapon however its damage start diminishing after fifty meters; thus rendering this custom SMG an attractive early game option due to its short range & high recoil.
To craft the weapon, players need:
- 1 SMG Body
- 1 Metal Spring
- 8 High Quality Metal
Python Revolver
The Python Revolver’s fast rate of fire & 55 damage make it one of the greatest pistols to use in Rust. At close range, it proves deadly; while medium range use may prove less successful.
The Python can be crafted with following items:
- 3 Metal Pipes
- 10 High Quality Metal
- 1 Metal Spring
Bolt Action Rifle
Rust weapon The Bolty deals 80 damage & boasts high bullet velocity. People in Rust may discover this sniper rifle for the first time; practicing using this gun at range is essential due to its noticeable bullet drop at longer ranges. Bolt Action Rifles are an attractive long-range combat option, though L96s may prove superior. To build one yourself, the following supplies are necessary.
- 30 High Quality Metal
- 1 Rifle Body
- 5 Metal Pipe
- 2 Metal Spring
Semi-Auto Pistol
The semi automatic pistol commonly referred to as P2 is an enhanced version of its counterpart: the revolver. While its statistics have seen minor upgrades across the board its overall damage output remains modest meaning players must hit nearly all shots with this weapon for it to remain viable.
The P2 is an affordable secondary weapon designed for players without enough funds to purchase more powerful guns. In order to build one yourself, these materials must be used:
- 3 Metal Pipes
- 1 Metal Spring
- 10 High Quality Metal
Double Barrel Shotgun
There may be worse weapons out there but the Double Barrel Shotgun certainly isn’t one of them. At point blank range, gamers can unleash 180 damage with two shells at their disposal & create havoc for enemies at close quarters.
Though shotguns may appeal to novice shooters due to their narrow range & slow reload time, these factors limit its effectiveness. Players will require collecting certain components in order to build one:
- 175 Metal Fragments
- 2 Metal Pipe
Rocket Launcher
Early-game raids & PvP both benefit immensely from having access to the Rocket Launcher. Two shots with its base rocket will knock down a typical wooden wall one missile may bring down entire doors or hatches; killing anyone caught in its path, it may also do close range splash damage against armored foes without additional rockets being required.
Based on its relatively minimal resource requirement base destroyers are among the most cos effective weapons in the game. A Rocket Launcher may be constructed using these materials:
- 2 Metal Pipe
- 150 Gun Powder
- 10 Explosives
Revolver
Rust players tend to construct their first real weapon early in the game with the Revolver. Though it has low damage & minimal felt recoil, its slow damage output & slow recoil can’t take down enemies quickly enough, leaving early players without enough firepower at their disposal to defeat foes quickly enough. Still a worthwhile choice in its own right though.
The following items can be used by Rust players to make the gun:
- Metal Pipe
- 25 Cloth
- 125 Metal Fragments
Flame Thrower
Long-ranged weapons that fire raging embers. As Rust’s inaugural weapon designed for solely fire/heat damage, its ammunition consists of Low-Grade Fuel canisters. A typical can of Low-Grade Fuel lasts 10-15 seconds before the can is depleted – these weapons typically appear during raids against wooden bases.
Stone, metal & armored structures remain undisturbed by this method – meaning its usage in PvP settings is rarely seen.
Following items are need to make Flame Thrower
- 15 High-Quality Metal
- 100 Low-Grade Fuel
- 2 Empty Propane Tanks
- 6 Metal Pipes
Conclusion
Rust offers an abundance of weaponry to meet various scenarios & preferences, meaning everyone’s tastes vary widely when it comes to weaponry available for purchase. I might say something doesn’t perform very well but we all have our opinions – don’t take my word as gospel & shoot whatever weaponry strikes your fancy. Rust’s primary draw is its fear-inducing environment where players fear others stealing your stuff & ruining bases they own, so build far from major ones when setting up base & be sure you have all necessary weapons & protection measures available before entering Rust’s virtual battlefield.
