Rust Console Edition: Where To Find Every Item You Need
As a beginner playing Rust, it can be a hassle figuring out all of the necessary items to build, craft, and purchase essentials. With all of the new players entering the community on console, there are thousands of PMCs that need guidance to get started.
Getting off to a fast start and building up an arsenal early on is the best way to gain a noticeable advantage over the competition. One easy time-saver is not having to waste time knowing what to do with items or how to find them.
Survivors will need to collect as much wood as possible on wipe day. Trees are everywhere on Rust island, and all gamers need is a rock to chop them down. Wood is the most common building material in the early game, and players will need it to craft a hammer, get a building plan, and erect a base. Additionally, wood, along with the next item, are used to craft early game weapons and tools like the ones listed below.
- Hammer
- Building Plan
- Stone Hatchet
- Hunting Bow
- Campfire
- Storage Boxes
- Tool Cupboard
- Door Key
- Lock
Like wood, stone is one of the four most important items to collect in the game. It is a more structurally sound building material but has a number of other uses. Stone can be mined from stone nodes throughout the map. Stone nodes are lone boulders that shimmer when approached. They can be mined with a rock, but a stone pickaxe is preferable. Listed below are a few relevant tools gamers will need stone to craft.
- Stone Pickaxe
- Stone Hatchet
- Arrows
- Handmade Shells
- Furnace/Large Furnace
- Barricades
- Stone Spear
A crucial aspect of survival is protecting oneself from radiation and cold. Hemp plants provide cloth, which is the only ingredient needed to craft the Burlap set. The Burlap set provides a total of 8% radiation protection and 24% protection from cold. Cloth is also a necessary ingredient for the following items.
- Sleeping Bag
- Syringe
- Hunting Bow
- Low Grade Fuel
- Satchel Charge
- Bota Bag
- Water Purifier
- Torch
- Survey Charge
Survivors will use scrap to craft a handful of items, but it is primarily a currency. Scrap can be used to purchase weapons, armor, and other items from the safe zones in Rust. It is also the resource cost needed to research items for crafting. The Research Table is constructed with scrap as well. Along with wood and metal fragments, scrap is needed to construct workbenches which are used to craft higher level items.
Scrap is everywhere on the island, but there are a few places that will always have some. Monuments both big and small have barrels that can be broken down into scrap. There are small barrel piles in the water along the coastlines as well.
- Research Table
- Workbenches
- Nail Gun
- Metal Spring
- Empty Propane Tank
- Metal Blade
- Gears
- Metal Pipe
- Armored Door
- Weapons
- Armor
- Shotgun Trap
- Wind Turbine
Along with scrap, metal fragments are necessary to craft dozens of important items in Rust. These fragments can be obtained in a number of ways. Metal ore can be mined from nodes that look like stone nodes, but with gray/silver veins. Melted metal ore produces metal fragments. The fragments can be found when picking up loose rocks on the ground too. Another way to acquire metal fragments is by recycling random items after looting.
- Armor And Weapons
- Research Table
- Workbench
- Sheet Metal
- Hatch
- Code Lock
- Mining Quarry
- Small Oil Refinery
- Water Purifier
Low grade fuel powers generators to create electricity. Players will need electricity for traps, computers, code locks, and other base additions that require electricity. The fuel can be crafted using animal fat and cloth. It is also commonly found in barrel piles across the island.
- Furnace
- Lantern
- Large Med Kit
- Torch
- Syringe
- Small Oil Refinery
- Incendiary Rounds
- Survey Charge
Like metal ore, the final pickaxe strike has the potential to net high quality metal (HQM). Using a pickaxe can be frustrating, however, because it will take a long time to find enough HQM for crafting purposes. Using a mining quarry and a satchel charge to loot nodes is a more effective method. Some items net HQM when recycled, but most only provide scrap and metal fragments.
- High Level Armor And Weapons
- Weapon Attachments
- Armored Doors
- CCTV Cameras
- Vending Machine
- Turrets
Hunger is a recurring issue for players early in the game. Berries and other consumable plants sprout near the shores of rivers across the map. Through looting monuments, players will get various other food items like chocolate bars and granola bars. The final way to get food is to hunt animals and cook their meat. Rust's fauna appears everywhere in the temperate biome. For a more detailed description of where to find food, check out our food guide here.
