The Most Used Raid Tools in Rust

Eoka Pistol

Eoka pistol is one of the most used weapons in the basic raid in Rust. It is normal to hear a lot of eoka sounds during the first two days of server wiping. With this weapon, they usually break wooden doors and tool cupboards quite cheaply.

Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo / Explosive Ammo

If you think the eoka pistol is too primitive for me. Semi-Automatic Rifle with explosive ammo is another common method for raids. It's noticeably cheaper than crafting satchel charges, and if you put a silencer on your guns, you can raid stealthily, no one will even hear you, and you don't have to worry about counter raiders.

Satchel Charge

In Rust raid, satchel Charges are another raid method that is the most widely used by groups that are not too crowded, and raid costs are relatively cheap with satchel charges. Although it makes more noise than explosive ammo, It allows you to enter the base you raid much faster.

Satchel Charges don't deal as much splash damage as Rockets, but they are often used for a basic raid. The sulfur cost of a satchel charges is relatively cheap, but make sure that the fuse goes out occasionally when using them or you may die. Keep in mind that to craft this explosive, you will first need the beancan grenades blueprint.

Rocket

Let's come to the big pieces. Rockets, and crafting rockets are separate issue, raiding a base with a rocket without getting countered is another issue.

In Rust, that's why rockets are usually used by very large groups, and raid costs with rockets are pretty high. But if can find the cheapest construction to raid and you are confident about counter raiders you can of course use it. The biggest reason to use rockets is that you can splash damage walls at once.

Wooden Doors and Double Wooden Doors

Wooden doors are the cheapest construction in Rust.

In Rust, Wooden doors are usually made on the server's first day because they are cheap and fast, but they are very flimsy. They should be replaced with a metal door as soon as you have enough metal for a metal door from your furnaces or by recycling.

Sheet metal doors are a door you should craft as soon as you have enough metal to craft them. Thanks to these sheet metal doors, your neighbors will not be able to raid you easily. Unlike the wooden door, it is also highly resistant to fire and melee damage.

Armored Door and Armored Double Door

The armored door is the most powerful door in Rust. You can find the armored door from heavy scientists, locked crates, and elite crates or you can craft it for the cost of some components and resources.

Armored doors are really important for the defense of your building against raids. The small hatch in the armored door allows you to shoot in or out from both sides of the door. It is also very strong against explosives, increasing the raid cost considerably.

Raid Efficiently in Rust

There are not many tips or tricks to door raiding in Rust, it is quite simple and straightforward. The most important thing to consider when raiding is to exploit the weaknesses of the target base as much as possible and find the cheapest building. For example, if a base has a soft wall like this one, there's no point in wasting explosives ammo, or your precious raiding resource by going through the door. With tips and tricks like these, you can lower your raid costs.

Raid Cost in Rust and How to Reduce It? (Most Efficient Ways) | TGG (33)

Soft side walls are much more fragile than hard side walls and are eligible for melee damage raiding, in other words, basic raid. If you can find soft side walls your raid costs will be halved because it means raiding without even using rust gunpowder.

Raid Cost of Walls in Rust

Wooden Wall

In terms of durability, a wooden wall is not much different from a wooden door. Nevertheless, if you want to make a quick start and at least have a roof over your head, you can do it, but as soon as you have enough stones, all construction should be upgraded to stone.

(The walls on the right side are reversed, i.e. soft side.)

Stone Wall

Stone walls are the most common type of wall and if you can make a soft side, the return is very high. It takes much less time than the soft side of the metal wall.

Since it is the stone resource you will encounter the most, most of the bases you will see will be stone constructions, and if you see a soft side in a base, you should definitely try your luck.
