Rust Weapons Guide

Weapons are essential for survival in Rust. From primitive tools to military-grade firearms, choosing the right weapon can mean the difference between victory and defeat in PvP encounters.

Weapon Tiers

  • Primitive: Basic weapons like spears and bows, crafted from common materials
  • Tier 1: Early-game firearms requiring a Workbench Level 1
  • Tier 2: Mid-game weapons requiring Workbench Level 2
  • Tier 3: End-game weapons requiring Workbench Level 3
  • Military: Elite weapons only found in high-tier monuments and airdrops

Choosing the Right Weapon

Consider your playstyle, available resources, and situation when selecting weapons. Long-range engagements favor rifles and snipers, while close-quarters combat benefits from shotguns and SMGs. Always carry a sidearm for backup, and don't underestimate the power of primitive weapons in the early game.
