Rust: The Complete list of “p2w” Items In RUST

There are many different items in Rust you can purchase in DLCs or from the Steam market, Rust Item store, or get via Twitch drops. Some Items can give competitive advantages over others and or can be considered to be “p2w” and in this post, I’m going to be going over all the items worth getting that give competitive advantages and could be considered “p2w”.

It should also be noted that not all of these are actually paid items, and many can’t be acquired anymore which is why I have so essentially this is a list of items that gives you an added benefit over people who don’t have said item.

• Bandana Mask and Boonie Hat
  These two items can only be crafted if you own a skin for them however, the Boonie hat is a decent form of protection and even better when combined with a bandana mask. Together these items will provide a 25%% projectile protection. The bandana can be paired with many different head slot items and is used a lot in early-mid game gear load-outs.
• Arctic Suit
  The Arctic suit is a skin for the Hazmat suit and gives you a boost in cold protection and stops you from getting wet but slightly decreases your radiation levels. This is the only hazmat skin with altered stats in-game and can be found in the Arctic Pack in the Rust Item Store.

There are a lot of skins that provide camouflage in Rust, and I am not going to list all of them because which camouflage skins are best depends on the environment around you there are so many skins that give camouflage benefits however, some more noteworthy skins are:

• Spacesuit
• Nomad Outfit
  Both these skins are for the Hazmat suit and make it no longer a bright yellow and red color.
• Mummy Wraps
  This is an underwear item. Having this item means you’ll be able to select this as your player’s default appearance and become more camouflaged and able to hide better in bushes.
• Egg suit
  The egg suit can be painted however you like when unequipped giving you the ability to help you blend in with your environment.

Glowing skins are items you can see in the dark like boxes, doors some clothing, and weapons. Glowing items themselves are not that important since each player spawns with a torch however, glowing items can make navigating inside your base a little easier and more convenient but are a bit more of a novelty however, Weapon skins where just the iron-sight glow offer more of a competitive advantage these include the following:

• Glory AK
• Anubis AK
• From Hell AK
• X-RAY AK
• Midnight Dream AK
• Nightmare AK
• Alien red
• Glorious AK
• Chained Spirits AR
• Daemon Strike
• Glory SAR
• Golden leaf SAP
• Direct threat SAP
• LCD Marine sidearm
• Alien Relic SMG
• Polymer SMG
• Polymer BAR
• Glory BAR
• Frostfire Shotgun
• Polymer Pump

Doors with transparent sections allow you to see through them to check if you are getting door camped and/or if your surroundings are safe before leaving your base without needing to set up any additional windows or in your base. All of the following doors have transparent sections on them:

Wooden Doors:

• Porthole Door
• Door To Heaven
• Suspect Door Of Glory
• Wild Animals Door

Sheet Metal Doors:

• Industrial Door
• Charitable 2021 Door
• Factory Door

Armored Doors:

• Incarceration Armored Door

This Door allows you to see through the openable hatch even when it is closed.

Garage Doors:

• Cargo Truck Garage Door
• Trash Garage Door
• Checkpoint Door
• Defense Garage Door
• Chop Shop Garage Door

• Imp SAR
• iRiskPVP SAR ( Twitch Drop )

Both these SAR skins remove a few extra bits from the SAR’s iron sight allowing for a cleaner view.

• Cargo Heli Crossbow
• Blackout Bow

Both these bow skins feature space in the design of their frame allowing for you to see through them.

Here is a list of items that are Unique and offer competitive advantages outside of the categories already mentioned. However, some of these items often require ownership or a specific skin.

Frontier base decor pack DLC

• Storage Barrels

There are 2 variants of storage barrels and one of them is one of the only forms of vertical storage in the game besides lockers and fridges.

• Rocking chair

This item can be used to boost comfort and heal inside your base.

There are also planters that come in 2 variants of size and the Skinning Knife Tool which can be good for harvesting animals and can produce trophies that can be mounted on Hunting Trophies that can then be hung up on a wall. There are a couple more items in the Frontier base decor pack DLC but these are just the items that offer advantages.

• Frog Boots

These give you very good cold and radiation protection without the need of a workbench.

• Headset

This is a twitch drop item, which gives you the same bullet protection as the boonie hat plus bandana combo but for 5 less cloth and can be paired with the bandana.

• Surgeon Scrubs
• Ninja Suit

These are both unique items however have the exact same stats as the bone armor. Surgeon scrubs and ninja suit have 25% projectile protection from head to toe instead of just your chest to your toes like the bone armor. However, the Ninja Suit is from a Twitch drop

• Clatter Helmet

This is effectively a bucket helmet but doesn’t require a blueprint to craft and can be worn in combination with the bandana for extra protection. However, one downside is that it shoots flames out the top so kinda glows in the dark so watch out at night time. This item is unlocked by logging 30m of the Clatter Game on Steam which is now free.

• Snowman helmet

The snowman helmet gives quite a lot of protection. However you can’t equip it with a bandana, it should be noted that the Dracula mask is the same but does cost a little bit more.

• Rabbit mask
• Tiger mask
• Ox mask
• Rat mask
• Dragon mask

These are all skins for the wolf headdress and can be paired with the bandana for added protection.

SunBurn Pack DLC

• Beach Towels

These function exactly the same as a sleeping bag and have the same cost, but they are smaller and come by default with many colors that can blend into different areas.

• Boogie Board

Lets you move faster in water without needing to buy a boat or kayak and is very cheap to craft. It also keeps you dry so you can swim through arctic waters without needing to pause.

• Water Pistol and Soaker

Both these guns can shoot out water to put out flames if you’re getting Molotov raided. Additionally shooting players with the water gun while in the arctic biome can cause players to die if they aren’t able to get dry fast enough.

• Sunbathing chair

Lets you allows you to peek over windows where you can see the enemy and the enemy can’t see you which is really good for roof camping.

There are a couple more items in the SunBurn Pack DLC but these are just the items that offer advantages.

• Chinese lantern

This functions the same as a normal lantern but can be placed out of the way as it hangs from the ceiling which is much more convenient and space manageable.

• Skull Spikes

It can be used to light up an area and is very cheap to craft only costing 1 skull and 150 wood.

• Christmas Lights

In a similar vein to glowing skins, these can be placed within a base wherever you like and don’t require electricity. Can be used to mark certain areas or something like a heli landing pad.

• Festive Garlands

The Festive Garlands are basically the same as the holiday lights but much cheaper and don’t require electricity or low-grade.

• Twitch Rivals Trophy

This is a little placeable trophy from the Twitch Rivals event which gave you 100 comfort but has now been nerfed recently down to 70%

• Garry’s Mod Tool Gun

Like a normal hammer but can repair and upgrade from further away, could be used during raid defense potentially. A special gift to owners of Garry’s Mod that played 30m Celebrating 15 years!

• Snow Machine

This item allows you to hide land mines underneath the snow that it makes which makes for pretty cool basic base protection to catch people off guard.

• Fogger-3000

This item has a motion sensor on it which you can place outside your base and this is quite good if you have issues with door campers because it makes a loud noise if someone triggers it alerting you that someone is outside your base.

• Cursed Cauldron

This is quite good to place on top of your campfire when cooking food and can be used as a slight jump up to areas in your base.

Voice props Pack DLC
There are only 2 key things in this DLC which can offer an advantage which are:

• Laser lights

This can placed in your base and used in a creative way to disguise your auto turret’s laser.

• Cell Phone

There is a regular telephone in the base game each phone has a unique number and then you can store those numbers inside of the cell phone. This is good because if you ally with someone you can give them your cell phone and then contact them instead of doing it through in-game chat.

• Pattern sofa

Boosts comfort just like the rocking chair allowing you to regenerate health faster in base once you respawn.

• Industrial lights

Unlike the lights in the base game the industrial lights only use 1 power instead of 2 however you can’t use them to grow plants but it is really good overall for lighting up your base.

• Hobo Barrel

It’s a twitch drop but if someone has it just works Like a normal campfire, can be used as a jump-up instead of a furnace if you haven’t collected the low grade yet.

Thank you for taking the time to read my guide, I think I covered each item in Rust which gives “p2w” advantages. If I have missed anything or you think any other items should to be on this list, let me know and I will update it. I will also update it whenever new items come out.
