What the Firebomb gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 112 + 50% Gun Powder, 37 + 50% Low Grade Fuel, 1 + 50% Rope |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 90 Gun Powder, 30 Low Grade Fuel, 1 + 20% Rope |
| Green recycler | 50% | 75 Gun Powder, 25 Low Grade Fuel, 1 Rope |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 60 Gun Powder, 20 Low Grade Fuel, 80% Rope |
The Firebomb breaks down into Gun Powder, Low Grade Fuel and Rope.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 4 goes through in 4 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “112 + 50%” means 112 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Firebomb is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #-484006286, console shortname catapult.ammo.incendiary). In active play, it follows standard server rules for ammunition gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 4 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A crude firebomb made of fuel-filled jugs wrapped in a net. Can be placed or used as a projectile in a catapult.
Crafting Firebomb in Rust takes 10 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 30 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When choosing between Firebomb and related ammunition in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 690-scrap tech tree path and save 660 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firebomb | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 690 path | Not recyclable |
| Scattershot | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 660 path | Not recyclable |
| Bee Catapult Bomb | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 690 path | Not recyclable |
| Propane Explosive Bomb | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 870 path | Not recyclable |

The Firebomb costs 300 sulfur once every ingredient is broken down to raw materials in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -484006286 across 44 ammunition and despawns after 20 minutes (1,200 seconds) when left on the ground on default servers.
The Firebomb is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 150 Gun Powder, 50 Low Grade Fuel and 2 Rope, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Rope must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Firebomb recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 75 Gun Powder, 25 Low Grade Fuel and 1 Rope. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
The Firebomb takes 10 seconds to craft, down to 5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -484006286 across 44 ammunition and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -484006286 4.
Blueprint progression for Firebomb at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 690 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -484006286 across 44 ammunition.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Firebomb despawns after 20 minutes by default. Moving it into a storage box, locker, or player inventory immediately cancels the ground despawn countdown, which the server assigns by item rarity tier to prevent dropped loot from lagging active worlds.
The Firebomb stacks to 4 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 20 minutes under the Ammunition category (item ID -484006286).
The Firebomb has 32-bit signed item ID -484006286 and shortname catapult.ammo.incendiary in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Ammunition category (stack limit 4 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Firebomb in the F1 developer console with inventory.give catapult.ammo.incendiary 4 or inventory.giveid -484006286 4 for 4 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
