Workbench Level 2, 5s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 2.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 60 scrap at a Research Table.
| Weapon | Damage | On a player | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Rocket Launcher | 480, 3.5 m blast | 180 | 40 m/s | 29 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the High Velocity Rocket, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Bradley Crate, 3 crates per Bradley APC | 18.9% | 3 to 6 |
 Helicopter Crate, 4 crates per Patrol Helicopter | 15% | 3 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the High Velocity Rocket gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75 Gun Powder, 75% Metal Pipe |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60 Gun Powder, 60% Metal Pipe |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50 Gun Powder, 50% Metal Pipe |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40 Gun Powder, 40% Metal Pipe |
The High Velocity Rocket breaks down into Gun Powder and Metal Pipe.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. A percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, High Velocity Rocket is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #-1841918730, console shortname ammo.rocket.hv). This ammunition loads into 1 distinct weapon platforms across standard server combat. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
Fast moving rocket ammunition. Short to medium range self-propelled, unguided rocket which deals large splash damage on impact but less damage than a normal rocket.
Crafting High Velocity Rocket in Rust takes 5 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 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.
The High Velocity Rocket is fired by one weapon, the Rocket Launcher.
The High Velocity Rocket loads into the Rocket Launcher, as do the Rocket and the Incendiary Rocket.
When choosing between High Velocity Rocket and related ammunition in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 1,170-scrap tech tree path and save 1,110 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Velocity Rocket | Ammunition | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 1,170 path | Not recyclable |
| Smoke Rocket WIP!!!! | Ammunition | 3 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| SAM Ammo | Ammunition | 1,000 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 1,140 path | Not recyclable |
| Homing Missile | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 1,110 path | Not recyclable |

Only one weapon fires the High Velocity Rocket: the Rocket Launcher in Rust. It belongs to the Ammunition category under numeric ID -1841918730 across 44 ammunition and despawns after 1 hour when dropped on a default server, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1841918730 3.
The High Velocity Rocket costs 200 sulfur once every ingredient is broken down to raw materials in Rust. It sits in the Ammunition catalog with item ID -1841918730 alongside 43 related ammunition, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1841918730 3 across 44 published Ammunition entries.
The High Velocity Rocket is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 1 Metal Pipe and 100 Gun Powder, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The High Velocity Rocket drops from 2 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Bradley Crate (18.9% chance) and Helicopter Crate (15% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The High Velocity Rocket recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 50 Gun Powder and a 50% chance of a Metal Pipe. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The High Velocity Rocket takes 5 seconds to craft, down to 2.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It is indexed under the Ammunition category alongside 43 other ammunition in Rust (item ID -1841918730) across 44 published Ammunition entries (39 with crafting blueprints).
Blueprint progression for High Velocity Rocket at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 1,170 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the High Velocity Rocket despawns after 1 hour by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The High Velocity Rocket has 32-bit signed item ID -1841918730 and shortname ammo.rocket.hv 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 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the High Velocity Rocket in the F1 developer console with inventory.give ammo.rocket.hv 3 or inventory.giveid -1841918730 3 for 3 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
