What the Propane Explosive Bomb gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Empty Propane Tank, 337 + 50% Gun Powder, 15 Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Empty Propane Tank, 270 Gun Powder, 12 Low Grade Fuel |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Empty Propane Tank, 225 Gun Powder, 10 Low Grade Fuel |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Empty Propane Tank, 180 Gun Powder, 8 Low Grade Fuel |
The Propane Explosive Bomb breaks down into Empty Propane Tank, Gun Powder and Low Grade Fuel.
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. “337 + 50%” means 337 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Propane Explosive Bomb is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #-1827561369, console shortname catapult.ammo.explosive). 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.
An explosive propane-filled keg, devastating to structures. Can be placed or used as a projectile in a catapult.
Crafting Propane Explosive Bomb 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 Propane Explosive Bomb and related ammunition in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 870-scrap tech tree path and save 840 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
