Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
| Weapon | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Blow Pipe | 60, 12 pellets of 5 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 20 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. 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 Scatter Dart, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Jungle Crate | 42.1% | 5 to 33 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the Scatter Dart gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 + 75% Stones, 9 + 38% Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 3 Stones, 7 + 50% Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 2 + 50% Stones, 6 + 25% Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 2 Stones, 5 Wood |

A recycler takes 7 per cycle, so a full stack of 64 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Scatter Dart is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #2036395619, console shortname dart.scatter).

A spread shot dart that fires multiple smaller darts.
Crafting Scatter Dart in Rust takes 3 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once learned for 30 scrap at a Research Table, 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 Scatter Dart is fired by one weapon, the Blow Pipe.
The Scatter Dart loads into the Blow Pipe, as do the Incapacitate Dart, the Radiation Dart and the Wood Dart.
When comparing Scatter Dart against related ammunition in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (3 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
