Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
What Scattershot gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 150 Stones |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 120 Stones |
| Green recycler | 50% | 100 Stones |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 80 Stones |
Scattershot breaks down into Stones.
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.
In Rust, Scattershot is a ammunition in the Ammunition category (item ID #1831249347, console shortname catapult.ammo.boulder). 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 cluster of heavy rock projectiles for a catapult. Wide spread, pure kinetic damage on impact.
Crafting Scattershot in Rust takes 5 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 Scattershot and related ammunition in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 660-scrap tech tree path and save 630 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Firebomb | Ammunition | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 690 path | Not recyclable |

Scattershot is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 200 Stones, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
Scattershot recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 100 Stones. It sits in the Ammunition catalog with item ID 1831249347 alongside 43 related ammunition and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1831249347 4.
Scattershot 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 1831249347), with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1831249347 4 across 44 published Ammunition entries.
Blueprint progression for Scattershot at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 660 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 1831249347 across 44 ammunition.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, Scattershot 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.
Scattershot 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 1831249347).
Scattershot has 32-bit signed item ID 1831249347 and shortname catapult.ammo.boulder 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 Scattershot in the F1 developer console with inventory.give catapult.ammo.boulder 4 or inventory.giveid 1831249347 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.
