Put through an unpowered green recycler, the BDU shirt breaks down into 30 Cloth.
These do not land on one part of the body: the game adds up every piece you wear, then keeps a sixth of the total for explosions, bites and heat, and all of it for radiation. Cold is insulation, where 100% is as warm as clothing gets.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the BDU shirt, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Scientist PT Boat Dry Box | 2.8% | 1 to 3 |
 Elite Crate | 1.9% | 1 to 2 |
 Helicopter Crate, 4 crates per Patrol Helicopter | 0.66% | 1 |
Heavy Scientist | 0.24% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
What the BDU shirt gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 45  Cloth |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 36 Cloth |
| Green recycler | 50% | 30 Cloth |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 24 Cloth |
The BDU shirt breaks down into Cloth.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item.
In Rust, BDU shirt is a clothing and armor in the Attire category (item ID #-2127311451, console shortname bdu.shirt). In active play, it follows standard server rules for clothing and armor gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
A standard issue battle dress uniform shirt. Old, worn and stained, but provides moderate protection.
In Rust, BDU shirt has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on 4 world loot tables 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 comparing BDU shirt against related attire in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

The BDU shirt recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 30 Cloth. It sits in the Attire catalog with item ID -2127311451 alongside 132 related attire, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -2127311451 1 across 133 published Attire entries (81 with crafting blueprints).
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the BDU shirt despawns after 40 minutes 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 BDU shirt has no durability bar in Rust and never loses condition in storage or on the belt, so condition never degrades during use. Grouped with 133 attire entries under Attire, it stacks to 1 per slot and despawns in 40 minutes.
The BDU shirt has 32-bit signed item ID -2127311451 and shortname bdu.shirt in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Attire category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the BDU shirt in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give bdu.shirt 1 or inventory.giveid -2127311451 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
