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.

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 5 minutes.
A primitive helmet made from bone. Moderate protection from projectiles and melee damage.
Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
Bench repair & durability cap: Full repair costs 3 Cloth and 6 Bone Fragments (zero rare bodies) while capping max condition by 20%
Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname deer.skull.mask to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes
Bone Helmet crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust
Crafting Bone Helmet in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
How Bone Helmet compares to related attire in Rust
When comparing Bone Helmet against related attire in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 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.

Frequently asked questions about Bone Helmet in Rust
How do you get the Bone Helmet in Rust?
The Bone Helmet is crafted by hand from 15 Cloth and 30 Bone Fragments 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.
What does the Bone Helmet recycle into in Rust?
The Bone Helmet recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 15 Bone Fragments and 7 Cloth plus a 50% chance of one more. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
How long does the Bone Helmet take to craft in Rust?
The Bone Helmet takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Attire category under numeric ID -1903165497 across 133 attire and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
How much scrap does it take to research the Bone Helmet in Rust?
Every player starts with the Bone Helmet blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Attire category under numeric ID -1903165497 across 133 attire, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
How long does the Bone Helmet take to despawn in Rust?
Dropped with nothing attached or inside in Rust, the Bone Helmet despawns after 5 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.
What is the item ID for the Bone Helmet in Rust?
The Bone Helmet has 32-bit signed item ID -1903165497 and shortname deer.skull.mask 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).
What is the give command for the Bone Helmet in Rust?
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Bone Helmet in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give deer.skull.mask 1 or inventory.giveid -1903165497 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
