Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
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.
What the Hide Vest gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 7 + 50% Leather |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 6 Leather |
| Green recycler | 50% | 5 Leather |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 4 Leather |
The Hide Vest breaks down into Leather.
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. “7 + 50%” means 7 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
8 skins on the Steam Market change how the Hide Vest looks, from $0.55 to $9.92.
Also listed: one Twitch or Kick drop, marked “Drop”. It never reaches the market, so it has no price.
In Rust, Hide Vest is a clothing and armor in the Attire category (item ID #196700171, console shortname attire.hide.vest). 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.
Simple hide vest, made with common materials. Basic all-round protection.
Crafting Hide Vest 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Hide Vest 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.

The Hide Vest 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 196700171 across 133 attire and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
Every player starts with the Hide Vest 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 196700171 across 133 attire, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Hide Vest 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.
The Hide Vest has 32-bit signed item ID 196700171 and shortname attire.hide.vest 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 Hide Vest in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give attire.hide.vest 1 or inventory.giveid 196700171 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.
