Researching the blueprint costs 60 scrap at a Research Table.
What it takes to destroy the Ladder Hatch with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 63 | 1,575 |
Satchel Charge | 4 | 1,920 |
Timed Explosive Charge | 1 | 2,200 |
High Velocity Rocket | 11 | 2,200 |
Beancan Grenade | 21 | 2,520 |
Rocket | 2 | 2,800 |
40mm HE Grenade | 9 | Loot only |
Rocket + 8
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 1,600 sulfur
Satchel Charge + 45
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 1,605 sulfur
Rocket + 1
Satchel Charge, 1,880 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the Ladder Hatch with one siege weapon alone, each paid in what its own recipe asks: metal and fuel for the ram, sulfur and the rest for a propane bomb.
| Siege weapon | Needed | Costs |
|---|---|---|
Propane Explosive Bomb by catapult | 2 | 2,700 Charcoal, 1,800 Sulfur, 200 Metal Fragments, 30 Animal Fat, 20 Scrap, 10 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 2 | 2,700 Charcoal, 1,800 Sulfur, 200 Metal Fragments, 30 Animal Fat, 20 Scrap, 10 Cloth |
Hammerhead Bolt by ballista | 13 | 975 Metal Fragments, 65 High Quality Metal |
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Ladder Hatch and Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo fired from an Assault Rifle.
A Satchel Charge fails to go off 20% of the time and a Beancan Grenade 15%, so carry spares.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Ladder Hatch, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Bradley Crate, 3 crates per Bradley APC | 29% | 1 |
 Locked Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Elite Crate | 0.78% | 1 to 3 |
| Scientist PT Boat Dry Box | 0.73% | 1 to 3 |
 Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Underwater Lab Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Wagon Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
Missile Silo Scientist (underground) | 0.3% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.074% | 1 |
Heavy Scientist | 0.061% | 1 |
 Treasure Box, mission reward | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Gingerbread Mine Present, Christmas event only | 0.42% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
Metal Fragments,
Wood
Metal Fragments,
WoodA repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the Ladder Hatch gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25% Gears, 225 Metal Fragments, 75% Wooden Ladder |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% Gears, 180 Metal Fragments, 60% Wooden Ladder |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 50% Gears, 150 Metal Fragments, 50% Wooden Ladder |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% Gears, 120 Metal Fragments, 40% Wooden Ladder |
The Ladder Hatch breaks down into Gears, Metal Fragments and Wooden Ladder.
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. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
On the Steam Market, the 2 skins for the Ladder Hatch sell for $2.31 at the cheapest and $3.92 at the dearest.
In Rust, Ladder Hatch is a door and hatch in the Construction category (item ID #1948067030, console shortname floor.ladder.hatch). Once placed, the structure holds 250 HP and takes at least 1,575 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
A hatch that opens and changes into a ladder.
Crafting Ladder Hatch in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
The Ladder Hatch has 250 health, as do the Sheet Metal Double Door, the Sheet Metal Door and the Triangle Ladder Hatch.
When choosing between Ladder Hatch and related construction in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 300-scrap tech tree path and save 240 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ladder Hatch | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 300 path | Not recyclable |
| Armored Ladder Hatch | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 3 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |
| Armored Triangle Ladder Hatch | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 3 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |
| Prison Cell Gate | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 180 path | Not recyclable |

The Ladder Hatch (250 health once placed) breaks for at least 1,575 sulfur using 63 Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo in Rust. The Raid tab on this sheet compares every explosive combination against its 250 health. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 1948067030 across 61 construction.
The Ladder Hatch has 250 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Construction catalog with item ID 1948067030 alongside 60 related construction and despawns after 40 minutes when dropped on a default server across 61 published Construction entries (56 with crafting blueprints).
The Ladder Hatch is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 1 Wooden Ladder, 300 Metal Fragments and 3 Gears, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Smelting raw ores and looting required components from monument crates lets players queue the craft at their workbench.
The Ladder Hatch drops from 10 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Bradley Crate (29% chance), Locked Crate (1.3% chance), and Elite Crate (0.78% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Ladder Hatch recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Gears plus a 50% chance of one more, 150 Metal Fragments and a 50% chance of a Wooden Ladder. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 1948067030 across 61 construction.
A repair bench fixes the Ladder Hatch from broken for 75 Metal Fragments and 60 Wood, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in five swings for 166 Metal Fragments and 150 Wood in Rust.
Blueprint progression for Ladder Hatch at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 300 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Ladder Hatch 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 Ladder Hatch has 32-bit signed item ID 1948067030 and shortname floor.ladder.hatch in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Construction category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Ladder Hatch in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give floor.ladder.hatch 1 or inventory.giveid 1948067030 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.
