In Rust, Bota Bag is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #613961768, console shortname botabag).

Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance

Bota Bag crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust
Crafting Bota Bag 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.
How Bota Bag compares to related deployables in Rust
When comparing Bota Bag against related deployables 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.
