Cannon

Deployable, Common, Blueprint

The Cannon has 1,000 health once placed, and a Research Table turns it into a blueprint for 15 scrap.

Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.

The Cannon breaks down into Metal Fragments and Wood.

A recycler takes one at a time.

Cannon stats, mechanics, and overview in Rust

In Rust, Cannon is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-34498533, console shortname cannon). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

A heavy mountable cannon for your boat with a short fuse. Questionable accuracy but high damage.

  • Blueprint unlock savings (game files): Research Table study (15 scrap) saves 210 scrap (93% less) vs the 225-scrap tech tree branch
  • 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 20 Wood and 40 Metal Fragments (zero rare bodies) while capping max condition by 20%
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname cannon to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Cannon crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Cannon in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 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.

Where it sits

The Cannon has 1,000 health, as does the Christmas Tree.

How Cannon compares to related deployables in Rust

When choosing between Cannon and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 225-scrap tech tree path and save 210 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

Frequently asked questions about Cannon in Rust

How much health does the Cannon have in Rust?

The Cannon has 1,000 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -34498533 across 168 deployables, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid -34498533 1 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 -34498533 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.

How do you get the Cannon in Rust?

The Cannon is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 100 Wood and 200 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.

What does the Cannon recycle into in Rust?

The Cannon recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 100 Metal Fragments and 50 Wood. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.

How long does the Cannon take to craft in Rust?

The Cannon takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -34498533 across 168 deployables and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -34498533 1.

How much does it cost to repair the Cannon in Rust?

A repair bench fixes the Cannon from broken for 20 Wood and 40 Metal Fragments in Rust. Repairing at a Repair Bench requires no learned blueprint or rare component body, scaling material cost to missing durability while permanently capping maximum condition by 20% across a full repair.

How much scrap is the Cannon on the Rust tech tree?

Blueprint progression for Cannon at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 225 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -34498533 across 168 deployables.

How long does a dropped Cannon take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Cannon despawns after 5 minutes by default. Moving it into a storage box, locker, or player inventory immediately cancels the ground despawn countdown, which the server assigns by item rarity tier to prevent dropped loot from lagging active worlds.

What is the item ID for the Cannon in Rust?

The Cannon has 32-bit signed item ID -34498533 and shortname cannon in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Deployables category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).

What is the give command for the Cannon in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Cannon in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give cannon 1 or inventory.giveid -34498533 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.
