Type a few letters of a name: an item, a skin, a monument, a CCTV code, an animal or a tool. Player names work too, like AK, C4 or HQM.

The Workbench Level 2 opens 90 blueprints for 4,110 scrap in all, and an experiment at it costs 300 scrap.
What one batch takes.

High Quality Metal
Basic Blueprint Fragment

Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
Metal Fragments,
High Quality MetalA 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 Workbench Level 2 gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 3 + 75% Basic Blueprint Fragment, 15 High Quality Metal, 375 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 3 Basic Blueprint Fragment, 12 High Quality Metal, 300 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 2 + 50% Basic Blueprint Fragment, 10 High Quality Metal, 250 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 2 Basic Blueprint Fragment, 8 High Quality Metal, 200 Metal Fragments |
The Workbench Level 2 breaks down into Basic Blueprint Fragment, High Quality Metal and Metal Fragments.
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. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Workbench Level 2 is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-41896755, console shortname workbench2). 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 20 minutes.
This allows you to craft and unlock items requiring workbench level 2.
Crafting Workbench Level 2 in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1, 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.
When comparing Workbench Level 2 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workbench Level 2 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Workbench Level 1 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Workbench Level 3 | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Hitch & Trough | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
Compare Workbench Level 2 with closely related deployable sheets in the Rust item catalog:
To compare Workbench Level 2 against every item in its inventory category, browse All 168 items in Deployables.
The Workbench Level 2 has 500 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -41896755 across 168 deployables and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Workbench Level 2 is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 500 Metal Fragments, 20 High Quality Metal and 5 Basic Blueprint Fragment in Rust. Non-craftable components like Basic Blueprint Fragment must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Workbench Level 2 opens the Workbench Level 2 tech tree when placed in a base in Rust, covering 90 craftable items for 4,110 scrap from first node to last. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID -41896755 alongside 167 related deployables.
The Workbench Level 2 runs random blueprint experiments in Rust for 300 scrap per roll, picking an unlearned recipe from its workbench tier at random. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -41896755 across 168 deployables, stacking to 1 unit per slot.
The Workbench Level 2 recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 2 Basic Blueprint Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more, 10 High Quality Metal and 250 Metal Fragments. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -41896755 across 168 deployables.
A repair bench fixes the Workbench Level 2 from broken for 100 Metal Fragments and 4 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in ten swings for 245 Metal Fragments and 15 High Quality Metal in Rust.
Every player starts with the Workbench Level 2 blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -41896755 across 168 deployables across 168 published Deployables entries.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Workbench Level 2 despawns after 20 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 Workbench Level 2 has 32-bit signed item ID -41896755 and shortname workbench2 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).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Workbench Level 2 in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give workbench2 1 or inventory.giveid -41896755 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.
