|---|---|---|
High Velocity Rocket | 3 | 600 |
F1 Grenade | 10 | 600 |
Satchel Charge | 4 | 1,920 |

Rocket + 3
Satchel Charge, 2,840 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the Auto Turret 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 | 4 | 5,400 Charcoal, 3,600 Sulfur, 400 Metal Fragments, 60 Animal Fat, 40 Scrap, 20 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 6 | 8,100 Charcoal, 5,400 Sulfur, 600 Metal Fragments, 90 Animal Fat, 60 Scrap, 30 Cloth |
Pitchfork Bolt by ballista | 39 | 3,900 Wood, 1,950 Metal Fragments |
Incendiary Bolt by ballista | 34 | 1,700 Metal Fragments, 425 Cloth, 255 Animal Fat |
Hammerhead Bolt by ballista | 50 | 3,750 Metal Fragments, 250 High Quality Metal |
Piercer Bolt by ballista | 15 | 1,125 Metal Fragments, 75 High Quality Metal |
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Auto Turret 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 Auto Turret, most likely first

 Treasure Box, mission reward | 3.9% | 1 to 5 |
 Gingerbread Mine Present, Christmas event only | 1.2% | 1 to 2 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
A 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 Auto Turret gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% CCTV Camera, 18 + 75% High Quality Metal, 75% Targeting Computer |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% CCTV Camera, 15 High Quality Metal, 60% Targeting Computer |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% CCTV Camera, 12 + 50% High Quality Metal, 50% Targeting Computer |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% CCTV Camera, 10 High Quality Metal, 40% Targeting Computer |
The Auto Turret breaks down into CCTV Camera, High Quality Metal and Targeting Computer.
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. “18 + 75%” means 18 every time and a 75% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
15 skins on the Steam Market change how the Auto Turret looks, from $0.78 to $3.45, and one more is in the item store this week.
Also listed: 3 Twitch and Kick drops, marked “Drop”. They never reach the market, so they have no price.

In Rust, Auto Turret is a trap and turret in the Electrical category (item ID #-2139580305, console shortname autoturret). Once placed, the structure holds 1,000 HP and takes at least 600 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
This automated electric sentry turret will engage and neutralize any moving targets it has line of sight to. You must equip it with a projectile weapon and the corresponding ammunition. Note: The turret will search for targets in a 180 degree arc facing you when you place it. Requires 10 power.
Crafting Auto Turret in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 120 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 Auto Turret is one of the 9 traps and turrets; Rust classifies it under the Electrical inventory category.
The Auto Turret has the most health of the 9 traps and turrets, tied with the SAM Site at 1,000.
When choosing between Auto Turret and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (120 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 555-scrap tech tree path and save 435 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Turret | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 120 node / 555 path | Not recyclable |
| Flame Turret | Traps | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 465 path | Not recyclable |
| Snap Trap | Traps | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 210 path | Not recyclable |
| Small Spike Trap | Traps | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |

To compare Auto Turret against every item in its inventory category, browse All 83 items in Electrical, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Engineering Workbench tech tree, tile by tile.
The Auto Turret (1,000 health once placed) breaks for at least 600 sulfur using 3 High Velocity Rocket in Rust. The Raid tab on this sheet compares every explosive combination against its 1,000 health. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID -2139580305 across 83 electrical.
The Auto Turret has 1,000 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Electrical catalog with item ID -2139580305 alongside 82 related electrical and despawns after 1 hour when dropped on a default server across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Auto Turret is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 1 Targeting Computer, 1 CCTV Camera and 25 High Quality Metal, 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 Auto Turret drops from 14 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (15.9% chance), Bradley Crate (4.5% chance), and Elite Crate (2.2% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Auto Turret recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of a CCTV Camera, 12 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more and a 50% chance of a Targeting Computer.
A repair bench fixes the Auto Turret from broken for 9 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in 16 swings for 17 High Quality Metal in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Auto Turret at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 120 scrap on the target node and 555 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 120 scrap. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID -2139580305 across 83 electrical.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Auto Turret despawns after 1 hour 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 Auto Turret has 32-bit signed item ID -2139580305 and shortname autoturret in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Electrical category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Auto Turret in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give autoturret 1 or inventory.giveid -2139580305 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.
