Workbench Level 2, 25s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 12.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Tesla Coil, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 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 |
 Normal Crate | 0.14% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.14% | 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.
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 Tesla Coil gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 2 + 25% High Quality Metal, 75% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 80% High Quality Metal, 60% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 + 50% High Quality Metal, 50% Tech Trash |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 1 + 20% High Quality Metal, 40% Tech Trash |
The Tesla Coil breaks down into High Quality Metal and Tech Trash.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.
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.
In Rust, Tesla Coil is a electrical in the Electrical category (item ID #1371909803, console shortname electric.teslacoil). In active play, it follows standard server rules for electrical gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
An electrical trap that zaps nearby players when powered. More power supplied will result in higher damage. Loses durability with use.
Crafting Tesla Coil in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 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.
When choosing between Tesla Coil and related electrical in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 345-scrap tech tree path and save 330 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Coil | Electrical | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 15 node / 345 path | Not recyclable |
| Large Rechargeable Battery | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 435 path | Not recyclable |
| Large Solar Panel | Electrical | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 105 path | Not recyclable |
| Smart Switch | Electrical | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 15 node / 285 path | Not recyclable |
Compare Tesla Coil with closely related electrical sheets in the Rust item catalog:
To compare Tesla Coil 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 Tesla Coil has 250 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 1371909803 across 83 electrical, while F1 console command inventory.giveid 1371909803 3 spawns 3 units for testing across 83 published Electrical entries (79 with crafting blueprints).
The Tesla Coil is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 3 High Quality Metal and 1 Tech Trash, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Tech Trash must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Tesla Coil drops from 11 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (1.3% chance), Elite Crate (0.78% chance), and Scientist PT Boat Dry Box (0.73% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Tesla Coil recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more and a 50% chance of a Tech Trash. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Tesla Coil takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Electrical catalog with item ID 1371909803 alongside 82 related electrical, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1371909803 3 across 83 published Electrical entries.
A repair bench fixes the Tesla Coil from broken for 1 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in three swings for 4 High Quality Metal in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Tesla Coil at Engineering Workbench in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 345 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Electrical category under numeric ID 1371909803 across 83 electrical.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Tesla Coil despawns after 5 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 Tesla Coil has 32-bit signed item ID 1371909803 and shortname electric.teslacoil 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 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Tesla Coil in the F1 developer console with inventory.give electric.teslacoil 3 or inventory.giveid 1371909803 3 for 3 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
