Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1

Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.

The Megaphone blueprint comes with the Voice Props Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.

The Megaphone breaks down into Metal Fragments and Wood.

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. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more.

In Rust, Megaphone is a fun and decoration in the Fun category (item ID #-583379016, console shortname megaphone). In active play, it follows standard server rules for fun and decoration gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.

  • Acquisition profile (game files): Uncraftable in vanilla Rust (0 loot tables, 0 downstream recipes)
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Maintenance rule: Carries no condition wear bar and needs no bench maintenance
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname megaphone to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Megaphone crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Megaphone 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.

How Megaphone compares to related fun in Rust

When comparing Megaphone against related fun 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.

Frequently asked questions about Megaphone in Rust

How do you get the Megaphone in Rust?

What does the Megaphone recycle into in Rust?

The Megaphone recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more and 25 Wood. Full recycler yields apply to an undamaged copy, while partially worn gear returns proportionally fewer materials based on its remaining durability bar.

How long does the Megaphone take to craft in Rust?

The Megaphone takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It is indexed under the Fun category alongside 62 other fun in Rust (item ID -583379016) and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.

How much scrap does it take to research the Megaphone in Rust?

The Megaphone blueprint comes with the Voice Props Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it in Rust. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table. It sits in the Fun catalog with item ID -583379016 alongside 62 related fun.

How long does the Megaphone take to despawn in Rust?

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Megaphone 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 Megaphone in Rust?

The Megaphone has 32-bit signed item ID -583379016 and shortname megaphone in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Fun category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).

What is the give command for the Megaphone in Rust?

Server administrators in Rust spawn the Megaphone in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give megaphone 1 or inventory.giveid -583379016 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.
