Dropped and left on the ground, the Red Keycard is gone after 1 hour.
In Rust, Red Keycard is a event item and key in the Misc category (item ID #-1880870149, console shortname keycard_red). In active play, it follows standard server rules for event item and key gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
A keycard with advanced clearance, grants access to top level areas.
In Rust, Red Keycard has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades read from the Rust game files. Monument recyclers do not break this item down into raw components, while it serves its dedicated role inside the Misc catalog. Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When comparing Red Keycard against related misc in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Keycard | Misc | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Blue Keycard | Misc | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Green Keycard | Misc | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Apartment Key | Misc | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Red Keycard cannot be shredded inside a monument green recycler (50% base efficiency) or a safe-zone yellow recycler (40% base efficiency) in Rust. No published item recycles into it across the 50 Misc entries either, and dropped copies despawn after 1 hour (item ID -1880870149).
The Red Keycard carries a maximum condition pool of 2 in Rust, but its durability cannot be restored once worn. Once it reaches 0 condition through active use, it must be replaced (item ID -1880870149, shortname keycard_red). It belongs to the Misc category in Rust.
The Red Keycard is limited to 1 unit per slot in Rust, so each copy takes its own slot in a 24-slot player inventory, 6-slot belt, or 48-slot large wood box. Across 50 Misc entries, it carries ID -1880870149 and despawns after 1 hour.
The Red Keycard remains on the ground for 1 hour (3,600 seconds) before despawning on a default Rust server. Picking it back up into an inventory (up to 1 per slot) or storage box resets that timer under the Misc category (item ID -1880870149).
The Red Keycard has 32-bit signed item ID -1880870149 and shortname keycard_red in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Misc category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Red Keycard in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give keycard_red 1 or inventory.giveid -1880870149 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands work only on dedicated or local worlds where your Steam account holds administrator or moderator privileges.
