What the Smoke Grenade gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 26 + 25% Gun Powder, 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 21 Gun Powder, 30 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 17 + 50% Gun Powder, 25 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 14 Gun Powder, 20 Metal Fragments |
The Smoke Grenade breaks down into Gun Powder and Metal Fragments.
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. “26 + 25%” means 26 every time and a 25% chance of one more.
In Rust, Smoke Grenade is a explosive in the Tools category (item ID #1263920163, console shortname grenade.smoke). In active play, it follows standard server rules for explosive gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
Produces a large cloud of opaque greyish white smoke.
Crafting Smoke Grenade in Rust takes 10 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 30 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
The Smoke Grenade is one of the 9 explosives; Rust classifies it under the Tools inventory category.
When choosing between Smoke Grenade and related tools in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 840-scrap tech tree path and save 810 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smoke Grenade | Tools | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 840 path | Not recyclable |
| Bee Grenade | Weapons | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 75 path | Not recyclable |
| F1 Grenade | Weapons | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 450 path | Not recyclable |
| Beancan Grenade | Weapons | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 450 path | Not recyclable |

The Smoke Grenade costs 70 sulfur once every ingredient is broken down to raw materials in Rust. It belongs to the Tools category under numeric ID 1263920163 across 36 tools and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1263920163 3.
The Smoke Grenade is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 35 Gun Powder and 50 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.
The Smoke Grenade drops from 9 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 Smoke Grenade recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 17 Gun Powder plus a 50% chance of one more and 25 Metal Fragments. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The Smoke Grenade takes 10 seconds to craft, down to 5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Tools catalog with item ID 1263920163 alongside 35 related tools, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1263920163 3 across 36 published Tools entries.
Blueprint progression for Smoke Grenade at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 840 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Smoke Grenade 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 Smoke Grenade has 32-bit signed item ID 1263920163 and shortname grenade.smoke in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Tools category (stack limit 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Smoke Grenade in the F1 developer console with inventory.give grenade.smoke 3 or inventory.giveid 1263920163 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.
