Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
What it takes to destroy the Flame Turret with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
High Velocity Rocket | 1 | 200 |
F1 Grenade | 5 | 300 |
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 30 | 750 |
Beancan Grenade | 7 | 840 |
Satchel Charge | 2 | 960 |
Timed Explosive Charge | 1 | 2,200 |
Rocket | 2 | 2,800 |
40mm HE Grenade | 8 | Loot only |
Satchel Charge + 11
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 755 sulfur
Rocket + 2
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 1,450 sulfur
Rocket + 1
Satchel Charge, 1,880 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the Flame 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 | 2 | 2,700 Charcoal, 1,800 Sulfur, 200 Metal Fragments, 30 Animal Fat, 20 Scrap, 10 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 2 | 2,700 Charcoal, 1,800 Sulfur, 200 Metal Fragments, 30 Animal Fat, 20 Scrap, 10 Cloth |
Pitchfork Bolt by ballista | 12 | 1,200 Wood, 600 Metal Fragments |
Incendiary Bolt by ballista | 14 | 700 Metal Fragments, 175 Cloth, 105 Animal Fat |
Hammerhead Bolt by ballista | 15 | 1,125 Metal Fragments, 75 High Quality Metal |
Piercer Bolt by ballista | 5 | 375 Metal Fragments, 25 High Quality Metal |
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Flame 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 Flame Turret, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
Metal FragmentsEach 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 Flame Turret gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 1 + 50% Empty Propane Tank, 75% Gears, 150 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 20% Empty Propane Tank, 60% Gears, 120 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 Empty Propane Tank, 50% Gears, 100 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 80% Empty Propane Tank, 40% Gears, 80 Metal Fragments |
The Flame Turret breaks down into Empty Propane Tank, Gears and Metal Fragments.
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. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Flame Turret is a trap and turret in the Traps category (item ID #528668503, console shortname flameturret). Once placed, the structure holds 300 HP and takes at least 200 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
Automated Flame turret. Requires Low Grade Fuel. Sprays flames when triggered.
Crafting Flame Turret in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 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). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
Only two of the 9 traps and turrets have more health than the Flame Turret.
The Flame Turret has 300 health, as does the Shotgun Trap.
When choosing between Flame Turret and related traps in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 465-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flame Turret | Traps | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 465 path | Not recyclable |
| Auto Turret | Electrical | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 120 node / 555 path | Not recyclable |
| Homemade Landmine | Traps | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |
| Snap Trap | Traps | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 210 path | Not recyclable |

To compare Flame Turret against every item in its inventory category, browse All 8 items in Traps, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Workbench Level 1 tech tree, tile by tile.
The Flame Turret (300 health once placed) breaks for at least 200 sulfur using 1 High Velocity Rocket in Rust. The Raid tab on this sheet compares every explosive combination against its 300 health. It belongs to the Traps category under numeric ID 528668503 across 8 traps.
The Flame Turret has 300 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Traps catalog with item ID 528668503 alongside 7 related traps and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server across 8 published Traps entries (7 with crafting blueprints).
The Flame Turret is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 200 Metal Fragments, 2 Empty Propane Tank and 1 Gears, 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 Flame Turret drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Sunken Chest (1.1% chance), Normal Crate (0.44% chance), and Wagon Normal Crate (0.44% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Flame Turret recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Empty Propane Tank, a 50% chance of Gears and 100 Metal Fragments. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Flame Turret repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 164 Metal Fragments at full wear (6 swings). Hammer repairs draw materials straight from your inventory with zero maximum-health penalty, provided the placed object has not taken damage within the last 30 seconds.
Blueprint progression for Flame Turret at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 465 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Flame Turret 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 Flame Turret has 32-bit signed item ID 528668503 and shortname flameturret in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Traps category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Flame Turret in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give flameturret 1 or inventory.giveid 528668503 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.
