The SAM Site has 1,000 health, and 13 hammer swings bring it from broken back to full.
What it takes to destroy the SAM Site with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
F1 Grenade | 20 | 1,200 |
Satchel Charge | 4 | 1,920 |
Beancan Grenade | 16 | 1,920 |
Timed Explosive Charge | 2 | 4,400 |
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 200 | 5,000 |
Rocket | 4 | 5,600 |
High Velocity Rocket | 34 | 6,800 |
40mm HE Grenade | 16 | Loot only |
Satchel Charge + 35
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 2,315 sulfur
Rocket + 3
Satchel Charge, 2,840 sulfur
Rocket + 2
Satchel Charge + 28
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 3,060 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the SAM Site 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 |
|---|---|---|
Battering Ram | 8 hits | at least 4 Low Grade Fuel |
Propane Explosive Bomb by catapult | 4 | 5,400 Charcoal, 3,600 Sulfur, 400 Metal Fragments, 60 Animal Fat, 40 Scrap, 20 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 6 | 8,100 Charcoal, 5,400 Sulfur, 600 Metal Fragments, 90 Animal Fat, 60 Scrap, 30 Cloth |
Incendiary Bolt by ballista | 41 | 2,050 Metal Fragments, 513 Cloth, 308 Animal Fat |
A battering ram head is worn out after 9 hits, and one hammer swing on it costs 16 High Quality Metal and gives it 3 more. The ram strikes once every 4.5 seconds with its engine running, which burns at least 0.1 Low Grade Fuel a second.
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the SAM Site 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.
A repair bench charges 20% of the item’s recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn.
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 SAM Site gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 37 + 50%  High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 30 High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler | 50% | 25 High Quality Metal |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 20 High Quality Metal |
The SAM Site breaks down into High Quality Metal.
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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more.
In Rust, SAM Site is a trap and turret in the Traps category (item ID #-1009359066, console shortname samsite). Once placed, the structure holds 1,000 HP and takes at least 1,200 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
A surface to air rocket site. Requires 25 electricity to function.
In Rust, SAM Site has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on map collection, smelting, or vendor trades 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.
The SAM Site has the most health of the 9 traps and turrets, tied with the Auto Turret at 1,000.
When comparing SAM Site against related traps 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAM Site | Traps | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |
| Small Spike Trap | Traps | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | 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 |

The SAM Site (1,000 health once placed) breaks for at least 1,200 sulfur using 20 F1 Grenade in Rust. The Raid tab on this sheet compares every explosive combination against its 1,000 health. It belongs to the Traps category under numeric ID -1009359066 across 8 traps.
The SAM Site has 1,000 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Traps catalog with item ID -1009359066 alongside 7 related traps, while server administrators can spawn it directly in the F1 console using inventory.giveid -1009359066 1 across 8 published Traps entries.
The SAM Site recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 25 High Quality Metal. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
A repair bench fixes the SAM Site from broken for 10 High Quality Metal, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in 13 swings for 25 High Quality Metal in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the SAM Site despawns after 1 hour 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 SAM Site has 32-bit signed item ID -1009359066 and shortname samsite 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 SAM Site in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give samsite 1 or inventory.giveid -1009359066 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.
