What it takes to destroy the Shotgun Trap 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 |

Rocket + 1
Satchel Charge, 1,880 sulfurWhat it takes to destroy the Shotgun Trap 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 Shotgun Trap 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 Shotgun Trap, 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.

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 Shotgun Trap gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 1 + 50% Gears, 187 + 50% Metal Fragments, 1 + 50% Rope, 375 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 20% Gears, 150 Metal Fragments, 1 + 20% Rope, 300 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 Gears, 125 Metal Fragments, 1 Rope, 250 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 80% Gears, 100 Metal Fragments, 80% Rope, 200 Wood |
The Shotgun Trap breaks down into Gears, Metal Fragments, Rope 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. “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, Shotgun Trap is a trap and turret in the Traps category (item ID #352499047, console shortname guntrap). 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 40 minutes.
A shotgun trap triggered by movement, place near doorways and load with handmade shells.
Crafting Shotgun Trap in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 60 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
Only two of the 9 traps and turrets have more health than the Shotgun Trap.
The Shotgun Trap has 300 health, as does the Flame Turret.
When choosing between Shotgun Trap and related traps in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 465-scrap tech tree path and save 405 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shotgun Trap | Traps | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 60 node / 465 path | Not recyclable |
| Snap Trap | Traps | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 210 path | Not recyclable |
| Small Spike Trap | Traps | 5 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Tin Can Alarm | Traps | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 240 path | Not recyclable |

The Shotgun Trap (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 352499047 across 8 traps.
The Shotgun Trap has 300 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Traps catalog with item ID 352499047 alongside 7 related traps and despawns after 40 minutes when dropped on a default server across 8 published Traps entries (7 with crafting blueprints).
The Shotgun Trap is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 500 Wood, 250 Metal Fragments, 2 Gears and 2 Rope, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Rope must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Shotgun Trap 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 Shotgun Trap recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Gears, 125 Metal Fragments, 1 Rope and 250 Wood. Full material recovery applies to an undamaged copy, whereas worn items return proportionally fewer resources based on their remaining condition bar when shredded.
A repair bench fixes the Shotgun Trap from broken for 100 Wood, 60 Metal Fragments and 12 Cloth, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in six swings for 248 Wood, 137 Metal Fragments and 18 Cloth in Rust.
Blueprint progression for Shotgun Trap at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 465 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Shotgun Trap despawns after 40 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 Shotgun Trap has 32-bit signed item ID 352499047 and shortname guntrap 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 Shotgun Trap in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give guntrap 1 or inventory.giveid 352499047 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.
