What it takes to destroy the Small Spike 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.

Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Small Spike 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.

Small Spike Trap repair cost

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.

Small Spike Trap crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Small Spike Trap in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, 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.

Where it sits

Most traps and turrets stack to 1; the Small Spike Trap stacks to 5.

How Small Spike Trap compares to related traps in Rust
