Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
What it takes to destroy the Snap Trap with one explosive alone, cheapest first.
| Explosive | Needed | Sulfur |
|---|---|---|
F1 Grenade | 1 | 60 |
Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo | 4 | 100 |
High Velocity Rocket | 1 | 200 |
Beancan Grenade | 2 | 240 |
Satchel Charge | 1 | 480 |
Rocket | 1 | 1,400 |
Timed Explosive Charge | 1 | 2,200 |
40mm HE Grenade | 3 | Loot only |
What it takes to destroy the Snap 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 | 1 | 1,350 Charcoal, 900 Sulfur, 100 Metal Fragments, 15 Animal Fat, 10 Scrap, 5 Cloth |
|
Propane Explosive Bomb placed by hand | 1 | 1,350 Charcoal, 900 Sulfur, 100 Metal Fragments, 15 Animal Fat, 10 Scrap, 5 Cloth |
Pitchfork Bolt by ballista | 2 | 200 Wood, 100 Metal Fragments |
Incendiary Bolt by ballista | 2 | 100 Metal Fragments, 25 Cloth, 15 Animal Fat |
Hammerhead Bolt by ballista | 4 | 300 Metal Fragments, 20 High Quality Metal |
Piercer Bolt by ballista | 2 | 150 Metal Fragments, 10 High Quality Metal |
Every count starts from full health, with the Timed Explosive Charge and the Satchel Charge stuck on the Snap 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 Snap 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.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
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 Snap Trap gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Gears, 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Gears, 30 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Gears, 25 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Gears, 20 Metal Fragments |
The Snap Trap breaks down into Gears 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. “37 + 50%” means 37 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Snap Trap is a trap and turret in the Traps category (item ID #-582782051, console shortname trap.bear). Once placed, the structure holds 200 HP and takes at least 60 sulfur to breach. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A metal trap that can injure or even kill people when stepped on. Can be picked up after been triggered.
Crafting Snap Trap 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). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
Most traps and turrets stack to 1; the Snap Trap stacks to 3.
When choosing between Snap Trap and related traps in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 210-scrap tech tree path and save 180 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Shotgun Trap | Traps | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 60 node / 465 path | Not recyclable |
| Homemade Landmine | Traps | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 360 path | Not recyclable |

The Snap Trap (200 health once placed) breaks for at least 60 sulfur using 1 F1 Grenade in Rust. The Raid tab on this sheet compares every explosive combination against its 200 health. It belongs to the Traps category under numeric ID -582782051 across 8 traps.
The Snap Trap has 200 health once placed in Rust. It sits in the Traps catalog with item ID -582782051 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 Snap Trap is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 50 Metal Fragments and 1 Gears, 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 Snap 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 Snap Trap recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of Gears and 25 Metal Fragments. 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 Snap Trap from broken for 15 Metal Fragments, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in four swings for 38 Metal Fragments in Rust. Bench repairs require no blueprint and reduce maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Blueprint progression for Snap Trap at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 210 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Snap Trap 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 Snap Trap has 32-bit signed item ID -582782051 and shortname trap.bear 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 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Snap Trap in the F1 developer console with inventory.give trap.bear 3 or inventory.giveid -582782051 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.
