Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1

Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
| Ammo | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Incapacitate Dart | 15 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 5 |
Radiation Dart | 20 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 7 |
Scatter Dart | 60, 12 pellets of 5 | ×1.5 | 55 m/s | 20 |

Wood Dart | 50 | ×1.5 | 75 m/s | 17 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Blow Pipe, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
 Jungle Crate | 33% | 1 | 20 to 50% |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any. Condition is the state the item comes out in.

High Quality MetalA 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.
What the Blow Pipe gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 7 + 50% Cloth, 75% Metal Pipe, 150 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 6 Cloth, 60% Metal Pipe, 120 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 5 Cloth, 50% Metal Pipe, 100 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 4 Cloth, 40% Metal Pipe, 80 Wood |
The Blow Pipe breaks down into Cloth, Metal Pipe 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. “7 + 50%” means 7 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Blow Pipe is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-851288382, console shortname blowpipe). Loaded with standard Wood Dart, it delivers 50 base impact damage from a single-round chamber in active combat. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A blown weapon that fires darts with different effects.
Crafting Blow Pipe in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once learned for 30 scrap at a Research Table, 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.
When comparing Blow Pipe against related weapons in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
| Weapon | Damage | Fire Rate | Sustained DPS | Workbench / Source | Blueprint (Node / Path) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blow Pipe | 50 dmg | 3s cycle | 16.7 DPS | Workbench Level 1 | 30 scrap (Table) |
| LR-300 Assault Rifle | 40 dmg | 500 RPM | 160.4 DPS | Military crate / Vendor | Uncraftable |
| Semi-Automatic Rifle | 40 dmg | 343 RPM | 91.1 DPS | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 930 path |
| MP5A4 | 37.5 dmg | 600 RPM | 163 DPS | Workbench Level 3 | 120 node / 420 path |

Loaded with standard ammunition, the Blow Pipe deals 50 base damage per hit, firing once every 3 seconds (16.7 sustained DPS) in Rust, dropping to 80% damage past 60 m. Against a fifty-percent projectile-protection Metal Chest Plate, close torso hits deal twenty-five net damage and down a full-health player in four shots.
The Blow Pipe fires Incapacitate Darts, Radiation Darts, Scatter Darts and Wood Darts, reloading after every shot in Rust. Reloading takes 3 seconds (1s draw time), and holding the reload key (R) opens the radial selector to switch ammunition types.
The Blow Pipe is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 200 Wood, 1 Metal Pipe and 10 Cloth, once researched in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.
The Blow Pipe drops from 1 container and NPC loot table in Rust, led by Jungle Crate (33% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Blow Pipe recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 5 Cloth, a 50% chance of a Metal Pipe and 100 Wood. Full recycler yields apply to an undamaged copy, while partially worn gear returns proportionally fewer materials based on its remaining durability bar.
A repair bench fixes the Blow Pipe from broken for 40 Wood, 2 Cloth and 1 High Quality Metal in Rust. Bench repairs require no learned blueprint and scale material cost to the missing durability bar, losing 20% of maximum condition across a full repair.
A Research Table asks 30 scrap for the Blow Pipe blueprint in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -851288382 across 85 weapons and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -851288382 1.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Blow Pipe 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 Blow Pipe has 32-bit signed item ID -851288382 and shortname blowpipe in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Weapons category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Blow Pipe in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give blowpipe 1 or inventory.giveid -851288382 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.
