In Rust, Extended Magazine is a weapon attachment in the Weapons category (item ID #2005491391, console shortname weapon.mod.extendedmags). Weapon modding mounts this magazine attachment across 15 compatible ranged weapons. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
Larger magazine size.
Crafting Extended Magazine in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
When choosing between Extended Magazine and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 990-scrap tech tree path and save 930 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extended Magazine | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 990 path | Not recyclable |
| Weapon Lasersight | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 3 | 60 node / 180 path | Not recyclable |
| Weapon flashlight | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 435 path | Not recyclable |
| Targeting Attachment | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 1,050 path | Not recyclable |

The Extended Magazine is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 10 High Quality Metal, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The Extended Magazine drops from 11 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Bradley Crate (50% chance), Locked Crate (26% chance), and Helicopter Crate (7.5% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Extended Magazine recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 5 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.
The Extended Magazine takes 25 seconds to craft, down to 12.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Weapons catalog with item ID 2005491391 alongside 84 related weapons, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 2005491391 1 across 85 published Weapons entries.
Blueprint progression for Extended Magazine at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 60 scrap on the target node and 990 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 60 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Extended Magazine 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 Extended Magazine has 32-bit signed item ID 2005491391 and shortname weapon.mod.extendedmags 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 Extended Magazine in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give weapon.mod.extendedmags 1 or inventory.giveid 2005491391 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.
