What the Holosight gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 9 High Quality Metal, 75% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 7 + 20% High Quality Metal, 60% Tech Trash |
| Green recycler | 50% | 6 High Quality Metal, 50% Tech Trash |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 4 + 80% High Quality Metal, 40% Tech Trash |
The Holosight breaks down into High Quality Metal and Tech Trash.
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 + 20%” means 7 every time and a 20% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Holosight is a weapon attachment in the Weapons category (item ID #442289265, console shortname weapon.mod.holosight). Weapon modding mounts this sight attachment across 27 compatible ranged weapons. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
Uses laser projection to create a holographic sight which is always pointing at the target regardless of view angle.
Crafting Holosight 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.
Only two of the 15 weapon attachments fit more weapons than the Holosight.
The Holosight fits 27 weapons, as do the Variable Zoom Scope, the Simple Handmade Sight and the 8x Zoom Scope.
When choosing between Holosight 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holosight | 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 |
| Targeting Attachment | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 1,050 path | Not recyclable |
| Soda Can Silencer | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 405 path | Not recyclable |

The Holosight takes the sight slot and tightens aimed spread by 20% on 27 ranged weapons in Rust, including Assault Rifle, Bolt Action Rifle, Crossbow, Custom SMG, Double Barrel Shotgun, Handmade SMG and 21 other firearms. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID 442289265 across 85 weapons.
The Holosight is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 12 High Quality Metal and 1 Tech Trash, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Tech Trash must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Holosight drops from 10 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Scientist RHIB Dry Box (12.1% chance), Locked Crate (1.3% chance), and Elite Crate (0.78% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Holosight recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 6 High Quality Metal and a 50% chance of a Tech Trash. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The Holosight 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 442289265 alongside 84 related weapons, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 442289265 1.
Blueprint progression for Holosight 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. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID 442289265 across 85 weapons.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Holosight despawns after 40 minutes by default. Moving it into a storage box, locker, or player inventory immediately cancels the ground despawn countdown, which the server assigns by item rarity tier to prevent dropped loot from lagging active worlds.
The Holosight has 32-bit signed item ID 442289265 and shortname weapon.mod.holosight 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 Holosight in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give weapon.mod.holosight 1 or inventory.giveid 442289265 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.
