Workbench Level 2, 25s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 12.5s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.
Keeps is the share of what the tool breaks off that reaches your inventory. The rest is destroyed with the swing.

Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Longsword, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Locked Crate | 1.3% | 1 to 2 |
 Elite Crate | 0.78% | 1 to 3 |
| Scientist PT Boat Dry Box | 0.73% | 1 to 3 |
 Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Underwater Lab Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
 Wagon Military Crate | 0.42% | 1 |
Missile Silo Scientist (underground) | 0.3% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.074% | 1 |
Heavy Scientist | 0.061% | 1 |
 Treasure Box, mission reward | 1.6% | 1 to 2 |
 Gingerbread Mine Present, Christmas event only | 0.42% | 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.
What the Longsword gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 1 + 50% Metal Blade, 75 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 1 + 20% Metal Blade, 60 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 1 Metal Blade, 50 Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 80% Metal Blade, 40 Metal Fragments |
The Longsword breaks down into Metal Blade and Metal Fragments.
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. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
6 skins on the Steam Market change how the Longsword looks, from $6.83 to $210.40.
In Rust, Longsword is a melee weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-1469578201, console shortname longsword). When harvesting, it clears a crocodile node in 13 swings while keeping 83% of the yield. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 20 minutes.
A powerful 2-handed melee weapon with good range and high damage.
Crafting Longsword in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 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.
When comparing Longsword against related weapons in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (25 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longsword | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 30 path | Not recyclable |
| Salvaged Sword | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 135 path | Not recyclable |
| Paddle | Weapons | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 15 node / 45 path | Not recyclable |
| Skinning Knife | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Longsword clears a crocodile carcass in 13 swings, about 24 seconds, and keeps 83% of the yield in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1469578201 across 85 weapons and despawns after 20 minutes when dropped on a default server.
The Longsword is crafted at a Workbench Level 2 from 2 Metal Blade and 100 Metal Fragments, 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 Longsword drops from 9 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (1.3% chance), Elite Crate (0.78% chance), and Scientist PT Boat Dry Box (0.73% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Longsword recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 Metal Blade and 50 Metal Fragments. 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 Longsword 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 -1469578201 alongside 84 related weapons, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1469578201 1.
A repair bench fixes the Longsword from broken for 32 Metal Fragments in Rust. Repairing at a Repair Bench requires no learned blueprint or rare component body, scaling material cost to missing durability while permanently capping maximum condition by 20% across a full repair.
Blueprint progression for Longsword at Workbench Level 2 in Rust charges 30 scrap on the target node and 30 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 30 scrap. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1469578201 across 85 weapons.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Longsword despawns after 20 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 Longsword has 32-bit signed item ID -1469578201 and shortname longsword 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 Longsword in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give longsword 1 or inventory.giveid -1469578201 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.
