In Rust, Mace is a melee weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-1966748496, console shortname mace). 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, It's unique design makes it easier to hit your target when compared to other more traditional weapons.

  • Blueprint unlock savings (game files): Research Table study (30 scrap) saves 255 scrap (89% less) vs the 285-scrap tech tree branch
  • Monument recycling yield: Radtown green units return 50% of ingredients (5s cycle), beating 40% yellow safe-zone units by +25%
  • Bench repair & durability cap: Full repair costs 20 Wood and 10 Metal Fragments (zero rare bodies) while capping max condition by 20%
  • Conveyor & locker automation: Filter by category or shortname mace to auto-stock locker kits and storage boxes

Mace crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Mace 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.

How Mace compares to related weapons in Rust

When choosing between Mace and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 285-scrap tech tree path and save 255 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
