Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 1, 3.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
Every player starts with this blueprint. Researching it anyway costs 10 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.

The Machete breaks down into Metal Fragments 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.
In Rust, Machete is a melee weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-1137865085, console shortname machete). 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 5 minutes.
A brutal weapon with good range.
Crafting Machete in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, 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 Machete 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.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machete | Weapons | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Bone Club | Weapons | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Boomerang | Weapons | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Candy Cane Club | Weapons | 1 per slot | World loot / gather | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Machete clears a crocodile carcass in 13 swings, about 12 seconds, and keeps 83% of the yield in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1137865085 across 85 weapons and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
The Machete is crafted by hand from 100 Wood and 40 Metal Fragments 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 Machete recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 20 Metal Fragments and 50 Wood. 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 Machete takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1137865085 across 85 weapons, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1137865085 1 across 85 published Weapons entries.
A repair bench fixes the Machete from broken for 20 Wood and 8 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.
Every player starts with the Machete blueprint, so it never needs researching; a Research Table would still charge 10 scrap for it in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1137865085 across 85 weapons, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1137865085 1.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Machete despawns after 5 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 Machete has 32-bit signed item ID -1137865085 and shortname machete 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 Machete in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give machete 1 or inventory.giveid -1137865085 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.
