Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
| Ammo | Damage | Headshot | Velocity | Damage per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Speargun Spear | 50 | ×1.5 | 25 m/s | 14 |
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Speargun, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 | 20 to 50% |
 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 | 20 to 50% |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 | 20 to 50% |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 | 100% |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 | 100% |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any. Condition is the state the item comes out in.
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 Speargun gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Empty Propane Tank, 56 + 25% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Empty Propane Tank, 45 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Empty Propane Tank, 37 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Empty Propane Tank, 30 Metal Fragments |
The Speargun breaks down into Empty Propane Tank 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. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Speargun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-1517740219, console shortname speargun). Loaded with standard Speargun Spear, it delivers 50 base impact damage from a single-round chamber in active combat. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A speargun which can only be fired underwater. Excellent for hunting Sharks.
Crafting Speargun in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 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 choosing between Speargun and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 75-scrap tech tree path and save 60 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Weapon | Damage | Fire Rate | Sustained DPS | Workbench / Source | Blueprint (Node / Path) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speargun | 50 dmg | 3.6s cycle | 13.9 DPS | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 75 path |
| LR-300 Assault Rifle | 40 dmg | 500 RPM | 160.4 DPS | Military crate / Vendor | Uncraftable |
| Semi-Automatic Rifle | 40 dmg | 343 RPM | 91.1 DPS | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 930 path |
| MP5A4 | 37.5 dmg | 600 RPM | 163 DPS | Workbench Level 3 | 120 node / 420 path |

To compare Speargun against every item in its inventory category, browse All 85 items in Weapons, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Workbench Level 1 tech tree, tile by tile.
Loaded with standard ammunition, the Speargun deals 50 base damage per hit, firing once every 3.6 seconds (13.9 sustained DPS) in Rust, dropping to 80% damage past 60 m. Against a fifty-percent projectile-protection Metal Chest Plate, close torso hits deal twenty-five net damage and down a full-health player in four shots.
The Speargun fires Speargun Spears, reloading after every shot in Rust. It sits in the Weapons catalog with item ID -1517740219 alongside 84 related weapons and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -1517740219 1 across 85 published Weapons entries.
The Speargun is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 75 Metal Fragments and 1 Empty Propane Tank, 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 Speargun drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Sunken Chest (1.1% chance), Normal Crate (0.44% chance), and Wagon Normal Crate (0.44% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Speargun recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of an Empty Propane Tank and 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
A repair bench fixes the Speargun from broken for 35 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 Speargun at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 75 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID -1517740219 across 85 weapons.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Speargun 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 Speargun has 32-bit signed item ID -1517740219 and shortname speargun 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 Speargun in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give speargun 1 or inventory.giveid -1517740219 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.
