Targeting Attachment crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust

Crafting Targeting Attachment 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.

How Targeting Attachment compares to related weapons in Rust

When choosing between Targeting Attachment and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 1,050-scrap tech tree path and save 990 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
