Researching the blueprint costs 30 scrap at a Research Table.

Handmade Shell | 180, 20 pellets of 9 | ×1.25 | 100 m/s | 40 |

12 Gauge Slug | 80 | ×2 | 225 m/s | 18 |
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.

In Rust, Waterpipe Shotgun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-1367281941, console shortname shotgun.waterpipe). Loaded with standard Handmade Shell, it delivers 180 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 20 minutes.
A Shotgun. Fires a single round before reloading.
Crafting Waterpipe Shotgun 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.
When choosing between Waterpipe Shotgun and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 345-scrap tech tree path and save 315 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterpipe Shotgun | 180 dmg | 4.5s cycle | 40 DPS | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 345 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 |

Loaded with standard ammunition, the Waterpipe Shotgun deals 180 base damage per hit, firing once every 4.5 seconds (40 sustained DPS) in Rust, dropping to 25% damage past 20 m. Against a fifty-percent projectile-protection Metal Chest Plate, close torso hits deal ninety net damage and down a full-health player in two shots.
The Waterpipe Shotgun fires 12 Gauge Buckshot, 12 Gauge Incendiary Shells, 12 Gauge Slugs and Handmade Shells, reloading after every shot in Rust. Reloading takes 4.5 seconds (2.4s draw time), and holding the reload key (R) opens the radial selector to switch ammunition types.
Up to 2 weapon mods equip simultaneously on the Waterpipe Shotgun in Rust across 6 compatible attachments (2 mod categories): sight (8x Zoom Scope, Holosight, Simple Handmade Sight, Variable Zoom Scope); underbarrel (Weapon flashlight, Weapon Lasersight). Players drag compatible weapon mods directly onto the weapon inspection slots in their inventory to adjust sights, muzzle acoustics, or underbarrel lighting.
The Waterpipe Shotgun is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 150 Wood and 75 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 Waterpipe Shotgun 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 Waterpipe Shotgun recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more and 75 Wood. 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 Waterpipe Shotgun from broken for 30 Wood and 15 Metal Fragments in Rust. Repairing at a Repair Bench requires no learned blueprint, scales material cost by missing durability, and reduces maximum condition by 20% across a full durability bar.
Dropped with nothing attached or inside in Rust, the Waterpipe Shotgun despawns after 20 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Waterpipe Shotgun has 32-bit signed item ID -1367281941 and shortname shotgun.waterpipe 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 Waterpipe Shotgun in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give shotgun.waterpipe 1 or inventory.giveid -1367281941 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.
