Crafting Weapon flashlight 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
The Weapon flashlight fits the most weapons of the 15 weapon attachments, tied with the Weapon Lasersight at 28.
When choosing between Weapon flashlight and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (30 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 435-scrap tech tree path and save 405 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

The Weapon flashlight drops from 8 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Scientist RHIB Dry Box (26.5% chance), Military Tunnel Scientist (2.9% chance), and Sunken Chest (1.1% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Weapon flashlight recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 1 High Quality Metal plus a 50% chance of one more. Radtown green recyclers return higher base material efficiency than safe-zone yellow recyclers, which trade lower output for peacekeeper turret protection.
The Weapon flashlight takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Weapons catalog with item ID 952603248 alongside 84 related weapons, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 952603248 1 across 85 published Weapons entries.

The Weapon flashlight has 32-bit signed item ID 952603248 and shortname weapon.mod.flashlight 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 Weapon flashlight in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give weapon.mod.flashlight 1 or inventory.giveid 952603248 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.
