Floor grill

The Floor Grill is a craftable item in the game Rust primarily used in buildings to cover floor frames. The key feature of the Floor Grill is its transparency, allowing visibility through the grill without permitting bullets to pass. This transparency is particularly advantageous for base security, providing players the opportunity to monitor if someone is present in a room underneath or waiting outside their base entrance.

While the Floor Grill offers the benefit of sight, it must be noted that it possesses lower durability when compared to alternatives such as sheet metal or stone flooring. Consequently, this reduced strength translates to a decreased level of protection. To mitigate potential vulnerabilities introduced by a Floor Grill installation, it is advisable to strengthen the floor frame to at least a stone tier. Upgrading the frame ensures the Floor Grill doesn't become a structural weak point that could be exploited by other players.

Considering its functional use in base design, players often utilize Floor Grills in areas where visibility is essential yet require a barrier, for instance, above furnace rooms or loot areas. The ability to spot others without exposing oneself to gunfire adds a strategic element to base defense, making the Floor Grill a popular choice among the Rust community. Players should, however, remain conscious of the Floor Grill's resilience and plan their base upgrades accordingly to maintain a robust defense.
