Hammer

The Hammer in Rust is an essential tool used by players to interact with their constructions. Its primary functions include rotating, repairing, and upgrading structural components such as walls, floors, and other building parts. It is a fundamental item for base construction and maintenance, allowing for quick modifications to your fortress.

Beyond construction, the Hammer also plays a critical role in base management. Players can utilize it to pick up certain deployable items like chests or sleeping bags, granting the flexibility to redesign or relocate essential objects within your base. Its versatility makes the Hammer a must-have tool for any survivor looking to establish and secure a foothold in Rust's unforgiving world.

When wielding the Hammer, players will find an interactive menu that surfaces when aiming at a building piece. This menu presents options to upgrade materials from wood to stone, to sheet metal, or to armored depending on available resources. It’s important to note that upgrading buildings increases their durability and resistance against attacks from other players or NPCs. In terms of repair, the Hammer allows for a quick fix to damaged structures provided you have the necessary materials on hand.

Since the Hammer has such a critical role in both constructing and maintaining bases, it is advised to always keep one in your inventory. Remember to secure your Hammer and other essential tools, as losing these can leave you vulnerable during base construction or when facing sudden assaults.
