Homemade Landmine

The Homemade Landmine in Rust is a player-crafted explosive trap designed to detonate when an unsuspecting player or NPC steps on and then off its pressure plate. It packs a powerful punch, capable of dealing significant damage to both players and structures. To disarm the landmine, a teammate can hold down the 'Use' button (default 'E') which allows for safe deactivation and retrieval of the device.

Strategically placing landmines around your base or in tall grass can provide a defensive edge against intruders. Keep in mind, however, that landmines are indiscriminate and can harm you or your allies if accidentally triggered. Always mark or remember where you've placed them to avoid any unintended casualties. Additionally, remember that landmines can be heard by nearby players when activated, potentially giving away their position or alerting enemies to your traps.

When crafting a Homemade Landmine, you'll need gunpowder, metal fragments, and scrap—resources commonly found throughout the island. Use the landmine wisely to protect valuable resources or as an offensive tool to control key areas on the map. A well-placed landmine can turn the tide of a raid or ambush, making it a versatile and potentially game-changing item in your Rust arsenal.
