Leather

Leather is a valuable resource in Rust, mainly obtained by harvesting various animals in the game. It is an essential component for crafting mid to high-tier armor, playing a crucial role in the progression and survival of every Rust player. While leather can be collected from many animals, the highest yields come from bears and wolves. Ensuring you have a sufficient supply of leather is key to protecting yourself from attacks and harsh environmental conditions.

Aside from its use in armor creation, leather is also used in making other important items such as weapon holsters, boots, and gloves, enhancing your character's abilities and providing additional protection. When hunting for leather, using tools like the bone knife, hatchet, or salvaged axe will maximize the amount you collect from each animal. Remember, the more efficient your tool, the more leather you'll harvest. With its vital role in gameplay, leather is a resource Rust players should prioritize when looting and exploring the vast, open world.
