Salt Water

Salt Water in Rust is a type of water that can be collected from the ocean. It's important to note that salt water is not suitable for drinking as it will cause your character to vomit, resulting in a loss of health and hydration levels. To make it safe for consumption, salt water must be processed through a Water Purifier to remove the salt and produce drinkable water.

When gathering salt water, players should use containers such as water bottles or jugs. After securing salt water, use the in-game Water Purifier by placing it near a heat source like a campfire or furnace. The purifier will evaporate the salt water leaving behind potable water that will be crucial for your survival in the game.

Remember, drinking salt water directly from your inventory will have immediate negative effects on your health status. Always ensure you have access to a Water Purifier or find a fresh water source to maintain hydration without the risks. Moreover, processed water can be used for cooking and crafting, making the purifying step an essential part of your in-game routine.
