SAM Site

The SAM Site, a critical defense mechanism in the game Rust, is designed to automatically target and fire upon various air vehicles such as minicopters, scrap helicopters, hot air balloons, as well as MLRS rockets. However, even players with authorization from a Tool Cupboard (TC) can be targeted if they approach in an air vehicle. A minimum of three SAM Sites is usually recommended to ensure optimal protection against MLRS rockets.

Integrating a RF Transmitter or a Smart Switch with your mobile device can give you the flexibility to control the SAM Site remotely, which is particularly useful if you own air vehicles and wish to avoid triggering your own defenses. As of the latest update, the SAM Site features a Defender Mode, which provides the unique option of only engaging MLRS rockets, thereby preventing the accidental destruction of friendly or player-owned air vehicles.

Utilizing the Defender Mode enhances the strategic aspect of base protection, allowing players to continue using their minicopters without the risk of being shot down by their own SAM Sites. Constantly updating its capabilities to meet player needs, the SAM Site is an indispensable tool in safeguarding your assets from aerial threats in the dynamic and often treacherous world of Rust.
