Shorts

Shorts in Rust are a clothing item designed primarily for players who value aesthetics over functionality. These wearable shorts provide the same level of protection as the burlap trousers and hide skirt, but they do come at a higher cloth cost. Players who choose to craft and wear shorts will enjoy no additional functional benefits, such as increased inventory slots or enhanced defense capabilities.

Shorts are often selected by players who have an ample supply of resources and wish to create a distinctive look for their in-game character. While they do not offer any tactical advantage, shorts can be an element of personal expression within the game. It's crucial to weigh the resource investment against the desire for a unique appearance when considering the crafting of shorts.

For survivors focusing on utility or those with limited resources, it may be advisable to opt for other clothing options that provide the same protection without the extra cost. Nevertheless, if the visual appeal is your priority, and you have enough cloth, shorts can be a fun addition to your Rust wardrobe.
