Stone Hatchet

The Stone Hatchet is an essential, basic gathering tool in the game Rust. Ideal for new players, this tool is primarily designed to efficiently harvest wood and flesh. Easy to craft without advanced resources, it requires only readily available wood and stone materials, making it accessible right from the start of the game.

While the Stone Hatchet is not as effective as its advanced counterparts, the Hatchet or Salvaged Axe, it's exceptionally useful due to its simplicity and the fact that it doesn't require a furnace to create—this means you can have a tool for wood gathering without needing to engage in more complex crafting processes. With a Stone Hatchet in hand, you're well-equipped to begin your resource collection and increase your chances of survival in the rugged world of Rust.

Aside from its primary function of wood gathering, the Stone Hatchet can be used for basic combat and to obtain animal meat following a successful hunt. It may not be the best weapon, but it will serve in a pinch if you encounter hostile wildlife or unfriendly players while collecting resources.

A tip for new survivors: Pairing a Stone Hatchet with a Stone Pickaxe will round out your early-game resource gathering efforts, allowing you to collect not only wood and flesh but also mine essential minerals—enhancing your ability to thrive and progress in the game. Remember, while the Stone Hatchet is a stepping stone tool, upgrading to more refined tools should be a priority as you gather more resources and technology.
