Tank Top

The Tank Top in Rust is an item of clothing providing minimal protection to players. This low-tier garment is crafted using cloth material but is outperformed by other early-game armor such as the Hide Vest in terms of defense capabilities. However, the Tank Top can occasionally be discovered inside various crates scattered around the game's landscape.

Found more often in low-level loot sources, the Tank Top's acquisition is notably less reliable due to its low drop chance. It is generally not considered a valuable find when compared to other items like the Burlap Shirt, which surpasses the Tank Top in both protection and ease of crafting. Moreover, should players decide to produce their own Tank Tops, a cost of 75 scrap is required, a steep price for an item offering such basic protection.

In summary, while the Tank Top is a basic garment within Rust's survival world, it is often overlooked due to its inferior protection and high scrap cost for crafting. Players are typically better off crafting or searching for more effective armor pieces for survival and combat situations.
