Torpedo

The Torpedo in Rust is a powerful type of ammunition designed for use with the game's deep-sea vessels, both types of submarines. When fired, torpedoes travel in a straight line towards their target, making them an essential tool for underwater combat. Originally known as the Direct Torpedo, the item was rebranded to simply "Torpedo" after updates to the game.

Following updates in September 2021, the Surface Torpedo was removed from Rust to address gameplay balance issues, specifically to prevent players from exploiting the ability to attack from underwater with minimal risk. This change has made the Torpedo the primary underwater offensive option, giving submarine operators a strong but fair weapon in their arsenal.

For players looking to engage in submarine warfare or protect their aquatic bases, understanding how to effectively use Torpedoes is key. Always keep a stockpile of Torpedoes if you plan on piloting a submarine, as they are your main defense against threats and a potent force in attacking enemy structures or vessels beneath the waves.
