Underwater Dweller

The Underwater Dweller is a hostile NPC found within Rust's aquatic environment, specifically in the Underwater Labs. These opponents are important for players to understand as they patrol the underwater sections and pose a significant threat. Underwater Dwellers are armed with M92 pistols or M39 rifles, making them dangerous adversaries. In behavior and function, they are akin to the Tunnel Dwellers found in the game's land-based tunnels.

Players encountering these NPCs can expect a challenging fight, as the Underwater Dwellers are vigilant and attack on sight. Successfully defeating an Underwater Dweller can offer players loot opportunities, making these NPCs a valuable target for those exploring Rust's Underwater Labs. It's essential for players to equip themselves with appropriate gear and weapons for underwater combat before engaging with these foes.

When planning to infiltrate the Underwater Labs, it is advisable to prepare strategic approaches, considering the patrol patterns of the Underwater Dwellers. Understanding their armament allows players to equip suitable defensive items, such as the Diving Suit for underwater duration and mobility, as well as ranged weapons to match the firepower of these NPCs. Coordinated team play can also increase the chances of overcoming these enemies and reaping the rewards they guard.
