Water Bucket

The Water Bucket in Rust is an essential survival item explicitly designed for carrying and transporting water. It is perfect for hydrating your character or for agricultural purposes when tending to crops. Made from metal, the bucket can be filled by approaching a water source, such as a river or lake, and using the 'Use' action. However, it's crucial to note that if you store the Water Bucket in your inventory, any water inside will spill out, so you'll need to use it before moving on or pour the water into another container, like a Water Barrel or Water Purifier for later use.

Additionally, the Water Bucket can be utilized to extinguish fires, which is handy during base fires or after an attack with incendiary weapons. To maximize its utility, keep it filled and ready outside of your inventory. With its simple functionality and versatility, the Water Bucket is a must-have for players aiming to ensure a steady water supply or manage fire-related emergencies. Remember that while it's a basic tool, its role in your survival and base maintenance strategies can be significant, so make sure to have a couple of them at hand for various uses around your base.
