Water Purifier

The Water Purifier in Rust is an essential early-game item for survival, designed to produce clean, drinkable water. It specifically converts unsafe salt water into safe, consumable water, crucial for maintaining a player's hydration levels. To operate, the Water Purifier must be placed directly on top of an active campfire. Once positioned, fill its attached propane tank with salt water, and the heat from the campfire will distill the water, leaving contaminants behind. The purified water then collects in the attached bucket below, ready for immediate use or to be stored for later needs.

Utilizing the Water Purifier is straightforward, yet it's critical to note that it can only purify water when the campfire beneath is lit. The efficiency of the Water Purifier makes it a reliable source of hydration in the absence of natural freshwater sources. Players should strategically place and utilize purifiers to ensure a steady supply of drinkable water, benefiting both individual survival and the wellbeing of a group. Always remember to keep a stock of fuel for the campfire to keep your water supply flowing.
