Wood Shutters

Wood Shutters in Rust are essential deployable items tailored for window placements. These shutters are primarily designed for controlling visibility and access through windowed areas in your base. By installing Wood Shutters, you gain the strategic advantage of opening or closing windows to block line of sight and prevent outside players from shooting into your shelter. This creates a layer of security and tactical gameplay when defending your base.

A vital feature of the Wood Shutters is that they are unlocked, which means they can be operated by anyone who can physically reach them. This demands strategic placement, often on upper levels of your base, to restrict external accessibility while providing internal occupants with control over the shutters. It's important to realize that utilizing shutters can indirectly inform raiders which windows you may be using for defense or observation, as visible shutters suggest active usage by the defender.

While Wood Shutters don't offer the option to be locked, their flexible use can be an asset in different situations. For instance, when visibility is needed, they can be flung open quickly to engage or monitor enemies, and closed just as swiftly to safeguard your interiors from threats. Additionally, the choice of shutters can influence the aesthetics of your base, giving it a rustic and fortified appearance while fulfilling their practical role in base defense and privacy.
