How to get it
- Found in loot
- Worn by NPCs Scarecrow
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 10 Metal Fragments. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- 20% of maximum
- Blueprint needed
- No
Rust stores no repair cost. The bench builds one from the crafting recipe: components are swapped for the first ingredient of their own recipe, then everything is charged at 20% and rounded up.
Recycling
| Recycler | Returns | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Recycler50% back | 25 Metal Fragments | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 20 Metal Fragments | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 37 to 38 Metal Fragments | 4s |
A range means the last unit is a coin flip rather than a guarantee: half the recipe rarely divides evenly, and the recycler rolls for the remainder.
