Ammo it can chamber
| Round | Damage a shot | Damage a second |
|---|---|---|
| Incendiary Pistol Bullet | 33.6 | 336 |
| Pistol Bullet | 30 | 300 |
| HV Pistol Ammo | 30 | 300 |
Body damage at point blank with no attachments, on vanilla settings. Damage a second assumes the trigger held and ignores reloads.
Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 3 High Quality Metal. A half worn one costs half as much.
- Condition lost per repair
- 20% of maximum
- Blueprint needed
- Yes
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 | 4 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 SMG Body, 0 to 1 Metal Spring | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 3 to 4 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 SMG Body, 0 to 1 Metal Spring | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 6 High Quality Metal, 0 to 1 SMG Body, 0 to 1 Metal Spring | 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.
Tech tree
On the workbench 2 tree, 16 unlocks in, reachable after Muzzle Boost.
No scrap price on the tree itself: every node ships with its cost overridden to -1 and the fallback is not recoverable from the files. The research table price above is a different number and that one is derivable.

Total raw materials
What you actually have to farm, with every sub-component broken down.
The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, gives you at least one Custom SMG. Best chance first. Some containers hand it over already damaged, and which container it came from is what decides that.
