Repair
At a repair bench, fully worn: 7 High Quality Metal. 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 | 10 High Quality Metal, 2 Metal Pipe, 1 to 2 Metal Spring | 5s |
| Barrel recycler40% back | 8 High Quality Metal, 1 to 2 Metal Pipe, 1 to 2 Metal Spring | 8s |
| Powered recycler75% back | 15 High Quality Metal, 3 Metal Pipe, 2 to 3 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.

The chance that a freshly spawned container, or a killed NPC, gives you at least one M4 Shotgun. Best chance first. Some containers hand it over already damaged, and which container it came from is what decides that.

|---|---|---|---|
| Locked CrateContainer | 9.09% | 1 | Full |
| Elite CrateContainer | 1.22% | 1 | 1 to 3 of 100 (1 to 3%) |
| Heavy ScientistNPC | 0.94% | 1 | Full |
| Heavy Scientist (Bradley)NPC | 0.94% | 1 | Full |
| Helicopter CrateContainer | 0.94% | 1 | Full |
