Rust skins
Rust skins that actually do something
Almost every Rust skin is pure decoration and changes nothing about how the item plays. A small number are different: cleaner or glowing weapon sights, doors you can peek through while they are shut, distinct items that carry real protection, and gear you can craft with no workbench. Here is the whole list, grouped by what it does, so a new player can see the ones worth grabbing.

Protection
Distinct clothing and armor items that shield you from radiation, cold or hits in a way a plain slot item cannot.
Radiation protectionSurgeon ScrubsA distinct full-body suit, not a costume. Once you own it on Steam it crafts with no workbench (60 cloth and 2 sewing kits) and gives solid radiation, cold and melee protection, a budget stand-in for a hazmat suit.$39.90
Extra protectionRat MaskA Wolf Headdress reskin: a distinct head item with the same melee and cold protection as the base headdress, craftable with no workbench and a touch faster once you own it.$13.43
Extra protectionDragon MaskA Wolf Headdress reskin: a distinct head item with the same melee and cold protection as the base headdress, craftable with no workbench and a touch faster once you own it.$1.76
Extra protectionNest HatA Wolf Headdress reskin: a distinct head item with the same melee and cold protection as the base headdress, craftable with no workbench and a touch faster once you own it.$0.66
Extra protectionOx MaskA Wolf Headdress reskin: a distinct head item with the same solid melee and cold protection as the base headdress, craftable with no workbench and a bit faster once you own it.$2.45
Extra protectionSnowman HelmetA real head-slot armor item, not just a costume. Once you own it, it crafts for just 10 cloth with no workbench, giving decent melee plus a little cold and radiation protection.$1.24
Extra protectionClatter HelmetFree if you own the standalone game Clatter. It crafts a bucket-helmet equivalent for 35 metal with no workbench, though its glowing torches make you easier to spot at night.No market price
Cold protectionFrog BootsDistinct boots, not just a paint job. If you own the skin they craft from a single tarp with no workbench for a little early cold and radiation protection. Handy, but not real armor.No market price

Cleaner sights
Aiming
Weapon skins whose iron sights are modified or glow, or whose frame is cut away, giving a clearer view when you aim. Facepunch treats these as pay-to-win and sometimes patches specific skins, so treat it as a small edge.
See-through frameBlackout BowThe Blackout Bow has a cut-out frame, so less of the bow blocks your view while you draw and aim.$8.89
See-through frameCargo Heli BowThe Cargo Heli bow uses the same open-frame style that blocks less of your view when you aim.$0.72
See-through frameCargo Heli CrossbowThe Cargo Heli Crossbow has wide open sections in its frame, so more of the target stays visible while you aim.$2.28
Slimmer gun modelBlack Ops Rocket LauncherThe Black Ops rocket launcher model renders partly transparent when you aim, so the bulky launcher covers much less of your screen while you line up a rocket.$0.88

Handy extras
Utility
One-off conveniences, like a torch that stays lit underwater, a rifle with a working ammo counter, or a tool cupboard that shows its upkeep at a glance.
Ammo counterSpace LR-300 Assault RifleThis LR-300 store skin has a working LED counter that shows your exact remaining rounds and flashes a low-ammo warning, real combat info a plain rifle never gives.$6.99
Shows base statusRetro Tool CupboardThis Tool Cupboard skin has panels that show the upkeep resources stored inside and your base status, so you can check it at a glance without opening it.$9.99
Ceiling lightChinese LanternA distinct item, not a skin, that hangs from a ceiling. Unlike the normal lantern it does not sit on the floor, so it lights a tight base without eating floor space.$1.35
Tall campfireHobo BarrelWorks like a campfire (heat, light, cooking) but with a much taller model, so players deploy it as a cheap early-game jump-up for building before they have a ladder hatch.No market price
Lights underwaterDiver TorchThe torch that keeps burning underwater because its model shields the flame, giving you a handheld light for diving and underwater labs. It lights dimly below the surface.No market price
Heal up faster
Comfort
Furniture that carries a Comfort buff, so passive healing runs faster and radiation fades quicker while you shelter. It is a property of the item, so every skin of it works: a rug gives about 25 percent, a chair 100 percent while seated, and a bear rug up to 100 percent near the head. Comfort trades a little hunger and thirst for the faster healing.

Find your base at night
Glow in the dark
Deployables, doors and storage that give off light so you can find your own gear in the dark. Glowing clothing is left out on purpose, since that only makes you easier to spot.
