Explosives are crucial for raiding and base destruction in Rust. Understanding the exact quantities needed for different structures helps optimize your resources and raid effectiveness.

Key Explosive Types:

• C4 (Timed Explosive Charge): Most efficient for metal walls and armored doors
• Rockets: Best for splash damage and multiple structures
• Satchel Charges: Budget option, but less reliable
• Beancan Grenades: Basic explosive, useful for early-game raiding

Structure Durability Guide:

Wooden Structures

• Easily destroyed with basic explosives
• Lowest durability tier

Stone/Metal Structures

• Require mid-tier explosives
• Most common base material
• Best approached with rockets or C4

Armored Structures

• Highest durability
• Most efficient to raid with C4
• Requires significant resource investment

Important Tips:

• Always bring extra explosives for unexpected situations
• Calculate total sulfur costs before raiding
• Consider splash damage when choosing explosives

Resource Costs:

• C4: 2,200 sulfur, 20 explosives, 5 cloth, 2 tech trash
• Rockets: 1,400 sulfur, 10 explosives, 30 gunpowder, 1 pipe
• Satchel Charges: 480 sulfur per charge

Damage Values:

• C4: 550 damage per charge
• Most efficient for single-target destruction
• Reliable and quick detonation

Always plan raids carefully and ensure you have sufficient resources before starting. The right explosive choice can mean the difference between a successful raid and wasted resources.
