Compound Bow

The Compound Bow is the most powerful bow. It can one shot someone with full gear. Pulling the bow while keeping still and stationary will increase the velocity and damage of the arrow. As of December 2021, the Compound Bow received a nerf. You can no longer find it in default blueprints. You also can't pull the string on the Compound Bow for too long, otherwise it loses durability overtime.

Rust has two recycler types. Monument recyclers are faster and yield 60%, but you can be attacked. Safe-zone recyclers in Outpost and Bandit yield 40% and take longer, but turrets protect you.
