Metal Spring

An uncommon component used for the construction of almost every gun. It may be found with moderate frequency from crates, and uncommonly from barrels. Generally speaking, guns of higher tiers will require more Metal Springs, while low tier guns (Semi Auto Pistol, Rifle) require only one.

Recycling

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.

60%
