Salvaged Hammer

Essentially an upgraded rock, the Salvaged Hammer is capable of gathering just about anything, but is not as good as an axe or pickaxe for gathering their respective resources. The Salvaged Hammer is the best tool for quickly melee raiding the sheet metal door, taking only 28 minutes, 10 seconds and 24 salvaged hammers.

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.
