1. What is the Rust Raid Calculator?

The Rust Raid Calculator helps players determine how many explosives are needed to raid through a certain number of walls based on the current game's raid mechanics and factors.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the raid equation:

Where:

• \( explosives \) — Number of explosives needed
• \( walls \) — Number of walls to break through
• \( factor \) — Current raid factor (depends on explosive type and wall material)

Explanation: The equation accounts for the basic raid mechanics in Rust where each wall requires a certain number of explosives based on the current game balance.

3. Importance of Raid Calculations

Details: Accurate raid calculations are crucial for successful raids, resource planning, and avoiding wasted resources in the game.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of walls you need to break through and the current raid factor for your explosive type. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where do I find the current raid factors?
A: Check the latest Rust patch notes or community resources for up-to-date raid factors as they may change with game updates.

Q2: Does this account for different wall materials?
A: The factor should be adjusted based on wall material (stone, metal, armored) and explosive type (satchel, rocket, C4).

Q3: Are there other factors that affect raids?
A: Yes, external walls, building placement, and defender countermeasures can affect actual raid requirements.

Q4: How often do raid factors change?
A: Facepunch Studios may adjust raid balance with major updates, typically every few months.

Q5: Should I bring extra explosives?
A: Always bring 10-20% more than calculated to account for misses or unexpected additional walls.
