1. What is Raid Time Estimation?

Raid time estimation helps players plan their attacks in Rust by calculating how long it will take to break through structures based on the structure's durability and the damage per second (DPS) of the weapons/tools being used.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Durability \) — The health points (HP) of the structure
• \( DPS \) — Damage per second of the weapon/tool
• \( Time \) — Estimated time in seconds to destroy the structure

Explanation: This calculation provides the theoretical minimum time required assuming continuous damage without any interruptions.

3. Importance of Raid Planning

Details: Accurate raid time estimation is crucial for resource planning, team coordination, and successful base penetration in Rust.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the structure's durability in HP and your weapon/tool's DPS. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find durability values for structures?
A: Durability values can be found in Rust's official documentation or community-maintained wikis that list building stats.

Q2: How accurate is this estimate?
A: This is a theoretical minimum. Actual raid times may be longer due to weapon durability, reload times, or defensive actions.

Q3: Does this account for multiple attackers?
A: No, for multiple attackers, sum their DPS values and enter the total DPS in the calculator.

Q4: What about armored structures?
A: Use the durability value for the armored version of the structure you're attacking.

Q5: Does tool quality affect DPS?
A: Yes, higher quality tools generally have higher DPS. Use the appropriate DPS value for your tool quality.
