Calculate exactly how many rockets, C4, satchels, or explosive ammo you need — and the total sulfur cost — to raid any structure in Rust.
Raid Calculator
Add a building and a weapon to see hit counts, resource costs, and total sulfur. Toggle soft side for melee tools — structures take 4× more damage on the weak face.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many rockets does it take to destroy an armored wall in Rust?
- It takes 15 rockets to destroy an armored wall. Use the calculator above to factor in the total sulfur cost and compare against cheaper alternatives like C4 or explosive ammo.
- What is the cheapest way to raid a sheet metal door in Rust?
- The cheapest option is satchel charges — it takes 4 satchels to destroy a sheet metal door, making it significantly more affordable than rockets or C4 on wipe day when resources are tight.
- Does the raid calculator account for soft-side vs hard-side raiding?
- Yes. Walls in Rust have a weak side (soft side) that takes significantly less damage to destroy. The calculator shows costs for both sides so you can plan the most efficient approach.
- How often are raid costs updated?
- Facepunch updates building HP and explosive damage values occasionally during major patches. RustLab updates the calculator within 24 hours of any balance changes so the numbers are always accurate.
