How to unlock Boomerangs and Blow Pipes in Rust

The Boomerang in Rust is part of the primitive kit. As such, there is no requirement for players to actively unlock it. It will be available to you by default, and you can easily get your hands on it once you have the materials required to craft it in the game.

However, as for the Blow Pipe, you have to get your hands on the blueprint for the item. As of writing this article, you can only get it through the crates that spawn in the Ziggurat Monument in the jungle biome.

They are Tier 1 weaponry, and as such, you should know that they are not the best or the most powerful weapons in the game. The Boomerangs and Blow Pipes in Rust will serve you fine only for early game encounters.

The Boomerang can be created directly via the Crafting menu in the game. You do not need access to any workbenches or any additional items other than the materials required to craft it.

Here's what you'll need to make this weapon:

• 300 Wood

As you can see, the minimal requirements make it the perfect early-game weapon that you can unlock immediately by chopping down a tree. It will come in handy to ward off ill-equipped players and unarmed players who are out to hinder your progress.

Once you research the Blow Pipe, you can then directly craft it while you are in the crafting vicinity of a Workbench Level 1 (or higher). Now, to make this weapon, you will need the following items:

• 200 Wood
• 1 Metal Pipe
• 25 Cloth

This weapon allows you to only shoot one dart at a time, and you have to make the shot count. The Blow Pipe features four dart types to choose from:

• Basic wood dart: Damages the enemy player
• Incapacitation dart: Mixed with snake venom, this dart causes players to have blurry vision in the game.
• Radiation dart: Using this dart inflicts radiation poisoning on players.
• Scatter dart: This dart allows you to shoot a scatter-shot at the enemy. The dart explodes to distribute pellets, which deal a lot of damage in close-quarter combat.
