Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need for Launch Site in Rust?expand_more
You need a blue keycard, a red keycard and a fuse. That's the full requirement to run the Launch Site puzzle — put the fuse in to power the room, then swipe the cards. Keycards are single-use per swipe, so bring spares if you plan to run it more than once, and don't count on finding one on site.
What cards do you need for Launch Site?expand_more
Blue+Red card, Fuse. You can craft keycards or find them in monument crates. Green cards are cheap and common, blue cards come from mid-tier monuments, and red cards are the ones worth planning around — our keycards guide covers where each colour comes from and what it costs to make.
Is there a recycler at Launch Site?expand_more
Yes, Launch Site has a recycler on site. That matters more than it sounds — you can break components down into scrap before you leave instead of hauling them home, which cuts what you're carrying if you die on the way back.
Do you need a hazmat suit for Launch Site?expand_more
Launch Site has high radiation, so bring rad-resistant gear — a hazmat suit covers it comfortably. Radiation protection stacks from individual clothing pieces too, so a full set of decent gear can be enough without a dedicated suit.
How much rad protection do you need for Launch Site?expand_more
Launch Site is a high-radiation monument: hazmat suit, full stop, plus meds. The suit's 50% radiation protection handles a normal run, but the hottest pockets can still tick damage through it — keep moving and carry anti-rad pills or a medical syringe for the overflow.
