High Quality Metal

High quality metal suitable for armor and weapons construction.

In Rust, 93 crafting recipes call for High Quality Metal, and the Battering Ram (100), Workbench Level 3 (100) and 8x Zoom Scope (50) take the most per craft. Each High Quality Metal Ore you smelt or cook gives 1 of it. Mining gives it from Satellite Remains (60 each).

About the High Quality Metal

The last hit on a node adds a bonus: Barrels Blocker (10), Barricades Blocker (10), Desks Blocker (10) and 3 more. Satellite Crate gives the biggest single find, 50 at a time. Opening Large Present (60) can give it as well.

One shop buys it: Scrap 4 Sale, 1 for 2 scrap. It stacks to 100 in one inventory slot.

Only one vendor sells it: the Travelling Vendor for 100 to 120 scrap. In all, 37 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
