Homemade Landmine

Homemade Landmine. If you stand on one, you can ask a friend to disarm it before it explodes.

The Homemade Landmine is a trap in Rust with 100 health. You craft it at a Level 2 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 100 scrap to research.

About the Homemade Landmine

Outside a tool cupboard's range it holds for 2 days, then decays from full health to nothing in 2 days.

On the tech tree it sits behind 6 other unlocks: Pump Shotgun, 12 Gauge Buckshot, Metal Shield, Salvaged Icepick, Salvaged Axe and Longsword. In all, 24 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.

How to raid the Homemade Landmine

Its cheapest raid is 2 × Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, 50 sulfur in all. Each of these also brings it down from full health: 1 × Timed Explosive Charge, 1 × Rocket and 1 × Satchel Charge.
