Incapacitate Dart
A dart that slows your target and blocks their vision briefly.
The Incapacitate Dart is ammunition in Rust for one weapon, the Blow Pipe. In the Blow Pipe it deals 15 damage per shot, 5 damage per second. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 40 scrap to research.
About the Incapacitate Dart
It flies at 55 m/s from the Blow Pipe.
One craft makes 2, so each costs 2.5 × Wood and 0.5 × Snake Venom. A full stack of 64 takes 32 crafts and 96 seconds: 160 × Wood and 32 × Snake Venom. When a Primitive Jungle Crate has it, it holds 3 to 5. Recycling it in a green recycler returns 20% of its crafting cost. Recycling it returns the Snake Venom only by chance, 25% of the time.
