Scatter Dart
A spread shot dart that fires multiple smaller darts.
The Scatter Dart is ammunition in Rust for one weapon, the Blow Pipe. In the Blow Pipe it deals 60 damage per shot, 20 damage per second. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 40 scrap to research.
About the Scatter Dart
It flies at 55 m/s from the Blow Pipe.
One craft makes 2, so each costs 12.5 × Wood and 5 × Stones. A full stack of 64 takes 32 crafts and 96 seconds: 800 × Wood and 320 × Stones. When a Primitive Jungle Crate has it, it holds 5 to 12.
Scatter Dart damage and stats
Each shot splits into 12 pellets. Where it lands changes its damage: ×1.5 to the head and ×0.75 to the legs and feet.
How to craft the Scatter Dart
Crafting one takes 3 seconds at a Level 1 Workbench and costs 25 × Wood and 10 × Stones. One craft makes 2 of them.
