Inner Tube

An inflatable ring to sit in and drift, in the sea or in your own pool. It costs the same as the boogie board and is just as harmless in a fight.

Overview

In-game description
An inflated tube for aquatic activities.

Floating in your own above ground pool after a long farm run is about the calmest thing Rust lets you do, and that is the inner tube's job. You sit in it on the water and drift. It does nothing in a fight and nothing in a raid.

The recipe is a copy of the boogie board: one tarp and 75 metal fragments at a Level 1 workbench, with nothing to research. So you choose on looks: the board if you want to lie flat, the tube if you want to sit.

Out at sea it is no boat. It carries nothing and leaves you in plain view, so keep it close to home. When you really need to cross water, take a kayak.

Raid cost

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time.
