Overview

In-game description

The Piano is a repurposed wheelbarrow that weighs a ton, but makes up for it with a wide range of notes.

Someone in your group took piano lessons as a kid, and that someone should own this. Its game text promises a wide range of notes, and as far as we know Rust lets you play instruments from a real MIDI keyboard plugged into your PC. Put the two together and the base gets an actual concert instead of a few clumsy notes.

It costs more than the hand instruments: 100 metal fragments, 200 wood and a Level 1 workbench, but nothing to research. By the time a clan has a band at all, that pile is spare change. Every player can craft it from the start, so whoever plays best can build their own.

It does nothing for your fights or your farm. Next to the Junkyard Drum Kit it gives a clan band its chords, and a recycler hands back half the materials.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
