Missile silo

In this guide, we will take a detailed look at the Missile Silo monument: where to look, what to take with you, what threats to expect, and how to effectively complete the location to get the maximum amount of loot.

Briefly about the monument

The Missile Silo is one of the most coveted monuments in Rust: it has a large amount of useful loot, but also a lot of risk. The main dangers are scientists (many with NVG and high damage), dangerous falls into the silo, a hot or dangerous hatch, and of course hostile players who can ambush you at the exit or hide inside.

Enemies and loot

• Bots: 27 in total - 4 of which are regular patrol scientists and 23 with NVG.
• Loot: Around 30 regular/military crates, 1 elite crate, 3 diesel barrels and a red card at the bottom.

What to take with you

• Blue card - required to open the hatch.
• Clothing with radiation protection ≥ 25. Hazmat will do, but a set with greater stability and survivability is preferable.
• Weapons according to taste and skills.
• Ammunition: If you are using an assault rifle (AK), aim for ~100 rounds.
• Medicines and dressings.

Where is it located?

Open the map - the mine usually lies on the border of the forest and desert biomes; it is visible as a large significant monument.

External structure and environment

The mine area is located on a small hill and is fenced with barbed wire. There are three observation towers along the perimeter. In the center is a large hatch, surrounded by several utility buildings and hangars; barricades are scattered everywhere, which will come in handy in a shootout. A radio tower with a ladder is visible at the corner of the site.

Internal structure (underground)

Hidden beneath the surface is a multi-level complex with a network of corridors and rooms. There are 6 levels in height: from 0 to -5. Inside there are living quarters, offices, warehouses, bathrooms and elevators.

Detailed route of the cleanup

External part - order of bypass

1. House 1 (entrance near the barbed wire) - 1 box.
2. Near house 2 - 2 boxes near the house (you can't go inside).
3. House 3 - 2 boxes inside; when leaving, go to the hangars.
4. Hangars - shelves to the left (1 box) and right (3 boxes) of the truck.
5. House 5 - 1 box and a place to activate the blue card (20 seconds to jump into the hatch).
   
   

Underground part - sequence by levels

Level 0

First flight, side room with a box, then stairs to -1.

Level -1

Crates near boxes and shelves; two rooms with green doors that may contain loot. Next is an elevator to -2.

Level -2

Two boxes by the elevator, then jump along the platforms into the shaft to -5.

Level -5 (heart of the mine)

Bunker with warhead, laptop with timer, red card, elite box and 3 barrels of diesel.

Level -4

A small computer room with one drawer.

Level -3

Two living rooms: 2 boxes in the first, 1 in the second. Another one near the stairs.

Second pass level -2 (exit block)

Warehouses and toilets - extra boxes. The admin office is empty of loot, but behind it is a rack with two boxes.

Exit

We go up to -1, kill the last bots, go to the room with the camera computer and the red button. The door opens the exit outside.

Tips and Warnings

• Be careful around the hatch - its edges cause damage.
• NVG bots are especially dangerous in dark places - use cover.
• If you are on a team, assign roles.
• The red card is needed for other monuments.
• Look at the laptop near the warhead - there are event timers there.

The Rocket Silo is a great place to get valuable items, but only with proper preparation and careful cleaning. Following the route and having everything you need, you can take out the maximum amount of resources.
