Did Rust Breach and Clear change raid costs or raid preparation?
Short answer
The official Breach and Clear notes do not list a direct change to the standard door and wall counts or explosive recipes monitored by RaidBench, and those values passed a separate source check. Preparation still changes: larger authorized groups can add TC upkeep tax, red-keycard monument blockers can delay access, and standardized grenade stack sizes can change inventory planning.
| Area | What it means |
|---|---|
| Explosive math | The six monitored vanilla door and wall targets, sulfur-per-item values, and official explosive recipe markers passed a separate post-update verification. |
| Group TC upkeep | The first four counted players add no new tax; the next six add 2% each, subsequent players add 4% each, and the official maximum tax is 300%. |
| Monument access | New blockers appear at monuments with red-keycard puzzle rooms. The official update describes them as damage-gated obstacles and says they begin decaying after 24 hours if not destroyed. |
| Inventory planning | Grenade stack sizes were reduced and standardized, so plans that depend on old carry layouts deserve an in-game inventory check. |
| Garage-door handling | Unlocked garage doors can now be picked up without building privilege, matching other doors; teams should recheck assumptions around unsecured access and ownership. |
