A sheet metal door is one of the most searched Rust raid targets because it appears early, protects meaningful loot, and can be raided with several budget paths.
| Method | Amount | Estimated sulfur | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockets | 2 | 2,800 | You need speed or splash. |
| C4 | 1 | 2,200 | You want a quiet, fast single door. |
| Satchels | 4 | 1,920 | You are early-game and accept failure risk. |
| Explosive ammo | 63 | 1,575 | You can shoot safely and want low sulfur cost. |
Cheapest is not always best. Explosive ammo is efficient but noisy and time-consuming. C4 is expensive, but a single charge can be better if counters are close or the base is already active.
