The Best Ways to Farm HQM (High Quality Metal) in Rust!

Everyone needs high quality metal in Rust for upgrading your base, crafting gear, guns, etc. And there are a lot of great ways to do it, but they depend heavily on where you live and what you can manage. Some of my favorite options include diesel and quarries, abandoned military base, or sometimes just smacking road signs to recycle. Also if I'm close enough to launch I like to take advantage of the quiet times after brad is taken to farm the wreckage and grab other boxes.

I have found the easiest way to get hqm is watch for when your neighbours go offline on battle metrics, and then raid their base early mornings. If you have trouble with raiding, add turrets to the raid base. If you still have trouble you could build a compound around their compound to make it easier. I believe the conversion is 1 dignity to 1 pathetic offline raid. Highly recommend

Thanks I needed this for my penta bunkered fully hqm upgraded sealed with armored doors cave base

Metro with an HLMG is an amazing method as a solo, if all you want is HQM you can spend your scrap to buy more HQM recycleables at outpost/bandit

Bro use a paddle for signs like a gentlemen

Best thing you can do for almost any resource as a solo is get a bolty with a flashlight and run underground tunnels.

Only pick up comps that recycle for 5-20 Scrap, this includes all HQM comps, as well as fuses and gears. Not only can you use this as an efficient method with the outpost/bandy shops to get HQM through recycling and convert scrap to scopes, but you can also use this method to safely fill boxes with wood, metal frags, and low grade, as well as most importantly; using tac gloves it is an unmatched way to farm hundreds of sewing kits in as little as an hour, without spending anything you already have.

Can you do a video on the best way to raid a base with auto turrets? Theres so little helpful information out there thats up to date. I would be a happy bean

[anteehatte]

as of the march update the metal detector no longer works in safe zones

[HuskyRuski]

I noticed in high teir loot thing is swapped for train tunnels. Its lower in high teir areas.

[Wichixqz]

If u use the tresure box glitch its a pretty good method aswell

[reidcarberry]

Can someone elaborate on loot drop quality based off of spawn beach proximity? My understanding was each box/crate/barrel etc. has a % chance drop for x item as can be found at rustlabs. This is the first I’ve heard regarding loot quality related to map location

[roamdhong]

Are you saying the distance from spawn beach affects the rates at which military crates spawn? I swear power plant is always far from spawn beach which is why it always has so many mil crate spawns compared to brown crates. Is this a verifiable fact?

[GhOsT_ReApErXYT]

Love your vids keep up the work don’t mind the haters enjoy what you do and have a great spring break y’all.

[MrZapz_]

dont forget just clearing out oil rig scientists, they usually drop HQM like mil crates

[Hrcules]

Did arctic get nerfed ? last time I ran it over and over it was giving like 100+ per run

[timturner]

Missed the hq tip you can farm recycle bots leaving safe zones 😂

[susan]

you cant get mili crates from ziplines, they patched that a really long time ago

[mojoe]

Safe zone metal detecting was patched already.

Any rust electricians in the comments that can help? I’ve connected smart alarm to has target output of turret but it’s not powering turret has 11 power going into it any help appreciated

After realizing how easy it is for everyone to ESP exactly where your base is and where the loot in your base is. Thanks to FacePunch having the servers send everyone's loot and loot location data client-sided at all times regardless of loot owner, line of sight, or even distance from the loot. I uninstalled Rust. It is pointless to play a game where you are meant to build secure bases when the game designer themselves don't do their part to protect the integrity of their game. FacePunch needs to fix their game.
