Stone Wall
Stone Wall
The Stone Wall is a mid-tier building component and one of the most commonly used walls in Rust. It is upgraded from Twig or Wood using a Hammer and stone, and offers a strong balance between cost and durability, making it suitable for bases of any size.
Stone walls are immune to fire damage and resistant to most basic tools and projectiles, but they are vulnerable to explosive damage. They can also be damaged with melee tools, especially when attacked from the weaker side. The weak side is the smooth, lighter-colored face of the wall, which should always be placed facing inside the base to prevent it from being exploited.
Due to the abundance of stone and its solid defensive value, stone walls are widely used from early to mid game and often remain part of a base for its entire lifespan. Upgrading to stone as soon as possible is strongly recommended to avoid the weaknesses of lower-tier walls.
