Chainsaw in Rust

The most important thing players need to note is that they require a level two workbench to craft a chainsaw. Once players have a level two workbench in Rust, they will need to amass many items and scraps before they can craft the chainsaw. Here's what players require to craft a chainsaw in Rust:

• The chainsaw Blueprint
• Five pieces of high-quality metal
• Two gears
• Six metal blades

Players can collect all of the above items by looting crates and barrels. However, the blueprint can be a little tricky to find. There are three possible ways for players to find a blueprint in Rust. These methods are:

• Finding them in crates and barrels
• Experimenting on workbenches; and
• Researching the item that they require a blueprint for.

Players can try any of the three methods mentioned to obtain the chainsaw blueprint in Rust. Once the player has all the items necessary to craft a chainsaw, they can do so on two workbench levels.
