What are the new weapons coming with the Rust November update?

The November update for Rust will feature the addition of two weapons in the game, namely:

1. Tier 1 SMG (Current placeholder name in the Staging Branch)
2. SKS

Here's a detailed brief on both these guns:

Tier 1 SMG

The Tier 1 SMG has been teased for a long time. It's been in high demand by the community for over a year, and we will finally see it introduced in the game with the Rust November update. As evident, the Tier 1 SMG will be unlockable through the Level 1 Workbench. It will be relatively cheap to craft, providing players a great edge over others during their early game phase.

Items from the Level 1 Workbench are mostly suited for early game progression. With the addition of a sub-machine gun to this tech tree, players will have a greater chance of taking down better-kitted enemies and ease through their progression in the game.

Crafting costs

Once you research the Tier 1 SMG, you will have the ability to craft it. To craft this weapon you will need access to the following materials:

• 5 HQM
• 200 Metal Fragments
• 1 Metal Spring

These can be easily attained during your early game roams, and once you unlock and craft this weapon, you will see a significant increase in your ability to win fights against better-kitted players.

SKS

The SKS was initially teased as a cosmetic for the Semi-automatic Rifle (SAR) in Rust. However, the latest Staging Branch showcase from different players now indicates that it will be featured in the game as a powerful semi-automatic weapon. Part of the Level 3 Workbench, this item is solely suited for late-game progression.

Crafting costs

Once you research the SKS through the tech tree or find it as free loot from a crate, you will have the ability to craft it. This can only be done so in the crafting radius of a Level 3 Workbench. Here's what you will need to build this weapon:

• 12 HQM
• 200 Metal Fragments
• 2 Springs
• 1 Semi-automatic Body
