We speculate that the Boomerang will be a primitive weapon in Rust. It will either be craftable on the Workbench Level 1 or without the requirement of any Workbenches.
There is no official date regarding the weapon's release, but if it has been posed for the August force wipe, it could be released on August 1, 2024. We speculate this on the fact that all monthly force wipe updates go live on the first Thursday of the month.
Furthermore, a 'Legacy Wood Pile' is reportedly in development, however, there's no hint regarding its features or uses in the game yet. Alongside this addition, wolves in the game are being reworked, and a range of new developments also indicate the development of a 'Wallpaper' DLC for the game.
