How to Obtain Rust’s Tin Can Alarm

It is still just as easy to obtain a Tin Can Alarm as the item is both craftable and able to be found in loot pools. Crafting Rust’s Tin Can Alarm requires a total of 100 Wood, 1 rope, and 30 Metal Fragments, making it a nice budget trap. When looting, the alarm can be rarely found in Crates and on the bodies of Scientists.

How to Arm The Rust Tin Can Trap

Rust’s Tin Can Alarm can be rigged with several types of throwable projectiles, making it extremely versatile. To begin, start by placing your tin can alarm in the perimeter of the area you wish to trap. Then drag your mouse and click to set your trip wire and complete the trap placement. Finally, interact with the trap to open a small menu allowing you to place a single projectile inside. Now, once an enemy trips the wire, the projectile will automatically deploy and harm the enemy.
