Abyss Horizontal Storage Tank
The Abyss Horizontal Storage Tank is a DLC-only storage receptacle in RUST added to the game with the July 2025 update, presumably as a retroactive part of the original Abyss DLC. It is only obtainable by someone who owns the DLC and crafts it.
The primary function of this item is to act as a base storage implement, only to a more fashionable degree. This item will most likely be deemed “Pay-to-Win”, given that you can place more of them in a space similar to that of a Large Wooden Box, providing you with more overall storage.

How to use an Abyss Horizontal Storage Tank
Functionally, they are 48-slot receptacles of a unique size and shape to their item type, used as the primary storage item for almost every base you will ‘covertly visit.’ They are NOT currently lockable with either a Code Lock or Key Lock. Players may cleanly fit up to six of these boxes if arranged perfectly onto a single foundation, provided there is no obstruction overhead. This is in contrast to the default large wood box, which can only fit four.
For those wishing to stack these barrels, they are placeable on both player-crafted floor-shelving or Salvaged Shelves.
