The RUST Metal Shop Front is a deployable construction item, allowing players to place it as a permanent full doorway covering that can be affixed over a double door frame opening. It allows players to see in and out while prohibiting anyone from using it as an access point.
It’s also available to all players as a default blueprint. Once placed, it cannot be removed, making it an ideal tool for griefing enemy bases in RUST.
It also functions as a two-way secure trade window that allows base owners to exchange goods with persons on the outside without fear of being shot. It is considerably stronger than its Wooden Shop Front counterpart and can act as a wall with strength greater than stone but not as high as metal.
Metal Shop Fronts are not found in any container or as loot from any NPC in the game. Players may only obtain them through crafting at a tier 1 workbench. They add upkeep costs to bases that use them and will remain in place without decay so long as they are under the effect of a Tool Cupboard.
