Prison Cell Wall

The RUST Prison Cell Wall is a deployable construction item that affixes over a double door frame opening allowing players to see in and out of it while blocking players from passing through it.

Once a Prison Cell Wall is placed, it cannot be removed with a Hammer, making it an effective griefing tool if used on a raided enemy base. It is nowhere near as strong as the Metal Shop Front which provides a similar blocking capacity and doesn’t impede bullets almost at all.  

There is also a doorway variety of this item in RUST called Prison Cell Gate. Either prison cell item’s biggest utility is in creating Auto Turret bays. Most players will use these barricade types to safeguard their Auto Turrets from being shot out with bows or speared out.

The downside of this method is flame retention caused by the cell itself. When impacted by Incendiary Rockets or other flame types, the fire passes through and is contained within the cell, which causes the turret to die considerably faster than if the flames were free to spread and jump away naturally. Many don’t know this tradeoff to consider when doing a base design.

Prison Cell Walls may be found in various mid-to-high-tier loot crates and drops from several types of NPC scientists. You may also obtain them through crafting. 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.
