Rust is a video game that is dense with systems and mechanics for you to engage with. From its incredible base building system to its intense PvP combat, everything feels like it has a purpose and utility to make your experience with the game more enjoyable.
However, Rust isn’t the best at explaining these mechanics, rather lending that onus on the community itself to figure out its system to help each other out. It’s precisely that reason we’ve created this one-stop guide for everything you need to know about Green Cards in Rust.
Green Cards are an item that can be found in Rust that provide you with the ability to open Green Doors within the game. You can use the Green Cards by simply swiping them by a Green Doors’ access panel. This will open up the door and provide access. Each time a Green Card is used it loses its durability, and Green Cards can be sold to the Bandit Camp. There are fixed drop locations for the Green Cards and random drop chances in other locations.
It is through this guide that we hope to not only elaborate on the systems of Green Cards and how they function within the game, but also to highlight to new players trying to figure out the locations of the ones they need to find. To find these Green cards is important as they allow access to higher tiered weapons and items to progress faster.
What are Green Cards in Rust?
There are essentially three different kind of key-cards in Rust. The Green Key cards allow you to open up any green door with a access panel attached to it. These Green doors cannot be opened using any other method and require that you locate the necessary Green Key-cards that exist within the wipe in order to open them.
Green doors usually house valuable loot, weapons and other important items, so it’s usually a dash at the start of each session to try to obtain Green cards in fixed locations as soon as possible.
Green Cards have a total durability of 100% and lose 25% durability each time they are used to open a Green door. This effectively means that a single Green key-card can be used multiple times, however, you must still choose where to apply the Green Key-card wisely.
Moreover, in order for the Green key-cards to work they require that the access panel must be hooked up to a power box with an Electric Fuse within it.
Although, there are several fixed spawn locations, that we will mention later, where the Green Key cards can be obtained. It is still an important fact to remember that the Green key-cards can be sold through the Bandit Camp. The price for a Green Key-card in the Bandit camp is a measly 15 Radiation units.
