How Many Spears Do You Need to Destroy a Stone Wall in Rust?

Spears are the easiest weapon to craft in Rust, and you will probably have a few ready at all times in the early game.

Unfortunately, the Spears aren’t incredibly powerful, which means that you will have to use a lot of them to damage a Stone Wall.

The Stone Wall has 500 HP, and it is much more resilient than the Wooden Wall, as it doesn’t take as much damage from the same type of weapons.

If you hit a Stone Wall with a Wooden Spear until it breaks, the Wall will lose around 2 HP.

In total, you will need to use and break 236 Wooden Spears on a Stone Wall in Rust to destroy it. This endeavor will take around 1 hour and 44 minutes of continuous wall-hitting.

The Stone Spear is a bit stronger than the Wooden Spear, in theory, but you will actually have to use more to get through the Stone Wall. Stone Spears break down easier than Wooden Spears, but deal more damage.

Stone Spears will also deal around 2 HP damage per Spear, but the actual real number is closer to 1.92.

This means that you will need 260 Stone Spears to destroy a Stone Wall in Rust. Still, since they break faster, you will manage to bring down the wall in just 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Still, those stats are for the hard side of a Stone Wall. If you want to take down a Stone Wall from the soft side, you will only need 23 Wooden Spears (11 minutes) or 26 Stone Spears (8 minutes).


How Many Pickaxes Do You Need to Destroy a Stone Wall in Rust?

Pickaxes are a relatively bad choice if you want to take down a Stone Wall from the hard side in Rust.

There are two Pickaxes that you can use, the simple one and the Stone one, and both deal a really low amount of damage to the walls.

A Stone Pickaxe will deal around 1.5 HP damage per tool destroyed. This means that you will need exactly 340 Stone Pickaxes to destroy a Stone Wall in Rust from the hard side. This task would take you around 2 hours of continuous hitting.

The normal Pickaxe deals around 7 HP damage to the Stone Wall per tool. With 72 Pickaxes, you should be able to destroy a Stone Wall in Rust. Unfortunately, this would take around 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Both Pickaxes would be a horrible choice for destroying a Stone Wall from the hard side. However, the results are different when you look at the soft side.

With 33 Stone Pickaxes, you can easily take down a Stone Wall from the soft side, in just under 13 minutes.

To destroy a Stone Wall using the soft side with normal Pickaxes, you will need to use 7 of them. This will take you 10 minutes and a half.
