How to Use the Catapult Correctly in RUST!

In RUST, catapults aren’t just for sieges — they’re best used for launching players into the sky! Forget about breaking down enemy walls — the true art lies in finding the perfect “volunteer” for your airborne experiments. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering this hilarious tactic:

Step 1: Find a Suitable Target (a.k.a. The “Volunteer”)
The best candidates are wandering, clueless, or fresh spawn players. These unsuspecting survivors are your prime targets. Approach them with kindness — a little deception goes a long way.

Pro Tip: Offer food, gear, or a “safe base” to lure them closer. Being friendly makes them easier to convince.
Step 2: Set the Bait
Prepare a cozy-looking setup near your catapult — maybe a campfire, a chest with low-tier loot, or an unlocked door to trigger curiosity. Once they’re close enough, it’s time to spring the trap!

Pro Tip: Use voice chat to build trust — lines like “Hey, wanna see something cool?” often work wonders.
Step 3: Secure the Player in Position
Getting your “volunteer” into the catapult may require some creativity. Here’s how:
• Ask them to stand still for a “screenshot.”
• Pretend you’re about to “show them a cool trick.”
• If they’re uncooperative… well, handcuffs or traps might become necessary.
Step 4: Launch Time!
Once your target is secured, it’s time for liftoff! Adjust the catapult’s angle for maximum airtime and dramatic effect. Countdown for extra suspense:

“3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF!”
Step 5: Enjoy the Show
Watch as your brave participant soars majestically across the sky. Bonus points if they land in a tree, river, or enemy base.

RUST is full of players — keep experimenting with different launch angles and “volunteers” for optimal flight results.
Final Advice
Remember, the key to successful catapult antics is charm and creativity. The more convincing (or sneaky) you are, the smoother your airborne experiments will be.

Good luck, and may your “volunteers” reach new heights!
