Reptile Hunter

(Metal Armor) – The most stealthy skin for the new biome, but with a catch: its price has spiked by +100% in the last month.


Why is it top-tier?
✔ Perfect camouflage – Green-brown texture blends seamlessly into jungles.

✔ Rarity – Stopped dropping in 2023; remaining stock is hoarded by traders.

✔ "Hunter" aesthetic – Prioritizes stealth over flashiness.


Downsides:
❌ Overpriced – Currently costs $93 for the full set (cheaper alternatives exist). The price is its biggest drawback.


Reptile Hunter Facemask | Starting price: $31.17


Reptile Hunter Chestplate | Starting price: $18.97


Reptile Hunter Hoodie | Starting price: $21.11


Reptile Hunter Pants | Starting price: $13.16


Reptile Hunter Kilt | Starting price: $8.70

Total: $93.01 (at time of writing).

Alternative

: The Forest Ranger set. Way more functional than other options... but only for those with fat wallets!
Buy Forest Ranger set

Verdict:
Only worth it if you’re paying for clout. Budget players should skip it.

Bonus: Military Camo AK47

A practical, budget-friendly skin for assault rifles, ideal for green biomes. For just ~$3, you get both style and a tactical edge—its camo makes you harder to spot in foliage.

Why it’s great:
✔ Effective masking – Green-brown pattern mimics forests/grass.

✔ Affordable – One of the cheapest camo AK skins (5x cheaper than rivals).

✔ Versatile – Works for beginners and veterans alike.


Downsides:
❌ Too basic – No "wow" factor for flexers.
❌ Low rarity – Not for collectors.


Military Camo AK47 | Starting price: $3.19

Verdict:
Yes—if you care about function over fame. The best PvP value for forest combat!

Reptile Hunter Coffee Armor (3rd Place)

Reptile Hunter Coffee Set

– A stylish and more affordable way to rock that crocodile-skin look in the new jungle biomes.


Why It's Top-Tier?
✔ Unique Design – Blends brown and swampy tones for perfect reptilian vibes.

✔ Budget-Friendly – Way cheaper than the metal set but just as cool.


Downsides:
❌ Price Spike – Like the metal set, costs have jumped recently.

Set Breakdown:
Reptile Hunter Helmet | $10.63


Reptile Hunter Vest | $12.60


Reptile Hunter Hoodie | $21.11


Reptile Hunter Pants | $13.16


Reptile Hunter Kilt | $8.70


Total: $66.20 (prices at time of review)

Bonus: Snakebite SAR

Snakebite SAR – A sleek, budget skin for the semi-auto SAR rifle, perfect for green zones. For just $1.81, you get snake-scale camo and a tactical edge in foliage.

Why It Rocks:
✔ Stealthy Snake Camo – Green/black pattern hides you in grass/bushes.

✔ Dirt Cheap – One of the cheapest themed SAR skins.

✔ PVE/PVP Ready – Great for forest combat.


But...
❌ Useless in Deserts/Snow – Stands out against pale terrain.
❌ Snake Haters Beware – Not for ophidiophobes!

Snakebite SAR | $1.81


Verdict:
Buy it if you want a functional, cheap skin for jungles. Perfect for new players!

Prices subject to change. Let me know if you'd like any tweaks! 🐍

Jungle ninja - Fisherman and Fish Set(2rd Place)

Fisherman and Fish Set

– The Ultimate Jungle Ghost!
I deliberately didn't highlight the character so you can see just how effective this camouflage is.


This budget burlap set, available from the early game, turns you into an invisible "jungle ninja"—perfect for blending into foliage and ambushes.


Why #2?
✔ Perfect stealth – Need proof? See for yourself.

✔ Dirt cheap – Only requires basic cloth/leather to craft.
✔ Tactical nightmare – Players with crossbows become deadly ambush predators.

But...
❌ Looks poor – Zero "flex" value.
❌ No armor – Pure stealth, no combat protection.
❌ Pricey now – Full set costs more than expected.

Set Breakdown:
Fisherman Burlap Shirt | $14.50


Fisherman Burlap Pants | $13.59


Fish Head Mask | $5.47


Fish Gloves | $5.87


Fish Poncho | $5.55


Fish Shoes | $8.97


Total: $53.95 (at time of writing).

Pro Tip:
*"Want to terrify the server? Wear this set, grab a crossbow, hide in bushes/trees, and watch chat explode with ‘WHERE IS HE ***ING HIDING?!’"

Bonus Picks

:1. Fish Bow

The perfect stealthy bow to complete your loadout.
Fish Bow | $2.46


2. Snakebite Sleeping Bag

Blends into the biome and warns wanderers: "This area isn’t safe."
Snakebite Sleeping Bag | $1.80


Final Verdict:
A must-have for stealth players, but invest only if you love ambush gameplay. Now, onto our #1 pick...

Garage Door - Aftermath Garage Door (1st Place)

Aftermath Garage Door – The unexpected king of the new DLC


"Aftermath Garage Door – a skin made for jungles... accidentally."

This skin fits the jungle aesthetic perfectly, even though it was created long before this update. Here's why it's #1:

✔ Perfect Compatibility with "Aztecs" DLC

Stone texture + green elements = natural biome extension

Pairs perfectly with DLC metal when painted green

✔ Practical Benefits
Muted colors = best base camouflage

Stylish but subtle design


✔ Great Investment
Only $4.43 – still affordable but rising fast (+80% this week)
No longer dropping – rare but not overpriced

Pro Tip: Combine this door with DLC walls to create perfect "ancient ruins" with modern tech!


Aftermath Garage Door | Current price: $4.43

Why It's #1
Accidental Genius: Unintentionally perfect for new jungle biome

Stealthy: Makes bases harder to spot

Budget-Friendly: Still cheap but gaining value fast

End of review

So What Should You Choose?
Fisherman Set turns you into a jungle ghost

Military Camo AK gives tactical advantage for just $3

Reptile Hunter adds style + street cred

But Aftermath Garage Door is the ONLY skin that:
✅ Blends ancient ruins with modern defense
✅ Is spiking in value (from
2.5
→
2.5→4.5 in a week!)
✅ Bridges classic Rust and the new DLC perfectly
