NOTE: If you are looking for the damage types of the main branch of Rust, see Damage Types.

There are five types of damage in Legacy Rust:

Bullet

Bullet damage is, clearly, the damage inflicted when you get shot by a gun.

Cold

Cold protection allows you to go through the night without having the Cold status.

Explosion

Explosion protection protects you from explosive weapons, such as Explosive Charges and F1 Grenades.

Melee

This is damage you take from melee weapons such as the Rock and Hatchet.

Radiation

This is the type of damage from entering or being near radtowns.
