Grubs require strong and cheap weapons that will allow for varied amounts of success. The most common tool would be the double barrel, this weapon is a tier one power house that requires no aim, little value loss on death, and best of all, can offer up full metal chads in 1 shot. Every time you hear a double barrel go off in the distance, you can almost guarantee a small child is yelling about losing his ak set in the same area in chat to a grub. The double barrel can be purchased from outpost or made with a pipe and some metal frags at the bandit camp tier one. this weapon can be made very early in the wipe and can kill any opponent if the distance is right.

Secondly, there is the waterpipe. The waterpipe is a great alternative to the Double barrel as it requires no pipes and just metal frags and wood to make. If using a waterpipe, either use 2 of them or bring a better shotgun shell like buck shot or slugs. A waterpipe and slugs are known for thier deadliness at medium range with a clean head shot.

My personal favorite grubby start is to get some scrap, go to bandit and gamble. If I get over 500 scrap I can purchase the M92 pistol, research the ammo at bandit research table. Then I can buy f1 grenades and recycle them, then I can craft as much ammo as I want at the bandit Tier 1. The M92 isn't known as a grub weapon, but in the right hands of a naked it can take down enemies fast and far.

Grubbing strategies can vary from simple to complex. Here I will break down why and where to grub based on my findings.

Door camping

Door camping is frowned upon as it takes little skill, little knowledge of the game, and according to the victims, little balls. Door camping is a great strategy because of these reasons precisely. What you should know about door camping is that it can lead to going deep (BCHILLZ on youtube if you dont know about it) which can snowball you into major loot. Door camping a wooden base that has bow kids inside won't get you too far. You have to door camp groups that you know have at least tier 2 weapons or higher like SARs, SMG, Tommy, ect. When camping someones house you need to learn how to crouch walk (spamming CTRL so your character moves fast but doesn't make noise), and you need to learn how to keep your head out of the way by looking down and ALT looking at the door. Making yourself as hidden and small as a grub, and door camper, is crucial.

Monument / Recycler Camping

In rust there are places where loot and pvp thrive, this is where you need to be as a grub to maximize your gains. Recyclers and monuments like Oxums and Abandoned supermarket are hot spot places to use the recyler and get loot / green cards. These smaller monuments require no radiation protection and are usually used by tier 1 and tier 2 players. Although they arn't the best places, they will consistently give you loot over time. The big boys to camp are Launch site, Air field, And military tunnels. These all require 13 radiation protection to get in (full cloth clothing), but offer way better loot as well as tier 3 players to grub. When in these monuments it is good to camp the recyler , or the card puzzle exits. Either of these options will offer you up loaded players.

Launch site
Launch site gets its own section cause thats how it be. Launch site has so many hallways, buildings, and vents to hide in. Bradley is taken often on many servers and the players taking them will always use roof and towers leaving you with plenty of oppertunities to grub a kit and dip. Most player going to launch will NOT be using a bow unless its force wipe, so almost any kill there will be profit as a grub. Launch is one of the most active monuments in the game and with all the corners, twists, and turns, you are bound to make a play there eventually.
