An In-depth Guide and Walkthrough of the RUST Abandoned Supermarket Monument
\nThe Abandoned Supermarket Monument is a particular point of interest in RUST, nick-named the \u201cSperm Ket\u201d due to its broken roof signage. Introduced back in Devblog 171 in August 2017, it\u2019s can spawn in all biomes along roadsides. At the lowest end of difficulty with regard RUST monuments, it provides players with a valuable location to find food, water, Green Keycards, and other valuable resources.<\/p>\n
This guide provides detailed information about the Abandoned Supermarket, enabling you to identify basic facts quickly and helping you to prepare, access, and successfully run the monument while providing insight into the different types of loot, NPCs, and environment variables you may encounter.<\/p>\n
Living up to its name, the Abandoned Supermarket is typically found directly off the main roads across a RUST map, presenting itself as a rundown rectangular main building with an attached smaller rectangular building on the back.\u00a0There are two cars long abandoned towards the front of the building, usually flanked by an assortment of barrels, car part boxes, and loot crates.<\/p>\n
The primary entrance into the building is a large broken glass double door that leads directly into the store\u2019s dilapidated grocery isles, filled with garbage and food crates in which six can spawn at a given time.<\/p>\n
Two doors in the back of the store lead out to the back of this area.<\/p>\n
One doorway is blocked by a wood barrier at the start of each wipe, breakable with any number of melee weapons, and leads to a small room with a desk housing a Green Keycard, a green military crate, and a side exit.
\nThe other closable doorway leads to an alternate side entrance and can also contain a brown or green military crate.\u00a0Out this door and to the right is a ladder leading to the roof and the potential for two more brown or military crates.
\nPreparing for the Abandoned Supermarket Monument
\nThe Abandoned Supermarket is synonymous with the RUST experience for new players and seasoned veterans stopping by to recycle or top off their calories quickly.\u00a0It is void of hazards such as radiation or scientist NPCs and has an assortment of light switches that pulse for easier visibility, which can be turned on at night for lighting.<\/p>\n
Regardless of gear level or experience, any player can enter the Abandoned Supermarket completely naked and loot its limited treasures.\u00a0It is an excellent monument for acquiring some early game food and provisions but is typically heavily frequented, especially early in a wipe, due to its easy-to-access Green Keycard.<\/p>\n
Because this isn\u2019t a safe zone monument, players should be aware that open-world PVP does take place, and they are just as likely to find a bullet to the back as they are a crate with resources.\u00a0As with any non-safe venture, be sure to check out our Best RUST Armor Combinations guide to maximize your chances of survival.\u00a0As demonstrated in countless streamer clips, even the most geared player will likely die here to a well-placed double-barrel grub.<\/p>\n
Running the Abandoned Supermarket Monument
\nExterior Areas
\nFront of the Building<\/p>\n
The first thing most players will see and experience, the storefront of the Abandoned Supermarket has clearly seen better days.\u00a0There are a few dilapidated cars out front, along with the possibility of a crate, a few barrels, and a car parts crate.\u00a0There is an entrance from this side directly into the market portion of the building.<\/p>\n
Telephone Side<\/p>\n
The telephone on the side of the building really stands out, especially at night, due to its glowing light. Any player may use this phone to make calls. Also present are an entrance into the building and possibly a side-alley crate.<\/p>\n
Recycler, Backend<\/p>\n
The recycler at Abandoned Supermarket is on the backside of the building, confined within a mesh chain link fenced area with several openings for easy access.\u00a0Most players will opt to access it from outside the fence, pressing their bodies up against the wall and using the recycler through the chain link instead of putting themselves into the confines.<\/p>\n
Players can burn Wood in a static comfort barrel for 100% Comfort Status, several barrels and boxes, and a back entrance to the building.<\/p>\n
Ladder to Roof \/ Final Side<\/p>\n
Sharing space with the backend recycler area, the ladder sits caddy corner to the backend monument entrance. Players may climb this ladder simply by jumping their player model into it, looking up, and pressing the W key.<\/p>\n
The final side of the monument has a few barrel spawns and a broken glass sightline into the market portion of the building that can be shot through.<\/p>\n
Roof Area<\/p>\n
The roof itself is two-tiered, with the higher of the two is where you\u2019d end up if you climbed the ladder all the way up.\u00a0 It has the potential for a few barrels and a single crate and is aesthetically a good place to hide due to it having a sign and a few vent units to hide behind for PVP.\u00a0 The lower portion may have another crate and directly overlooks the recycler area.<\/p>\n
Interior Areas
\nGreen Keycard Room<\/p>\n
Probably one of the most frequented areas of any monument in the entire game, the Green Keycard room houses exactly that, along with a guaranteed green military crate spawn. The room itself isn\u2019t much to look out for, but more players get their lucky beginning of wipe break in this particular room than probably any other.<\/p>\n
Beware of grubs taking advantage of this knowledge. This room will be blocked off at both ends by breakable wood coverings at the beginning of the wipe and will remain open for the duration after it is initially broken into.<\/p>\n
Ladder to Market Connection Room<\/p>\n
Opposite the Green Keycard room, this double-door room is a great place to hide from the Patrol Helicopter when necessary and can house a single lootable crate.\u00a0It leads from the outside to the inner market area.<\/p>\n
Shopping Market<\/p>\n
Finally, we come to the actual market of the Abandoned Supermarket.\u00a0With entrances from virtually every other part of the monument, this area is what you\u2019d expect from a shopping mart with aisles and end cap areas housing food crates.<\/p>\n
A busted vending\/ATM machine in the corner serves no real purpose, as well as a checkout counter.\u00a0This area is loaded with nifty angles to hide and is the perfect place to pick up a Granola Bar and some buckshot to the face.<\/p>\n
