I have already died at oil rig twice today with my best gear. One time to a scientist which bursted me in 2 seconds because i severely underestimated it, and the other time to a group who were currently clearing when I arrived. Now I am armed with another gun and thanks to you, new knowledge, so now I will go conquer the small oil rig. Third time is the charm!
I used this guide and before I even opened the locked crate I got a supply signal from a scientist; looked up the chances and the chance of a scientist dropping a supply signal is 0.3% :D
I really want to thank you for this quick and complete guide on smoil rig. Earlier today, I attempted my very first solo take on this monument as I usually get carried by my friends. I brought with me the three cards, fuse, SAR, 120 rifle bullets, some meds, and a complete set of road sign armor. I began by sniping the scientists from my boat before entering and as I was about to change my clothes, I realized that the road sign armor would be of no use since the small oil rig was in a tundra biome. Wearing too much metal would deplete my health and hinder me from succesfully conquering this Herculean feat for a noob like me. Fast forward to the time I hesitated to swipe my red card and begin my duel against the heavies, I said YOLO and pressed E. I opted to go to the 3rd level and bait them one by one. Unfortunately, I was not that great at dodging their shots or using cover to my advantage but I was able to finish them all. In fact, I thought I was gonna die since the rifle bullets I brought with me were running low and with one bullet left, I made a headshot and killed the last heavy. However, there were still four minutes left before the crate unlocks and I saw in the global chat, "solo guy on rig with a sar". I realized that this info was possible due to that person having a computer in his base in order to watch the CCTV. With zero rifle bullets and zero syringes in my pocket, I jumped off to the ocean without hesitation and barely missed my landing in the water. I rode my boat and drove off the distance. However, that dive has caused me to get wet (hehe) by 100% which have caused a -26C on my body temperature. I realized at that moment that maybe death is truly inevitable for noobs trying to solo take this monument for the first time. I tried to heal up wih bandages but I ran out of cloth. Death was coming and as my health ticked closer to zero, I accepted my fate. Dead. I'm dead. All that effort... for death. Epilogue: I realized I can buy another boat so I immediately went to the fishing village and I managed to collect my stuff. I got home unharmed and depot'd all my loot. It was a very fun and memorable experience for me.
Wow, thank you for telling your story. That is definitely a memorable experience compared to some of the other outcomes that could have occurred. Congrats on your first solo oil rig and hopefully your future endeavours are also as successful.
Thanks a Ton! I recently started playing rust and I know how to build bases and do basic things but monuments and puzzles are confusing and this wipe I have only gone to the supermarkets and the dome and then tried to do Train Yard and failed because I didn't know where the loot was and I stayed too long so thanks!
One word: railing! You can shoot them in the head inbetween the railing when you hide behind the crane. They'll not be able to fire back then, if you are carefull. They'll just gather under the floor your standing on, and their heads will be visible/targetable.
personally i would wrap around from the back and get a line of sight from the back and shoot them from there but dont count on my ive never done smoil (i play on console)
Snipe the 1 on the bottom and the closest one on the 2st floor then approach and auto crouch to avoid the other 1st floor scientist's then slowly climb and kill
Lmao I got the game a few months ago and my first time taking it I couldn’t go. I was in a group of five and since I was the least experienced they left me behind. I was already at the beach so I swam all the way with a hazzy. Let’s just say they were VERY surprised that I climbed up and sneaked next to them.
Here a nice tip for you sneakers if you go up the other entrance and get wet after you do your thing you can go up the long thing to the left of the heli pad and stand under it you can remove wetness and cold ( take off armour )
im very new to rust and i didn't really now what oil rig was until now which i can see its a very important thing in a wipe especially a week wipe theres no time to grind scrap so oil is your homie when it comes to guns
nice videos for a small youtuber they are very profesional and easy to fallow wich many other videos dont do but a quick suggestion is updating old videos or just the tools and defense beginner guide for i was looking at it and from 700 hours of experiance i beilieve many things might need to be changed like the bone club or melee options for it felt like you were implying to try to get them instread of use them if you find them
The Green Keycard and Fuse are not required. The doors for both can be opened by interacting with them as they are not locked. However the rest of the video is great and very informative for new players.
I think they took out the elite crate from the blue room... It's pretty fair i mean a blue key card is something pretty common, it shouldn't give access to crates that spawn tier 3 guns, mil grade guns and c4 + a bunch of other stuff... Otherwise why would you need a red one
I play on a 2x server with a group that is rich so what i just do is i start flying with a mini and right before i Get to the lowest level kinda just charge in and just out before it lands in the ocean and gets destoyed. But its fine that i do it cuz we got to many minis. For some reason we also have alot of syringes, so one time i brought like 70 syringes bcuz i didnt care. But it was fine they had a box full of syringes anyway
There are servers called "Creative" or "Build" servers which allow you to fly around the map with god mode and limited admin commands. You can use these to practice monuments, weapons or building techniques.
Hey dude, ive done the small oil rig three times now and all of those times the locked crate despawned before i got there. The map showed the locked crate on the map but when i got to the top it despawned. I was just wondering how fast i had to do it before it despawned (Im new to rust and your videos have been helping me out a lot)
Very strange. The locked crate should remain on the oil rig until it has been opened and looted by other players. Maybe when you got there someone had already looted it and ran off. I would suggest holding on to an RF Pager tuned to the SOS frequency number as I mentioned in the video. This way when you go to the small oil rig you will be alerted if someone else is opening the locked crate.
Its a issue within Facepunch. Oil rigs are my main monuments and this happens my every 5-6th run. It ussually happens when a server hasn't restarted for a long time or it happens after a server restarted recently..
@@andrewsavengers5612 Yeah its still a known bug. They have tried to do something, together with server owners doing constant restarts as well. The chance of this happening now are very slim but the glitch is definetly still there.
I went up on the crane and started shooting the heavy scientists. They all decided to gather below the crane so I just threw some grenades and that was it lol.
Console just got oil rig and you forgot to mention the 15 man full metal kids camping the rig day and night. They just M2 4× anyone coming near. 🤦♂️😂😂 I can't wait for private severs so they'll be stuck on servers with ONLY zergs and us solos can fight against other solos and duo's.
@@incognito6815 my bad the lr is what i meant i was thinking of the sound the gun makes so i said ak cause its similar. Also yeah they almost always miss but ive had multiple incidents wherre they flurry a bunch of shots at me when i headshot one and all but one miss.
If you are talking about the key card puzzles then you have the harbour, Satellite, Sewer Branch, Airfield , Trainyard, Power Plant, Water Treatment, Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Oil rigs. I think I have listed them all but might have missed one or two.
i tried it today and i killed all the bots on the bottom and saw a hazzy pulling up in a boat so i killed him and he was loaded with 2k scrap and i tried to loot him and drowned and couldn’t get back so i quit that server
You could go onto modded creative servers which let you fly and spawn items in. Additionally, you could google how to host a local rust server on your PC.
So heres my story My dumb brain thought i needed only a green card for the crate so i went back and there was a sar guy so i fought him and he had red card so i continued not me knowing what will happen i got scared and stayed in the same position for 15 mins luckily no one came and i got a ton of stuff
@@eyeohs the key is the medical syringes. My friend and I brought like 12 bandages and called it a day. With enough meds anyone can do it with enough time/patience. As an update I should mention my friend and I did a successful run and defended against 2 separate counter parties.
they most definetly can shoot you from the crane, thanks a bunch for that, first time i tried oil and i get absolutely shat on because of what you've said...

bro i never subscribe on yt but this dude is hella helpful and gets straight to the point
Cheers mate and glad to hear they are helping you out :)
I always die playing solo when the heavy scientists drop
same
I like baiting them to go down the stairs then hide underneath the stairs and shoot them then. You will need a lot of med sticks
If you don't think you will get countered (low pop) - start the crate and take your boat out to sniping distance and shoot out the heavies
How do you approach small oil rig in a diving tank without getting shot by the first scientist on the lower level just before the latter?
personally i would wrap around from the back and get a line of sight from the back and shoot them from there but dont count on my ive never done smoil (i play on console)
Swim under the scientist and use a combat knife to kill him through the floor
Dunno but if you shoot them from far away on a boat so you can do it even if your prim
U can swim under the dock and hit him with a melee through the floor
Snipe the 1 on the bottom and the closest one on the 2st floor then approach and auto crouch to avoid the other 1st floor scientist's then slowly climb and kill

Hi, idk what i do wrong, but when i call chinook, i ran to the crane, and after few mins sciencist goes to back of crane and killed me.

Happy the video could help 👍
POV: You are watching this video as a console player, trying to take oilrig with a revolver and getting shitoned by the first blue because of aimbot🥲👍
And you spent everything you had on that revolver just to lose it to a bot 😭
What armour do you recommend?
The Green Keycard and Fuse are not required. The doors for both can be opened by interacting with them as they are not locked. However the rest of the video is great and very informative for new players.
Not true at all. The green door does take a green card.
I think they took out the elite crate from the blue room... It's pretty fair i mean a blue key card is something pretty common, it shouldn't give access to crates that spawn tier 3 guns, mil grade guns and c4 + a bunch of other stuff... Otherwise why would you need a red one
Yeah they did, but an elite crate will actually be there one time as soon as the server wipes, but it'll never respawn.
Awesome video as always!
Thanks Ghost :)

There are servers called "Creative" or "Build" servers which allow you to fly around the map with god mode and limited admin commands. You can use these to practice monuments, weapons or building techniques.
You dont really need green card and fuse because both doors can be actually opened like normal doors..
can i land a scrap heli somewhere on the oil rig? can I just leave it on the helipad or does it need to go somewhere else?
You can land it anywhere you can fit it and not get shot by scientists.
your videos are really good
Cheers :)
I can't believe spoonkid did it with spears only
If your insanely lucky you can get a c4 off heavy scientists on large
Man i cant wait to get rust on pc, ive been stuck on console rust but i am saving for a pc. I CANT WAIT lol
You can run a mini into the chinuk killing all the heveys
i suppose the heavy scientist are an easter egg referencing the MW2 Spec Ops missions :DDD
no
Watch the biggest comeback known to man ima take oil rig with just a DB
bro how do you get them to come 1 by 1 i just get swarmed by like 4 at the same time.
A short video will be better, I come on here bc I didn’t know which card to take, and you telling me about the whole game
very useful video, if you make more gameplay vids i think they would be good too

What’s this map u are practicing on?
Tips on even getting guns? Except the basic revi for 200 scrap I mean like sars I usually go to dome
I usually get SAR from the skill tree on the workbench
Does anybody know how long it takes for the Blue and red key card room to close
yesterday i went oil rig for the first time,it was really good until 2 scientists showed up and killed me instantly,then i couldnt go back there
