Fans now have a release window for the console version of Rust, a multiplayer, survival game that features Player-Versus-Environment, and Player-Versus-Player, conflict on procedurally generated maps. With a growing base of potential, in-game threats, Rust players might consider reviewing this Harbor Puzzle Guide, so they can progress to higher-tier puzzles more efficiently.

Harbors are a type of Monument (similar to what gamers think of as a “dungeon”) in Rust that provides newly spawned players with an ideal location for looting, recycling, and, sometimes, refining crude oil into low-grade fuel. Additionally, each Harbor has a puzzle that provides fans with valuable resources for surviving the environment of Rust, one of the best online, open-world games on PC.

There are two types of Harbor, Large and Small, and each contains a Green Puzzle Area. The lowest of the three puzzle tiers, these require a Green Keycard (which can be found on desks, and within Tier 0 Monuments), and one Electric Fuse. 

The puzzle for the Small Harbor is in a two-story building that can be identified by a second-floor railing that’s reinforced with sandbags, and which can be found on the right-hand side of the Harbor, as the player faces the water. After entering through the ground-level door, players must locate an open, sparking fuse box, and insert their Electric Fuse into it.

A switch is located nearby, which the player must activate to unlock the door on the second floor. Players must exit the room, ascend the nearby staircase, and swipe the Green Keycard on the access panel beside the second-story door. 

Players can find the puzzle for the Large Harbor by locating a small room that rests on the dock, near the front-end of the Harbor, and on the other side of the chainlink fencing that borders the train tracks. Players must destroy a wooden barrier that blocks entry into the room by bashing it with a rock or tool. It's possible that the barrier could have been destroyed already by another gamer, so players must stay alert; should fans want to focus on the puzzle with fewer distractions, Rust now has a mode for casual players.

Similar to the puzzle at the Small Harbor, players must look for the fuse box, insert the Electric Fuse, and flip the switch. However, at the Large Harbor, the switch is located on the wall outside of the building, “behind” the fuse box inside.

Another deviation from the smaller puzzle, this one requires players to run to a secondary location. On the dock, and under the hanger, a small room hides among the bulk-liquid transport containers; players can trace it easily by following the power line that runs from the switch to the Green Keycard access panel. Players should be mindful that the Electric Fuse has a decay timer. Once exhausted, the circuit is broken between the switch and the access panel, causing the door to close. 

Once players gain access to the Green Puzzle Area in a Harbor, Large or Small, they will find a Blue Keycard for use in higher-tiered Monuments, and one Loot Crate. There is no radiation at the Harbors, and plenty of high ground for defense, so, after completing the puzzle, newly spawned players can take their time, and scavenge thoroughly. One of the mistakes that, seemingly, everyone makes while playing Rust is to neglect the building mechanics of the game, so players are advised to recycle any unwanted items before leaving.

Rust is available now for PC and Mac. A PS4 and Xbox One version are currently in development.
