5.20. Fuse Box Locations & Powering Monuments
Unlock the secrets of Rust's monuments by learning the locations of fuse boxes and how to power them up. This guide details how to find fuse boxes, the types of fuses required, and the benefits of powering up specific monuments. Learn how to strategically activate power to gain access to unique loot, activate defenses, or complete monument puzzles more efficiently.
Fuse boxes are critical components for activating certain functionalities within Rust monuments. They typically require a specific type of fuse (e.g., a small fuse or a large fuse) to be inserted. Once powered, these fuse boxes can activate various systems, such as turrets, lights, doors, or even entire puzzle sequences. For example, powering the fuse box at the Supermarket monument can activate its vending machines and lights, making it a safer place to trade. At the Launch Site, activating certain fuse boxes is part of the puzzle to access higher-tier loot rooms. Understanding where fuse boxes are located and what type of fuse they need is essential for efficient monument runs. Always be cautious when approaching fuse boxes, as they are often in exposed areas and can attract other players. Having a few spare fuses in your inventory can save you time and frustration when exploring monuments.
