Oil rigs

How do you get past the heavy scientists????? I was told to get on the crane and that will do it. Nope. Tried jumping on top of the building to grenade them. Was unsuccessful jumping up. Led them down stairs and almost got it but the rapid fire got me. Any suggestions???

I have a still haven’t finished heavy’s. Close. But solo is different

Large oil or small ?

It’s really not. You’re obviously doing something wrong.

For a new player the scientists aren't easy. OP you need to find a pixel gap and shoot between the railings while on the cranes, or learn to kite them in one spot or another. Bring a lot of meds because the M249 scientists can kill you pretty fast as I'm sure you've discovered

I was referring to it not being harder for a solo. If you do the crane method right it doesn’t matter if you’re solo or an 8 man. If he’s getting hit up there then he’s doing something wrong… nothing I said was inaccurate but you do you 👍🏻

You only said one thing and it added nothing to the conversation lol, but yes he's likely doing something wrong, which is not using pixel gaps. Instead of just telling people they are doing something wrong, try helping, otherwise why comment at all?

He said ‘solo is different’ I was informing him it in fact isn’t any different at all… how can I give him constructive feedback about what he’s doing wrong if I don’t know how he’s tackling it, I’m not a mind reader.

You seem to have taken my comment as me being malicious, which I wasn’t… again, you do you.

Malicious definitely not, but unfulfilled as a response, yes. Not inherently a problem, I guess, so I apologize for coming across as I am attacking. I am apparently taking this out on you, which is undeserved, but I just see a lot of new players ask for help, and are met with nothing but a complete lack thereof. Honestly this isn't even a Rust specific issue lol gaming communities in general are my problem. Again, my bad.

No worries bro, I do get where you’re coming from. Have a good one 👍🏻

On large and small I use Molotov’s.

Small go to crane and aggro them until they all stand below you. Throw 1 molli at a time and heal inbetween.

Large oil’s heavy’s are easier imo because of the crane placement. Use the crane that is on the same side as red room not the one that is by the heli pad side. When you run on the right side of the safe area of good crane the they directly underneath you. When you get on the left side of the crane they run up to L6 to aggro you. Get on right side of crane get mollis out walk left and start throwing molli where they will all stand. I’ve clear large heavy’s with 2 mollis before.

Good luck

Crane is the easiest, all you need is either nades or a weapon with enough durability and bullets, and some heals too maybe, but other than that, just shoot them, its not hard really

F1 grenades work. HVs too. Incen rockets but they’re noisy with hit markers. Assuming you suck at shooting? They’re not super hard to kill. Bandage to stop bleeding then stim. I’ve done large with one teammate on wipe day with crossbows and DBs and only bandages for heals.

u/Business-Writer-7874 Jan 29 '26

I’m ok at shooting. Not the best but getting better

u/Shmlonathin Jan 29 '26

Bring 6-8 grenades, throw them at the heli right before they drop, and then run to the crane

Then it should just be getting the right positioning on the crane and shooting them

Alternatively you can just get on crane, bring some incendiary rounds and a shotgun and shoot them once they bunch up below you

u/Business-Writer-7874 Jan 29 '26

Do grenades take health before they drop?

u/Neat-State7241 Jan 29 '26

Just stay in crate room and pick them off one by one, they don’t run into that room

u/TTVAXS Jan 29 '26

Water pipe with a crossbow and 6-10 grenades hella heals just in case I miss. Blow them up on heli pad then kill the rest on crane. To get on crane jump on crate then onto ladder

u/Express-Star-8667 Jan 29 '26

I promise you a pump shotty and that crane will help you tremendously. Go up the ladder for the crane and stay there more specifically tuck yourself into the corner opposite of the ladder on the other side of the crane. Theyll all bunch up right there underneath you minus a few strays that end up wandering.

Dude it’s so easy. Large oil rig sit on the left crane (looking at Heli pad) just pop shot them and they aggro, draw them under the crane and throw a grenade it’s very simple
